The following presentation summarizes the result of the workshops held with City Council. All changes made by Council were incorporated into the various budgets. These changes include: Compounding Merit $40,000 added for the Northside Housing Project $360,000 added for Bulk heading at the Golf Course $175,000 added for Sector 23 Street Paving In addition, $8,400 has been added to the Hotel/Motel Fund Proposed Budget for the Hotel/Motel Audits to be conducted by Muni Services. This service has identified $71,298 in additional revenues for the City. Due to the consolidation of the two divisions in this fund, the omission of this item was unnoticed when the proposed budget was submitted to Council. ~ Itj Itb Date The Bl~)re Sun 'i:~;,~y;lf Sen'illg Tlte B(lyshare Area Sf/Ice /947 chandise sdays r fess and are 'mify per week, RUOai 00A\'l F~'flt'll 'f'leIsedlltlj'tUldN fl~l'.IfhW!~s. .lnltoe meld ,ntrl'llC>ll /ll'.!rlli/J <lldll't rn/ll'li'q d l<,ro, !l!t ~11~~mSI1Hll'.rnillilbP.rytol'illlll~oI01tC~lil'9JOd roStW1.
