<br />Member of the Common Council
<br />A public hearing was held on the resolution at this time. Mr. Peter Mullen, City Controller,
<br />indicated that contingent upon the $380,000 grant was the fact that the City must match with
<br />$100,000. He indicated the $100,000 would be taken from 1980 Revenue Sharing Funds. He
<br />said that as a result of weather, increasing inflation and other time restraints, it was
<br />necessary for the Council to indicate their preference on the receipt of the $380,000 grant
<br />and the appropriation of the $100,000. He said this money would be used to build a zoo
<br />educational building at Potawatomi Park. Council Member Adams indicated that the $100,000
<br />could be added to the park bond issue. Mr. Mullen said that this would delay construction, as
<br />the bond issue would not be ready until next spring. Council Member Taylor made a motion to
<br />adopt this resolution, seconded by Council Member Miller. The resolution was adopted by a roll
<br />call vote of eight ayes and one nay (Council Member ADams.)
