Commissioners,



Attached is the proposed agenda for our April 20th Budget and Audit 
Committee meeting.  As you can see, the majority of the agenda is devoted to 
stimulus funding discussion.  Since we now have guidance from the U.S. 
Department of Education and formal funding notification, we will be 
presenting an update on that information as well as the results of our 
evaluation of stimulus proposals at the April 20th meeting.



In addition to the agenda, please find the attached documents for your 
review prior to the meeting:



1.  Draft minutes from the March 2, 2009 Budget & Audit Committee meeting 
including a separate Attachment A (letter from Ohio Association of Goodwills 
referenced under Public Comment).



2.  An RSC VR Stimulus Overview, including project criteria.



3.  The VR ARRA Fact Sheet from the U.S. Department of Education (formatted 
in Word)



4.  An RSC IL Stimulus Overview, including project criteria.



5.  The IL ARRA Fact Sheet from the U.S. Department of Education



At the time of this mailing, we have not yet heard back from Brenda Curtiss 
of the Statewide Independent Living Council (SILC) regarding the project 
criteria for the Independent Living, Part B funding.  We will continue to 
follow-up with Brenda and provide additional information regarding IL Part B 
as it becomes available.



BVR and BSVI program staff are currently in the process of reviewing the 
submitted stimulus projects using the criteria established for the 
respective programs.  We plan to send out project summaries and the results 
of this assessment later in the week.  (Over 60 projects were submitted to 
the Governor's SharePoint site alone.)



Please let me (or Bev Jennings) know if you should have any questions 
regarding the attached materials.  I look forward to seeing you, both at the 
Solidarity Conference on Wednesday and at the Budget & Audit Committee 
meeting next Monday.
