Cc: Homer Croy, ACM for Development Services
Date: November 2, 2007
Subject: Petty Cash Drawer
The Public Works petty cash drawer, which is maintained by Debra Lee, currently has a $500
reserve. We have recently discussed the fact that this amount is becoming inadequate due to
rising prices as well as an increase in the number of staff requesting reimbursement from this
particular fund.
Therefore, the Public Works Department would like to formally request an increase in the petty
cash drawer limit from $500 to $700. If you have any questions or concerns please contact me
at extension 469 to discuss. Thank you.
Mark Greenwood, p.E.
