C. 27546 Dear Mr. Brock: The Civil Defense Office has been located in the same office space for several years. Each year the area has become more cramped and congested due to the increase of activities tied in with the agency. Anticipating the increased need for office space, the fiscal year budget 1973 -74 included additional funds for rent. The budget was approved by the State office and the local government, as presented. As a result of the budget being approved, we looked for more office space and now have an opportunity to secure a larger office adjacent to the present office. Presently the monthly rent is $35.00; the larger office rent will be $125.00. The State participates on a 50 -50 cost share basis. The total cost per year to the County will be $750.00, an increase of $540.00 per year. Therefore, in view of the approved budget and the availability of lar- ger office space, we ask that the Civil Defense office be allowed to move its headquarters as requested and that the action of the Board be effective on October 1, 1973.
