Title
Health and Human Services Agency, Social Services Division, recommending the Board adopt Resolution 030-2012 to amend Resolution 299-91, thereby increasing the Social Services Division imprest cash fund balance from Fifty Dollars ($50.00) to One Hundred Dollars ($100.00).
FUNDING: General Fund.
