## Discussion

- **Explanation for two bills for the car**
  - **Summary:** Discussion regarding why there were two bills for the car, related to needing four new tires and a tire sensor because the line item was short of over $100, necessitating taking funds from travel to avoid waiting until April or May.
  - **Evidence:** “Do we have an explanation for why there are two bills for the car? So we had to get four new tires and a tire sensor. It was recommended because I was just short of over $100 on that line item to take the rest out of travel because we're going to need to take the car to Bloomington the end of March, and I didn't want to wait and risk that until April or until May, until the next fiscal year. So she suggested taking it out that way.”
