Issue: Accounts 801-3001-6022-8 and 801-3004-6022-8 are Professional Services for Laboratory Services completed by the company vendor Pollution Control Services in San Antonio, Texas. These expenses include the cost for freight of the samples to the lab in San Antonio, Texas at least twice per week. Staff is currently working on having these samples delivered and tested at a City of Laredo Laboratory in the future which could eliminate the high cost of freight delivery. Current freight costs for delivery is approximately $19,000. We are also examining the ability for one of our employees to drive the samples to San Antonio twice per weak to eliminate the freight cost.

Solution: Approve transfer to make funds available for issuing of Purchase Orders.

Result: Department will have funds to pay items and projects needed.
