Your city government encourages money-saving suggestions to help balance the city budget. The suggestion committee, which you chair, has voted to adopt five suggestions.

1. Direct deposit paychecks to save distribution and printing costs. Suggested by Park Kim Lee, in Recreation and Parks.

2. Buy supplies in bulk. Suggested by Jolene Zygmund, in Maintenance.

3. Charge nearby towns and suburbs a fee for sending their firefighters through the city fire academy. Suggested by Charles Boxell, in Fire Safety.

4. Ask employees to reimburse the city for personal photocopies or phone calls. Suggested by Maria Echeverria, in Police.

5. Install lock boxes so that meter readers dont have to turn off water valves when people move. This causes wear and tear, and broken valves must be dug up and replaced. Suggested by Travis Gratton, in Water Line Maintenance.

Each suggester gets $100. The Accounting Department will cut checks the first of next month; checks should reach people in interoffice mail a few days later.

As Your Instructor Directs,

a. Write to one of the suggesters, giving the good news.

b. Write to all employees, announcing the award winners.
