personal property assessments. Councilman Bonner stated for
the record regarding the Recreation Building which was brought
up from the audience, "this had been presented to the Council
at a regular meeting and plans brought in for review. The
Council had unanimously agreed for the land at Plant Drive

Mayor Jewett stated that the Capital Improvement Fund presently
established in the 69 -70 Budget would remain as such if at all
possible. Previously there was no capital improvement fund
set up in budgets.

a 6% salary increase, plus longevity as the employees were a
valuable asset and the City couldn't do anything without our
good group of employees. Police department would be improved

the increase for the Fire Department would lower the fire
rating for the City with the better facilities.
