Services have been expanded to Kate Barnard to deal with transitional elements for female offenders. Focus of the meeting was to discuss two key agency concerns provision of cognitive elements by subcontractors under the agreement and timely payment of subcontractors. The meeting resulted in revised billing process to speed payments to subcontractors and the agreement to include cognitive elements as billable under the contract. With these concerns addressed, we should be able to proceed under the inter-local agreement without having to pursue initiating a bid process. As a result of the change in priorities which limits the number of our programs that are in the priority areas actions were taken during the quarter toward insuring continuation of existing programs.
Program continues to function well.
Expenditures are on track and appropriate. The Talhequah portion of the program has made changes to improve that portion of the program. The program was in the final grant year of grant funding eligibility and was not part of our 2000 Grant Request. The approved extension of the current grant will provide some funds to carry this program unto the next fiscal year. Program is active with on-site literacy lab active during the visit.
