the cases of the low income ~nits at Westpark, the So~h Cou~t Apartments
end Bremerton Gardens and that the ordinance could be changed so that South

of this exception.

tion may be necessary.

said he did not but was trying to ta~e care of the finances oI' their member-
ship.
~ayor Kean explained the financial outlook and said that most depart-
ments have been advised to recognize present inequa£ities.end to continue
all other salaries at the present scale and then the council will check
against the expenditures and r eceipts and if there is any increase it will
be general or any decrease will be general. Also, saic it might be nec-
essary to get along with a decrease in the number oI' employees and the City
needed more money to meet the present salaries.
Mr. Cook remarked that he Oelieved there is justification for the re-
quest ih comparison with other cities an~ work done in civilian plan~s and
that las~ year no raise was received and the wages are inadequate, not only
in the ~epartments he represents but in other departments.

like to have the Council more or less sponsor a special levy to raise needed
funds; however,· the Mayor said that the city needs money for operating the
City government and he didn't know whether the City should carry this propo-
sition to the people, and there is ample time to refer to the Lions Club to
circulate a petition and have it pure, on the ballot. Clerk pointed out that
if the levy was approved by the voters that themoney would not be received
until 198~ and registered warrants would have ~o be issued, which would in-
volve interest.

ation and said he believed the pool would cost more than the present figures

Mr. Casad, who was present, commented that the Stat~ lands which the
