Council Minutes of 12/6/94 wording that, on a cumulative basis, if the RTA cuts hit 5 %, then they must recalculate how much money is to be pool to NOMBL based on what cuts NOMBL can itthiate. This will protect NOMBL and pubfic transportation to the western suburbs. 3) With regazd to the audit, it became cleaz recently that the major problem is communication. The reconciliation of the Ernst and Your papers is being done in-house because it is cost efficient to do so. Althot~ the State's MAS Department knew about this, they failed to tell the auditors. This caused the Attorney General's departt to contact the city for f#ilure to do the work. Last week the Mayor received letters from three different State departments why the city hadn't done things that were ao~1' being done. The Mayor has contacted State Auditor Ferguson and State Audhor-elect Petro to suggest that one Berson ffi the Audhor's office be p~ceci m charge and that all communication be funneled througl- this person who will then dissaate the information to all parties involved. 4) Springvale Golf Course has been a city installation for one month and has earned $60,000 net after expenses of rn $30,000.
