Received notice from Mireya stating that finance department requires additional detail on 'taxes, licensing, and fees' that were listed on the budget, before funds can actually be sent. Ron Vernetti will contact Father John and Ofelia to get the necessary details.

<25-Mar-08> by Brennan Pate
Talked to Ofelia about the tax and licensing issue. She said that the rate would be 10% ($2,750) on the vehicle purchase cost and the remainder ($186)for the licensing fees.
