Bill Summary After
an initial deferral, C/M Brown arrived to address the bill and the deferral
was reconsidered. He had recently received
a copy of the requested budget, although most in attendance had not yet seen
it and the Council’s auditors had not had a chance to review it. C/M Brown noted that no one had contacted
him with questions concerning the bill since discussion at a prior committee
meeting. Discussion included City,
in-kind, and private funding, and how funding/reimbursement from the City has
been handled in previous years.
Committee members wanted time to review the budget, and the bill was
deferred. DEFER |
