Regular Council Meeting 2-17-97 Page 2 Finance: Mr. Brett said he handed out the 1997 Mayor's budget this evening. Because of the time it takes it to print, all the copies but one were missing $400,000 from the General Fund. (This is money for the golf course. Another $800,000 will come from the Municipal Center Fund; the remaining 3.5 will come from the Parkview Golf Course Fund in the form of the sale of notes. So, we are cutting a million dollars off the debt immediately.) The copies (of the budget) get out of date quickly. This is a rough draft of the budget. Mr. Brett said he continues to refine the budget even after it is passed. STANDING COMNIITTEE REPORTS: Activities Committee - Miss Heath said the Appreciation Dinner was held over the weekend.
