This amount has been included in the department's budget request for fiscal year <br />2003-2004. There is no change in this amount. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the agreement <br />subject to the approval of the 2003-2004 budget and authorize the Chair to sign. <br />
