gave a hand-out outlining the goals of the CDC and SBCS.

J. Casillas expressed concern that the CDC incorporate as
soon as possible and not remain an "arm" of SBCS. D. Marcus
responded that for practical reasons (ie. staff support) and
the ability to apply for funds from various non-profits,
government agencies, etc., it was more beneficial at this
time to remain under the umbrella of sacs.

K. Kearney requested D. Marcus look into potential tax
credits available to employers who employ the residents of
