This <br /> coalition is fully funded through a contract with the University of North <br /> Carolina which has received a grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. <br /> The coalition agreed that the Health Department enter into sub-contracts <br /> with PHS and JOCCA to provide some of the services required for the <br /> project. <br /> The Board of Commissioners have previously approved sub-contracts with <br /> both PHS and JOCCA for the period ending 9/30/93 and 9/30/94. This <br /> agreement is for the period ending 9/30/95. The attached contracts were <br /> recently approved by the coalition following a revision of the statements <br /> of work in the contracts. <br /> The cost of these sub-contracts is covered fully by the W.R. Kellogg <br /> funds in the project grant ordinance budget. No county dollars are <br /> involved in these contracts. <br /> RECOMMENDATIONS) The Manager recommends that the contracts be <br /> approved and that the Chair be authorized to sign <br /> the contracts. <br /> BUCC95J895PHS.doc <br />
