a. see reports. Amy (the accountant) is working on our financials. All things considered, FYA had another good month – there were three payrolls in March so cash flow out looked bigger. KCC is doing good. Another provider, even part-time, would be nice and its needed.
7. ED Report – YIS grant – OCS has the YIS grant as their plan to help with costs at the door. Brian is working on the submittal. Should submit by May 1st or 2nd. Would be another $120K per year to the Door from the SOA to help offset costs. OCS award decision expected in late May.

Good news…the solar panels are producing net positive electricity – saving FYA $$.
