Amendment A-2 increased the Counseling and Testing section of the Agreement by $37,000 and was approved by your Board on August 20, 2002. The case management section of the agreement was decreased by $26,412 and additional funds in the amount of $4,940 for implementation of the Evaluating Local Interventions information system were included in Amendment A-3 and approved by your Board on October 22, 2002. |
