The estimated amounts will be adjusted to the actual allocation as needed before fiscal year end. These are Federal and State funds that require 10.53% match funding which is met through the County General Fund contribution of $35,000 ongoing and plus $26,000 in 2023/24, as well as donations and fundraisers.
Background Information:
