WL '1p BOOK 6` Chairman Scurlock informed the Board that we have received $286,000 based on Public Works Director Davis' diligent efforts to pursue a grant, and there was only about one million available in the whole state for that grant. He felt Director Davis is to be commended. REPORT ON AUDIT NEGOTIATIONS Chairman Scurlock reported that Attorney Vitunac will be receiving the documents discussed yesterday in negotiation with Coopers Lybrand, the number one selection in the short list for auditors. The first year of the contract would be at $80,000 with them providing 40 hours of consulting services in addition to their scope of services at no cost; the second year increases to $85,000, and the third year to $90,000.
