He is requesting authorization for a letter from the Chairman supporting an <br />application for grant funds from the State's tobacco settlement to be used for a local program <br />to discourage smoking by minors. <br />Colette Hyde of the Substance Abuse Council announced that the tobacco suit had <br />been settled last year and provision was made for funds to go for education of youth in each <br />county for prevention of the use of tobacco. It is necessary to form a tobacco -free <br />partnership and one of their requirements is to obtain letters of support from all involved <br />entities. <br />Commissioner Eggert understood there is an injunction against distribution of the <br />money, and Ms. Hyde stated that 2.2 million has been released to date. The state will have <br />to go back before the judge for each specific program but these funds are ready for release <br />on March 1'. <br />FEBRUARY 10, 1998 <br />-56- <br />
