Board discussion and Activity –
Toby Borders explained that the funds for a web site contract would be part of the administrative funds that are reserved at the fiscal agent level, and not taking away from the current allocations for programming at the local level.
Melinda Crall suggested that a 1 year contract be requested due the on-going concerns about the future of WIOA funding.
