In reviewing the minutes of 16 April 1969, I noticed that a notation or
summary of my comments on the change in interest rates was ommitted.
I recall having stated that the need to sell bonds would exist if only for
the water bonds.
I
The council did not discuss whether or not it would be possible to sell i
bonds with our existing limitation. I
