I I � I I .. i I i I I I { I I 1 K, CITY MANAGER'S REPORT 0189 Page 'Three 14. Legal The City Attorney is now preparing a "lei;al position" paper relative to the BLM land abutting the City Dock as to what are the criteria for our maintaining "control" over the BLM land. As soon as this posibion paper is prepared, an applicants for that land, as well as the Harbor Commission, will be notified and suggested that new applications be re -submitted for consideration by the Harbor Commission to insure compliance with the BLM requirements. Hopefully, we will have a lease for that land and dock in the very near future. 15. You will note within the budget that we are proposing that the Airport funds be consolidated into a single revenue fund on enterprise basis. This will permit pooling of all receipts and direct utilization of accumulated funds for the various airport activities. Don Wilcox from the FAA will be in my office this morning and we will discuss the detailed ramifications of how to implement such a program which we understand has basically improved in concept by the FAA. Hopefully, we will have an ordinance prepared for the next regular Council session. 16. Recently the Borough published a new instruction relative to sales tax. On review of this document it was noted that the Borough changed the language to provide a maximum penalty of $300 whereas the language of the ordinance in fact called for a minimum penalty of $300. We brought this to the attention of the Borough and we have been informed by telephone by the Borough Finance Director that they are in orivr and they will be correcting the language and enforcing the ordinance as written. 17. This item is, of course, the long-awaited 1977-78 Budget. Hopefully, this will be an adequate document and meet the needs of the City for the up -coming year.
