4.18 Mr . Jenks highlighted the recommendations that were made in the Water Quality Management Program and stated he felt in his own mind , based upon 25 years of experience with grant programs , that in spite of all the uncertainties the City would find itself infinitely farther along the line and better off and would have a much better chance of getting grants if the City go ahead with the planning and project reports and he encouraged the City to push ahead in as normal and calculated way as possible . No conclusions were reached , however , it was noted that basically the serious problems would have to be solved by the entire community and it would be very difficult to establish goals and objectives and attempt to achieve them in a sensible manner when the State and Federal Government would be setting the primary objectives without taking the individual local government ' s problems into consideration .
