Councilman Herrin stated he was <br />basically opposed to the newsletter in principle; he also felt it was too costly, <br />and that if Council felt that it should be continued, he thought it could be done <br />in a much less expensive manner by having it done by City staff. Councilmen <br />Villa, Yamamoto, Patterson and Mayor Griset felt the newsletter was needed <br />to disseminate information to the citizens in regard to programs that are <br />available to them, what's happening in City government, and the citizens' <br />rights with the City government. Councilman Markel expressed the opinion <br />that the newsletter was a waste of public funds and he was not in favor of <br />continuing it. <br /> <br />Councilman Markel made a motion, seconded by Councilman Herrin, to delete <br />the City newsletter from the Budget. The motion failed to pass, on the <br />following roll call vote: <br /> <br />AYES: <br />NOES: <br />ABSENT: <br /> <br />Herrin, Markel <br />Patterson, Villa, Yamamoto, Griset <br />Evans <br /> <br />Council discussed briefly the operation of the Bowers Memorial MuSeum. <br /> <br />The City Attorney's budget was then considered. The Attorney explained his <br />budget in detail; he also explained that the amount of $4,220 budgeted for <br />Transportation & Travel included trips that he would be making at the direction <br />of the City Council. It was felt by the Council that if the City Attorney were <br />directed by Council to undertake trips regarding Council business, the funds <br />should come from the City Council's Transportation & Travel fund. <br /> <br />CITY COUNCIL <br /> <br />-193- July 20, 1970 <br /> <br /> <br />
