COUNTY MANAGER'S REPORT <br />County Manager John Link distributed an updated map of the Southern Human Services Center site <br />plan, as he believes this may be helpful to the Board when discussing InterFaith Council's potential <br />inclusion of the Homestead site in their future plans.

The map is incorporated <br />into these minutes by reference. Purchasing Director Jones will provide a copy to Commissioner Brown.
