Like previous years, we have prepared a proposal requesting the <br />continuation of the program for the federal fiscal year October 1, 2008 to September <br />30, 2009. The proposal needs Cass County Commission support. The Cass County <br />Extension Service proposal is combined with proposals from other North Dakota <br />counties. The combined proposal will be forwarded to the Food and Nutrition <br />Services (FNS) branch of the USDA by July 1, 2008 for consideration. The County <br />Support Agreement is attached to this request for your review. <br /> <br />The success of this program depends on a close working relationship with staff and <br />clients of several local agencies. Michelle Strang and Doreen McFarland are the <br />Cass County Extension Service staff members with job responsibilities for this <br />program. <br /> <br />This year's proposal commits primarily in-kind resources from Cass County and <br />Fargo Public Schools. The only cash resources committed from Cass County are a <br />phone line, copying of program materials and expendable office supplies. These <br />resources are identified on the County Support Agreement. <br /> <br />If you have question about this, I'll be happy to visit with you. <br /> <br />Suggested motion is: <br /> <br />Move that the Cass County Commission support the Family Nutrition Program <br />county proposal for continuation of the program from October 1, 2008 to September 30, <br />2009, pending proposal acceptance by State and Federal partners. <br /> <br />O\SS CDUNIY <br />GOVERNMENT <br />... <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />County Commissions, North Dakota State University and U.s.
