In his report, the City Manager stated that before a contract can be :warded sufficient funds must be available to equal the total contract price. Mr. Rolison feels that since there is some uncertainty as to the amount of funds that may become available, that it would be improper to award a contract on this basis. He recommended, if legally possible and the Council should so desire, that a transfer be made from the Unallocated Capital Account for the $4,787.251 with the understanding that reimbursement be made at the end Df the budget year to the extent of any savings made by the Library, plus any additional revenues from delinquent taxes that may be available* Councilman Herkner objected to the suggestion that the Capital Fund be reimbursed from any saving from the Library Fund during the year. He feels that this amount should be deducted from the budget this year and at the end of the year reimburse the Library Fund. Councilman Granger was of the opinion that the Library Board should submit a revised budget for Council consideration. He feels that in this way there will be more justification for the spending of the Capital Fund. This was followed by discussion.

Councilman Granger asked that the Library Board make another recommendation in regard to the Library budget. City Attorney Costello stated that he would work with the City Manager and the Library Board on this matter and report back next week.
