"I finally told the contractor to process the stuff' and then submitted a request for a transfer ofids." "Mr. Cram attended the Finance Committee meeting and was questioned by members as to how the brush is normally handled outside of an emergency situation, who gets paid for it, where does the money go." "In nay opinion, if there is ever a case where an emergency transfer is legitimate it's in the event of a hurricane where we have to take care of this brush and debris and thea request it from F. .M.A. first if not from the Finance Committee." "The Finance Committee was not satisfied, Bob didn't have all the answers neither do I.'' "They asked whether or not we could pay for this out ofour trash budget."
