°2` <br /> I have not encountered many demonstration grant proposals that seem to require <br /> as heavy a local financial commitment as this and have no real feeling about how <br /> negotiable some of these funding arrangements are. Unfortunately, I was not able <br /> to reach the project director to review my concerns today and had to discuss them <br /> with his assistant. He seemed to feel these concepts in principal would not be <br /> changed a great deal . <br /> I would sugge t that we explore the grant proposal further even tentatively <br /> committing ourseIv s to proceed if selected. In the meantime, we can more definitely <br /> determine the funding pattern for this grant and attempt to renegotiate some items. <br /> It seems to me the state is requiring an unusually heavy financial commitment for <br /> a demonstration pr ject and further that we have something to sell . <br /> If you desire to proceed, the staff can prepare and file the information <br /> required by the st to and immediately get to work on the funding problem. prior to <br /> making any commitment, we will report back to the Board. <br /> The state is equiring some response from the county by the 19th. <br />
