Ms. Schindel: Thank you. The first one is in terms of…it is actually number two for the CDBG Grant.  Through your blessing we can receive a Two Hundred Thousand Dollar ($200,000.00) grant.  Please note that Section One where is says Two Hundred Thousand ($200,000.00) the dollar amount is Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00) on my copy and we want to make sure that it is Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00).  We want the ability to receive Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00) that must be used this year in the CDBG calendar; which is September 30^th.  And for it to be used for the Miracle League of Lake County, so I am just asking formal permission to receive this grant and to use it for the Miracle League as CDBG will allow us to do so.  The second piece which is number three and it is the reaffirmation of Urban Entitlement Community Development Block Grant Program.  Basically what happens is the Columbus office of HUD has asked the Lake County Commissioners to…in order to retain its urban status to re-qualify the cities must send this letter in.  This is our letter saying “Yes we want Lake County to re-qualify as an urban county.  The third piece is number five and it is merely adding the ambulance under the 410 fund.  It is adding the ambulance as expenditure.  Because when we did the original budget we were not intending at that point in time to purchase an ambulance.  Now that I have permission to purchase the ambulance I need to adjust the budget to spend the money to get the ambulance.  That’s what that is and the second piece for the Recreation and Land Acquisition that is to pay the Block Grant money that should we accept the CDBG money.  I now need permission to spend, because we didn’t anticipate that grant.  There isn’t Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00) in there to spend; without receiving it in and expending it in the budget to reflect to do so.

There were no further questions or comments.

The meeting was adjourned at 7: 15 p.m.
