Trafficking funding up to $24,500 to purchase seven (7) laptops for prosecutors in the sex crimes

year just ended. Quarterly statistical reports shall be provided on the same schedule as the

III.  NON-AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS

of funds appropriated or allocated for the payment of such obligation. If funds are not allocated 
and available for the continuance of the Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated by the
