The Manager is finalizing a <br />contract with Johnston, Zabor and Associates, which the County Attorney <br />will review and the Chair will sign. The cost for the firm's services <br />is $9,850, which can be covered through an appropriation from fund <br />balance of the School Capital Reserve Fund. Mr. Johnston will be <br />present at the meeting to respond to any questions the Board may have <br />about the survey instrument. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board receive <br />the report as information. <br />
