For FY 2012 Council budgeted $3,500 for transportation and $2,500 for subsistence. To date $1,340.21 has been expended from Transportation Acct. No. 100.100.5236, leaving a balance of $2,159.79; and $328.96 has been expended from Subsistence Acct. No. 100.100.5237, with a balance of $2,171.04 remaining.
