for purposes which are related to the promotion of tourism in Monroe County.
3. AMOUNT OF AGREEMENT AND PAYMENT. The Grantor shall provide
an amount not to exceed $64,908 for materials and services used to repair the

Council assume no liability to fund this agreement for an amount in excess of this

made through reimbursement to Grantee upon presentation of Application for
Payment Summary- AlA Document G702, invoices, canceled checks and other
documentation necessary to support a claim for reimbursement. Included in said
