departments of the county. Ralph Waldo suggested that the county commissioners
require outside agencies that are partially funded by the county to submit a written
agreement to any audit before county monies are given to them. De Ann Emerson made
a motion stating that the County Council ask the County Commissioners to set a policy
with regard to auditing agencies receiving appropriations from the county; and that

before they receive the funding from the County Commissioners. Motion seconded by
