After consideration Commissioner Neuberger <br />WITHDREW his motion. <br /> <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Neuberger, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Lowther, to table this item <br />for seven days to allow G.R.O.W., Inc. time to provide <br />additional information to the Budget Manager and for staff <br />to come back with a dollar amount at the November 16, <br />2004 meeting. (This motion was revised and then <br />reconsidered later in the meeting.) <br /> <br />Discussion ensued and Director Brown clarified that any expenses received after the <br />closing of the 2003/2004 books cannot be paid with that year’s funds. <br /> <br />Commissioner Macht disagreed allowing any payment. He explained that this is <br />part of a huge granting program. The Management and Budget staff has meticulously explained <br />the rules of expenditures, the rules of use, and the rules of reimbursement to the agencies and if <br />they start changing the rules that structure falls down and instead of having a grant program, they <br />have a meleé. In addition, he said Ms. Reason does not have the ability to misappropriate funds. <br /> <br />The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion <br />carried 3-2. Chairman Ginn and Commissioner Macht <br />opposed. The Board approved allowing G.R.O.W., Inc. <br />two days to provide additional information. (This motion <br />was reconsidered later in the meeting.) <br /> <br /> November 9, 2004 <br />22 <br /> <br />
