OLD BUSINESS
Budge Line Items – Oneata explained that Mrs. Torresen had a question on a line item
not matching, the $8,000 for Love Inc., and $70,000 for the summer program. She was
wondering if the $8,000 was for the YEP program and it was not. She further explained
the budget. The only change in budget from 2014 was money for the Engineering
budget for the paving but no programs had changed. The $78,000 is for Public Service.

accepted between June 1 and March 31, 2016 to apply for 2015 grant money. She
explained they have nine months to complete what they are working on now before they
can apply for 2015 money.
