Petty Cash Fund Requirements For Department 7580 Huntsville Race Operations

The operation of this Department requires all the functions of a complete
plant, small machine shop, garage and experimental car build up and road test
operations. Everything must be handled as expeditiously as possible with, at
present, only four people.

To expedite purchases and services we have established, with the aid of
Purchasing, charge accounts at several key stores and have contracted janitorial
services.

The majority of our expenses have been handled with petty cash which w -
proven to be the most efficient method under Chrysler Huntsville Operations.
We previously operated with a $200. 00 petty cash fund, however, we could re­
plenish it quickly by visiting the Comptroller and turning in receipts and a cash
voucher. Our average monthly expenditure was previously $2, 000. to $3, 000.
depending on work load and schedule. During peak work loads when car build up
or test and development program demanded expenses can run as high as 1, 000 -
1,200 dollars per week. Testing at local track for instance costs ran approximately
$1,500 for a five day period where, ambulance, guards, fireman, etc. , were added
to other expenses in car build up, rebuild and test operations.

Some typical expenses which must be taken care of are listed as follows:

Building Maintenance
Air Conditioning Repair
Plumber Service
Garage Door Repair
Electrical Repair
Yard Services

Office Supplies

Shop Repairs
Welder
Lath
Saws
Etc.
