The Board reviewed Agreements, Contracts and Reports. Commissioner
Thomas asked if board action item #1, Children and Youth amendment report is at our
expense. Carrie Gray, County Administrator, responded that no county funds are
necessary since it's state reimbursable. Nick Riccione, Children & Youth Fiscal Officer,
was present and explained further that this is protecting Franklin County. She said if
down the road there is an audit by the Auditor General, we can get more expenses
reimbursed by the state. If we go with current allocation we would be capped. We want
the higher allocation to roll over into future years and not drop down. The following item
was approved today while the remaining items will be approved Thursday, March 9,
