ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS
GRANT AWARD YOR DRUG CONTROL AND SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT AND BUDGET
AMENDMENT #29 -AS Mr. Mashburn said the Sheriff's Department came
to the commissioners and requested approval to submit this grant
(2/7/95). The department has now been awarded this grant and the
board of county commissioners has to accept the grant and authorize
