The Town of Carrboro <br /> and City School Board do not desire to participate. The Town <br /> of Chapel Hill accepted the offer on June 9, 1986. Recently <br /> received correspondence from the Village Companies earmarks I <br /> October 15, 1986 as the deadline for formal acceptance of the <br /> grant and January 15, 1987 as the final date for the deposit <br /> of matching funds into an escrow account. All grant funds <br /> must be expended by July 1, 1987. <br /> IMPACT: Matching grant funds were not allocated in the 1986-87 Budget <br /> for cablecasting. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S) : <br /> As the Board decides. If the Board decides to accept the <br /> offer, the Village Companies should be requested to extend the <br /> matching grant deadline to a date after July 1, 1987 to coin- <br /> cide with the 1986-87 fiscal year. <br />
