Biggs - The volunteers and the coordinator must be certified and because trained volunteers will be helping complete people's taxes, there are checks and balances that need to be in place to ensure accuracy. The program will need approximately 10-12 volunteers, although not certain of that number. Motion to accept staff recommendations, M/S Nielson, Villareal and unanimous. 3-C.
