consensus of the City Council at this time. Only changes from the City
nager's proposal for utilization of General Revenue Sharing funds are

mitted to the U. S. Treasury Department by June 20, 1973, it is suggested
that a plan for utilization of General Revenue Sharing funds be approved at
the City Council meeting on June 11, 1973. Any changes made by the City
Council in the attacked schedule or any other previously discussed projects
will be 'incorporated into a final General Revenue Scaring Budget and reported
to the U. S. Treasury Department as required.

It is recommended that the General. Revenue Sharing Budget as submitted t
the City Council on May 11, 1973, be approved, ~with revisions as desired
by the City Council.
