Discussion followed concerning the desire of Council members for a paramedic program, the high cost of support equipment which would be needed for paramedics; the need for an organized program which would include continuous training and equipment; the desirability of having several adjacent cities join together to set up the paramedic program in order that the costs will not be prohibitive, and the probability that when a coordinated program is available that the matter would come to Coun- cil by way of the Police Chief or the Fire Chief. Councilman Henderson requested that the record show that while there was no response to the requests from PROBE for additional funds at this time, that the Council has been very supportive of the activities of that organi- zation, and the appropriation already made addresses itself to the City ' s responsibilities with regard to PROBE services. Comment was made concerning the possible imposition of an admission tax, the fact that there is only one major source of such a tax within the City; the possible in- hibition of success and growth of that operation if admission fees are increased; the necessity of employing additional persons to be responsible for administration of the admission tax; and the undesirability of estab- lishing such a tax at this time . Mayor Weymouth invited anyone present who had not spoken 1 and wished to do so to come forward. No one in the audience wished to speak .
