This letter was a result of the workshop held several days ago. This would carry us through to the end of the next fiscal year, which was fiscal year 1998 -99, at which time, if all was going well and a benefit to the public, it would be addressed during budget time for the year 1999 -2000. Mr. Waite stated that he determined that there was $8,000 in the General Fund under Administrative Professional Services and some money was available in the Street Department, not in the Professional Services area but there was a fund balance that could be used. The amount would need to be determined. Mayor Nancolas stated that he talked with the City Engineer and he believed there was approximately $6,000 that would qualify in the Street Department for this type of activity and the balance would then be taken from the General Fund. Between the two, there was money in this year's budget. A motion was needed from the Council authorizing the Mayor and Staff to make the appropriate payment to Treasure Valley Transportation to get this program started.
