Mayor Lovestrand said the millege is approximately 30% of the city

Deputy Mayor Bundy said that everyone probably agree, but the City is
faced with increasing payroll, gasoline has gone up andh ifyou divide out

Deputy Mayor Bundy reminded that when you talk about Surplu, that the
Community Building is still m be completed and a Parks and Recreation
nsuk— has been hired, and know one knows. at this tine, what the
f na1 costs moil I be.
Mayor Lovestrand was still ofthe opinion that Commission should look to
gee how much it can lower the taxes every year, something should be
iven back to the atmetts.
Coinmissiener Anderson said S37 OM is not much when the Police and
Pita are asking Por snore personnel and the people are asking for services.
lie slid he thought the city has been doing a goodjab in holding the u�

Mayor Lovestrand believed that the City aould af7otd it .it while it may
