Reason for budget appropriation:
As of November 1st we have a reserve of$53,225.19 in this account.The VRF money in this account is something that if not used rolls over year to year and allows us to make bigger
purchases for our vessels. (his year we would like to buy a GPS and Sonar for the MN Valor. The recent servicing and winterizing of both vessels has put us over budget,so we would
like to move additional funds to cover us until the end of the year.There are no more trainings/manhours expected but we still have our moorage and since there are no more
appropriations for the year we would like to include a slush fund in case we incur a water rescue be now and December 31st.
