PO Box 39 Efland, NC 27243 April 9, 2001 Ms. Donna Dean Budget Director Orange County PO Box 8181 Hillsborough, NC 27278 Dear Ms. Dean, As Chairman of the Board of Directors of Efland Volunteer Fire Co., Inc. I am requesting that the March 13, 2001 fund balance of $16,579.00 be released to our fire department as soon as possible. This money will be used to offset the cost of a new tanker, which we have ordered and expect to accept delivery on in July of 2001. This truck has a contract price of $189,007.00, which we plan to pay for with the fund balance, accumulated reserves of approximately $123,000, and a loan for the balance. This truck will replace our 30- year -old tanker that the fire department purchased when they were incorporated in 1971. Because the well being of the citizens of the Efland fire district, as well as the safety of the fire fighters is of the utmost importance to the Board of Directors, we respectfully request the fund balance for the purchase of the tanker. By receiving the fund balance, the amount of the loan necessary to pay for the balance of the truck, will be reduced. This will enable the department to continue to run on a solid financial base with their regular operating budget. Thank you for your time and consideration to this matter. Sincerely, A.D.
