RESERVE FUNDS

Contingency Fund
as of April 30, 2005
These are funds put aside to cover unforseen maintenance expenses. Unspent budget monies will be put either here or into the Capital Reserve Fund

Capital Reserve Fund
as of April 30, 2005
This is a fund to be spent only on new capital purchases/projects. This is being purposefully grown to offset the cost and borrowing required to build a new main firehall in the near future.
