I am sure the department heads would be very frugal if they got to keep the money like we do when building homes.

They act like a non-profit... so using a profit-driven model as a comparison isn't really accurate.
I'm just saying at the end of the year, they could order say $25000, worth of lumber for a project to help make the budget higher for next year.
