So Haines is receiving $4 million from the federal CARES Act for COVID-19 relief program. Per my understanding, this money is to be used exclusively for necessary expenditures incurred due to the COVID-19 situation.

How does buying a new ambulance fall under this category when we already own two?

How does a decontamination trailer also fall under this category? A shower doesn’t prevent you from getting COVID-19 after being exposed.

There are more important ways to use this money such as helping the people of Haines.
