A <br />contract with TROSA for these services will be presented to the BOCC at the March 4, 1997 meeting. <br />The third component, program evaluation, is a requirement of the grant award.

Staff <br />is currently pursuing options with UNC for evaluation services. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board accept the grant award and <br />authorize the chair to sign. <br />
