Sir,
We have recently had two auto accidents involving school flashers. The repairs were
made immediately, but this will exhaust all our regular maintenance funds.
Our insurance deductible is $25,000.
1 am requesting to use Street Contingency for $19,200.00 to cover these unexpected
repairs performed by Southwest Signal.
Thank You for your consideration.
