Mr. Sessler reported that the County' s applications to the San
Francisco Foundation and Kaiser Foundation have been rejected.
There is still an application pending with the Koret Foundation.
If this last application is unsuccessful, efforts will be made to
explore other foundations as possible funding sources .
Our Committee remains hopeful that the Senior Tax Work-Off Program
will be able to be operational before the end of the calendar year.
We are asking that the County Administrator's Office made a further
status report to our Committee in September, following which we
will make a further report to the Board of Supervisors .
