I talked to um...Commissioner Adams this morning and he gave me a brief explanation as to what the changes are in this Ordinance that he’s asking the...an amendment on. And uh, the first...the first part is the unappropriated balance for the Air Pollution Fund which is used to upgrade several air monitors that they use to measure compliance with national air quality standards. The original amount of the Ordinance was insufficient to cove the cost of new (Inaudible) monitors so they came up with uh...fund...the funds originally came from a contract that they had with the Ohio P...EPA. Um, and they’re asking to increase that...that amount. Second piece, or request is to ensure that they’re able to adequately spend the necessary grant dollars for the Women’s, Infant & Children’s Program...WIC Program. Uh, so they’re asking for additional monies that they have available for that. So that’s what the increases are for. MEMBER MORRIS: Thank you, sir. PRESIDENT SHERER: Are there any additional remarks?
