request for additional funding.
it was moved by Vice Chairman Hunt, seconded by Commissioner Neils, to direct
staff 1) to research this application with other State agencies to determine the
availability of funds from some other source to help these particular citizens,

to proceed with this request on the basis that we will receive this much in addition
to our normal grant, and 3) to prepare a policy resolution, to be reviewed at the

Rehabilitation Program versus this type of request and an amendment to the present
