To receive the grant, the County must sign the attached Subgrant Agreement and provide certification of matching funds. This must be accomplished by April 15, 1995. The revised project budget (copy attached) totals $12,385, including $5,000 in grant funds,$7,385 in County matching funds ($4,515 appropriation requested in FY 1995-96 budget), and$2,870 in-kind services. An experienced and reputable architectural historian/writer will be sought to conduct the work. RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends that the County Manager be authorized to sign the Subgrant Agreement and provide certification of matching funds.
