WHEREAS, it has been determined that the current Administrative Specialist Position could take over some of the day-to-day administrative functions; and

WHEREAS, the CCAB Director is supportive of this reorganization; and

WHEREAS, Project Sentry's operating costs have increased for a number of reasons including a increase in lease payments since their move and adding the full costs of county employees to their payroll since the loss of the grant programs; and
