non jurisdictional complaints, $147,000 for the resolution of 294 charges of employment discrimination,
and $1,000 for partial reimbursement for training expenses. The total contract award was $156,400
Additional funds in the amotant of $29,000 have been made available for partial reimbursement of costs
associated with the resolution of 58 additional charges of employment discrimination bringing the total
contract award to $185,400
