24-Approved CR1Amendment$0.0004/07/202104/07/202106/30/2021Polk County Crime Stoppers, Inc. requests to move $150.00 out of line item Vehicle Mileage and add $150.00 into line item Postage . This request is made to make up a shortage in the Postage line item which occurred as a result of COVID-19 restrictions. The COVID-19 restrictions changed our monthly in-person/group meeting to being held virtually to ensure the safety of the board members and other attendees. This resulted in state mandated paperwork requiring signatures to be mailed to those whose signature are required on those forms. This was not anticipated in the original budget for 2020-2021 and resulted in a shortage in the postage line item.
