Meridian, ID 83642
Dear Mayor Storey:
For the past several years, the Idaho Department of Parks &
Recreation has attempted to administer a grant to assist local
communities in providing activities for disadvantaged youth.
We were assisted by the State Department of Employment and
the grant was through Community Services Administration (CSA).
As you are probably aware, there were numerous audit exceptions
and basic problems with the grant, many of which are associated
with its late congressional appropriation each year. There
are several ways in which grant exceptions can be handled, but
through extensive review, the attached agreement seems to be
the least painful for all concerned. Would you please review
it and if it is acceptable to you, please sign all four copies,
keep one, and return the remaining three copies to our office
in the enclosed self-addressed, stamped envelope.
TA'e are aware nox of many of the problems caused by this grant
and hope that if it is available in the future, that it can
be appropriated early enough to be well organized and to pro-
vide enough time for the communities to make their purchases
within the project period.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
DALE R. CHRISTIANSEN
