program in detail; this is the bare minimum that must be accomplished

- area Materials $10*4329 of which $7,620 must be purchased - bal-
ance is on hand; Labor $22,305 - City Crews can do the work. KCL
is under -manned and this would be a tight schedule, but contracting
the jobs would be more expensive, and it may be hard to meet contract
payments.

started on Phase I for KCL project and borrow%as much money as pos-
sible to get started on the program as outlined by Steige. Motion
