Linn Social Services seeks clear LIFTS funding role
The Linn Board of Social Services demands a defined line of authority with the county Board of Supervisors over LIFTS funding and operations. A chart outlining responsibilities may remove LIFTS from the Social Services budget, while a board member's proposal suggests including a Social Services representative on the LIFTS advisory board. The panel also approved a $3,964 summer day care program grant and plans to invite Arthur Anderson to discuss reimbursement for services at Linn Shelter Care Facility.
