" Counci! Minutes of 4/2/Z002 Ordinance Nos. 2002-41 and 42. He hopes that the committee minutes will reflect his comments. Also, Council Rule 49 indicates that such ordinances are to be referred to the committee on legislation. Since there is no specific standing committee on legislation, it seems appropriate to assign the legislation to the Safety Committee. (President O'Grady suggested that the Infra-Governmental Relations and Legislation; Long-Range Planning Committee might be appropriate for the legislation, and Mr. Dubelko agreed.) Finance Director Copfer: 1) The February expenditure and encumbrance and revenue reports were distributed to Council, the Mayor and directors on March 27. The appropriations were not included in that report as they were not passed by Council until that evening. However, they were subsequently e7rtered so that they will be ready for the next report. If anyone wants an amended copy of February, let her know. 2) Since alI the necessary cash basis closing and GAP accntal work was complete, the auditors, who were originally scheduled to begin field work April 8, armed if they could begin field work on March 18. This happily puts us three weeks ahead of schedule on completing the audit and hopefully issuing the financial statements. 3) Tomorrow, April 3, she and the Assistant Finance Director will be attending the required annual public funds investmem program that is sponsored by the State Treasurer's office.

The city shall receive $500 on the signing of the contract, and the agreement shall last for five years. The rent will be $600 per month. Sprintcom will be located at the 120 foot level on the pole.
