helper for up to 40 hours per week paid by a Federal grant. Our

FY '93 Budgets
Due to the fact that the budget exemption approval had not been
received until today, the Fee Accountant did not have a base to
establish the FY '93 budget, although projections for this budget
are complete. The Board will have the budgets for their August 3rc
meeting.
Linkage Program - Greenhouse Acres / Fafard
The Board is in receipt of a letter from James E. McLoughlin,
Director of Engineering for Fafard Companies, which requests that
the Board consider taking a cash contribution for the remainder
of the units associated with the linkage for this development.
Mr. McLoughlin briefly outlined the types of programs that such
monies could be used for, but gave no specifics as to amounts,
number of clients that could be served, for what period, etc.
The Board requested that the Executive Director forward a letter
to Fafard stating that the Board is not in favor of a cash contribi
at this time. As previously requested, Fafard should approach
the Zoning Board of Appeals to be sure that they would allow such
a petition. The Board also requested that any future proposals
be forwarded to them in time for them to review before they are
scheduled on an agenda. Fafard should work closely with the Execut
Director on what proposals would be acceptable to the Board.
There being no further business before the Board, it was unanimous]
voted to adjourn at 8:30 P.M. The next meeting of the Board will
be held on Monday, August 3, 1992.
