Letter from State Librarian re California Library <br /> Authority for Systems and Services (CLASS) <br /> There being no objection, Mayor Weymouth ordered <br /> the subject letter referred to the Library Board <br /> and to staff for review and recommendation. <br /> (Memo 8/11/75) <br /> 2 . Letter from The Salvation Army requesting reconsid- <br /> eration of request for Revenue Sharing Funds <br /> Mayor Weymouth advised that in discussing the sub- <br /> ject with Lt . Moses Reyes of The Salvation Army, <br /> he had explained that the Council had decided not <br /> to take on any new projects with Revenue Sharing <br /> Funds because the Revenue Sharing Program is <br /> scheduled to terminate in 1976, and there is much <br /> uncertainty as to whether it will be continued . <br /> Lt. Moses Reyes, The Salvation Army, inquired as <br /> to how his one-year-old program might receive <br /> funds, if funds were denied because none had been <br /> designated for the program in the past. <br /> Assistant City Manager Smith explained that Revenue <br /> Sharing was a five-year program, and the Council is <br /> concerned about making commitments with an uncertain <br /> revenue source as well as about how the funds are <br /> used . Mr . Smith advised that Council has under- <br /> taken a survey to provide the rationale behind re- <br /> source allocations for the future . <br /> Council discussion followed, and it was pointed out <br /> that allocation of Revenue Sharing Funds was made <br /> during 1975-76 Budget sessions, but that it was <br /> believed that it would be both foolish and cruel <br /> to commence new programs at this time where there <br /> is no indication that the needed funding will be <br /> available . Council members commented on their <br /> hope that the Revenue Sharing Program will be <br /> extended <br /> -8- <br /> Reg.Mtg. <br /> 8/11/75 <br />
