50/50 for repair and major improvements, he felt that this could
be worked out.
Williams asked that with the General Fund figure of $88,000 and
the grant amount of $72,000.00, is it Council's intention to go
beyond the 50/50% split. Brown stated that the State takes its
ten percent off the top of the gross (which includes the federal
monies. The City pays five percent to the State. That is why
the City's share is higher than the State grant.

for the renovation of the Forest Drive Park. Monfor stated that
she agrees with Smalley 100%. The City should clean up with what
it has before something new is started. _

does and leave it alone. Williams agreed. There is a tremendous
liability to the City when it does work in there. Smalley stated
that this will put the Church in the position that they will have
to do something. Other people will be without road service. It
should be explained to the Bishop about the potential liability
to the City.
Walker stated that he tends to agree, however, those people are
entitled to fire service. If the road is not kept open, the fire
service may be hampered. Williams stated that adds fuel to the
discussion that something has to be done. Something official
needs to be done to make it legal.
