brought forward by the Contractor. This three-month
extension will insure no interruption of legal service and
will enable Contractor to meet payroll and- other
administrative expenses for these services.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not authorized, the County will be out of.
compliance with Federal. law requiring provision of a legal.
assistance program for the County's elderly. Further,
development of another provider would prove more costly both
in time and funding.
