BUT THE chances of that decision being are not hopeful, according to Commissioner Glen Flint. Apparently all funding will be determined by unemployment figures, he said. Mr. Oakey told commissioners that no counties or cities will be funded whose unemployment figure is below the state unemployment figure. The state unemployment rate is 5.5.

McINTOSH said that the public safety complex would have a high priority since it includes offices from county, state and federal jurisdictions. County commissioners plan to write to their congressmen to see if any action can be taken at a federal level. He said the deadline for appeal may be June 24, but he understood that 28 days may be allowed from the date that the grants were announced on June 10. support for the new program.
