$5,250 from the State of Florida EMS County Grant Award Program.
Q„~ The revenue exceed that which was allotted in the current budget and,
therefore, will need to be adjusted accordingly. The revenue account
number is 337210 Palm Beach County EMS Grants. The current budget
reflects $2,500, and it would need to be adjusted to $5,250. Also, the
expenditure account number 1-19-528-0-2-6064 in the EMS Capital
section should also be adjusted this additional $5,250 for revenue and
expenditure of these funds.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact
me.
