DISCUSSION FOLLOWED REGARDING VOLUNTEERS, AND MR. PERRY POINTED OUT THAT THEY HAVE TWO CPAs ON THEIR BOARD, WHO CAN BE HELPFUL WITH THE ACCOUNTING PROCEDURES. CHAIRMAN WODTKE NOTED THE APPLICATION REFERRED TO LOCAL HARD CASH BEING CONTRIBUTED, AND DISCUSSION ENSUED REGARDING IN-KIND CON- TRIBUTIONS. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THAT WE MUST DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THE COMMUNITY WANTS THIS PROGRAM; AND WHILE THE MATCH IS SMALL, IT IS GOING TO COST US MORE TO DO THE AUDIT. HE AFFIRMED THAT IF THE m COMMUNITY WILL SUPPORT IT TO THE LOCAL MATCH, THEN HE WOULD BE WILLING TO DO THE AUDIT AND LOOK AT IT NEXT YEAR. COMMISSIONER Loy COMMENTED THAT THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF PAPER WORK WE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR, SUCH AS THE REPORTS AND THE AUDITS, AND WE DON T HAVE THE TIME FOR THIS. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT CAUTIONED THAT SOME PROGRAMS TEND TO GET OVERLY AMBITIOUS. COMMISSIONER LYONS FELT THE BOARD OUGHT TO GIVE THEM THE SEED MONEY TO GET THEIR PROGRAM LAUNCHED. MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER Loy, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER SIEBERT, THAT THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS SERVE AS THE SPONSOR FOR THE SUBGRANT OF LEAA FUNDS FOR A PROJECT KNOWN AS "HELP FOR BATTERED HOMES" AND THAT THE CHAIRMAN AND -THE FINANCE OFFICER BE AUTHORIZED TO SIGN ALL NECESSARY PAPERS, AND THAT WE ADOPT RESOLUTION N0. 79-64, SUBJECT TO REVIEW BY OUR ATTORNEY. DISCUSSION FOLLOWED ON VARIOUS ASPECTS OF THE RESOLUTION, PARTICULARLY ITEMS 3 AND 4. ATTORNEY BROWN STATED HE WOULD INTERPRET THAT THE MINIMUM CONTRIBUTION MUST BE IN CASH, BUT ANYTHING IN ADDITION CAN BE IN FUNDS AND IN-KIND, IF THE COUNTY WANTED TO GO BEYOND THAT. HE FELT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THAT.
