He recommended changing the word "may" to "shall" on page one under provision A.1, and deleting the noncompliance provisions on pages five and nine. Mr. Barker stated he was directed to speak with the Attorney General's Office regarding the proposed changes to the noncompliance provisions; however, he recommends signing the contract and releasing authority so this will not have to come back before the Board once final changes are made. In response to Commissioner Baxter, Mr. Barker stated it will be faster if the changes are made first and then sent to the State. He further stated he received a letter from the state explaining the funding will be available regardless of how long it takes to finalize the paperwork. Responding to Commissioner Hall, Mr. Barker explained the State may not agree with the change to provision A.1; however, the two provisions regarding non-compliance should be acceptable. Mr. Warden stated the County might have to leave the word "may" in A.1 because some counties were having too much money advanced and then investing it to earn interest; therefore, the Minutes, July 6, 1998 981169 Page 2 BC0016 State is trying to prevent any further occurrences.
