City Manager gave assurance that all concerned would have an opportunity to review and participate. Responding to suggestion that preliminary budget should be more easily available for anyone interested, City Manager advised that experience had shown limited number of copies insure better control, and that there had been occurrences, even with restricted quantity of copies, of a Commission or Department working out of a preliminary budget which was no longer valid.

Presentation by Jeff Nagel, McKinley School, Eighth Grade Class project on "Newspaper Salvage Plan" Jeff Nagel, 2458 Massachusetts Avenue, described the two -fold benefits that would derive from the proposal to salvage old newspapers for recycling. The first would be conservation of natural resources. He advised that reprocessing of 2,000 tons of newspapers would produce 1800 tons of fresh newsprint, and the same amount would require 3100 trees, presently the main source of paper. The second benefit would be ecology and cited the recent 4 -week drive in San Francisco which resulted in 2,000 tons less refuse in the dump. He noted the ordinance against back yard burning but suggested this is violated to keep garbage to a minimum. His Class would like Council to use its knowledge to support the program. He advised the recycling plant must have a guarantee of 300 tons daily of newsprint. He noted the scavengers in San Francisco had made collection at no charge and thought the local scavengers could be asked to do the same. Other suggestions were asking help in collection from the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, and contacting the local newspaper companies for assistance. He expressed thanks to each of the Councilmen for the opportunity to appear.
