The <br />recommended funding plan for the 1998-99 fiscal year is $344,825. This amount is $6,453 more than <br />1997-98 grant amount of $338,372. The Home and Community Care Advisory Board reviewed the <br />plan on May 18, 1998. The Funding Plan is attached. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the 1998-99 Home <br />and Community Care Block Grant Funding Plan and authorize Chair to sign grant documents. <br />
