The attached document provides those corrections and clarifications in bold, underlined, italics. County management and Financial Services will be conducting an orientation and overview session with interested Outside Agencies on Wednesday, December 15, at the Seymour Center in Chapel Hill, from 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM. The final BOCC document will be a part of the presentation to the Outside Agency representatives in attendance. Executive Directors have been updated on the development of this document and invited to the session on December 15. A public service announcement has also been issued to make the general public aware of the beginning of the FY11-12 grant application cycle.
