of two sanitation vehicles which would probably be enough, but he
asked the Council to consider setting aside an additional $10,000
to $15,000 in r-evenue sharing its case it is needed.
Mr. Tom Kimball stated that when the refuse service was initiated,
it was stated tYiat the service would be self-sustaining or it would
be discontinued. Mrs t~ebb said that was correct and was something
the City Manager would not have been aware of. Mr. Hynum stated
that the request was not a necessity, but merely a back-up, and he
would withdraw the request.
Mr. Hynum suggested that the funds not specifically allocated at
this time be ear-marked for capital outlay.
Motion was made by James Smalley, seconded by Von Stockier, to
accent the Revenue Sharing outlays as proposed in the total amount
of $212,834.78 with the remaining balance of $39,616.85 being
placed in a capital outlay fund.

for total rehabilitation of specific city areas that fit certain
requirements. He asked that the Council consider the possibility
of filing an application for such a project. He said the City
would be responsible for about 30% of the total cost.
Mr-s. Webb asked that this item be placed on the next agenda.

painting. He asked for Council approval and Mrs. Webb said it
would be approved when it appears on the warrant list.

warrant lists on each agenda. Mr. Hynum said it could be done,
but would cause some additional work. Mr. Kimball said the
present procedure is working better than it had in many years,
and as long as the vendor understands the procedure, it works
well for all concerned.
