Which of the following is not an authorized APF expense for fitness expenses?

• A. Televisions
• B. DVD players
• C. Staff salaries
• D. CD players

Answer: (C)

Staff salaries are not considered an authorized APF (Appropriated Public Funds) expense for fitness expenses because APF funds are intended for operational costs directly related to the fitness programs or facilities, such as equipment and supplies. Salaries fall under personnel-related costs, which are typically funded through different budget lines or accounted for outside of APF allocations.

In contrast, televisions, DVD players, and CD players can be justified as authorized expenses because they can enhance the fitness experience, provide entertainment, or facilitate workout programs in fitness facilities. This makes them relevant to the overall goal of promoting physical fitness and wellness through the use of appropriate equipment.
