EDA is <br />presently in the process of reviewing the County's grant <br />application. On July 7, 1986, a staff member from EDA's Atlanta <br />office contacted the Planning Department and suggested that the <br />application be amended to designate the Planning and Development <br />Division as the applicant rather than the Board of County <br />Commissioners. The reason given for this change bis due to the <br />fact that the Planning and Development Division will be working <br />directly with EDA and is responsible for the work on the proposed <br />project. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Based on the above conditions, staff recommends that the Planning <br />and Development Division be designated as the applicant for the <br />technical assistance funds from the Economic Development <br />Administration for the Commercial and Industrial Development <br />Guide. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Lyons, the Board unanimously adopted <br />Resolution 86 -43 -declaring the County Planning and <br />Development Division as the applicant for the technical <br />assistance funds from the Economic Development <br />Administration for the Commercial and Industrial <br />Development Guide. <br />10 <br />
