Mr., Howe asked if anything had been received on Revenue Sharing and was told
the bill had not been approved by congress as yet. However, he stated that
so~eone in the beginning had had the foresight to use these funds only for
capital items, so they City would only be affected in that area should the
funds not be approved.

about permitting City staff to sell auto tags, registration and renewals.

Mr.; Sawyer also said he did not feel the UA Columbia committee got the
co~rect feelings of the Council concerning Sections 4.05 and 5.01 of their
