And I must thank the board, Mr. Olliff and his staff, the County Attorney's Office, the IT Department, the Human Resources Department, for pulling together -- never have I seen the wheels of government move this fast, and everybody pulled together on a very important thing that I believe -- and I certainly appreciate that from everybody's perspective.

If I can answer any questions. COMMISSIONER MAC'KIE-' Have we already approved the grant application, or is this something new for our knowledge? MR. DRURY: This is new for your knowledge. You have allocated our 11.5 percent match for the two other grants, but you had not approved this grant.

DRURY: No, you have already allocated the 195 in current year fiscal budget. What we did is we went out and got another grant to make that money go further. VICE-CHAIRMAN CARTER: Sounds good to me.
