BACKGROUND: On May 14, 1996, the Board of Supervisors approved a report from the 1996 Internal Operations Committee dated May 6, 1996 which recommended that Advocates for Bird Conservation be approved for a grant in the amount of $10,000 for the 1995-96 fiscal year for the purposes outlined in their grant application which was attached to the Committee report. It had been the intent to approve the grant for an additional $10,000 for the 1996-97 fiscal year. Unfortunately, this recommendation was not included in the Committee's report. It is, therefore, recommended that the Board at this time clarify that it was intended that a second year grant be approved for the 1996-97 fiscal year. The funds are appropriated for this purpose, but the Auditor-Controller needs Board authorization to issue the funds since the Committee report did not include the second year of funding.

Our Committee met with Al McNabney and Laurella Desborough from Advocates for Bird Conservation on May 6, 1996, and reviewed their application with them.
