Mayor Barbara A.

over the additions and changes.
The Cemetery
Commission asked the City for $6000 for the rest of the year.
The Parks and
Recreation Commission asked for $2850 for pipes that have to be replaced that

That is an increase of $4350.
Mr. Young then went
over the other changes in the budget line by line, and the Council asked
questions as he went.
