Council asked Mr. Abril to proceed. 29. Mr. Abril said he would like Council's confirmation that it did, in fact, approve in final format, and not tentatively, the request of the Veterans Memorial Commit- tee for Revenue Sharing Funds in the amount of $32,000 and that it will not be necessary for the committee to be present to further justify this request. Discussion followed on the incorporation of Revenue Sharing Funds into the General Fund of the City and thusly into the General Operating Budget. Council consensus was that the request of the Veterans Memorial Committee had had final approval for the use of Revenue Sharing Funds in the amount of $32,000. EXECUTIVE SESSION: The Council adjourned to Executive Session at 6:16 p. m., to discuss personnel matters. The City Council reconvened at 7:50 p. m., all Members present. Moved by Councilman Rehrer, seconded by Councilman Hayes to appoint Chief of Police Phillip Elliott as Acting City Manager. Motion carried. Council Members Cisneros and Temby voting NO. BUDGET: Finance Director Helsley reported he had distributed to each of the Council Members Q a Budget Review dated August 2, 1979, which summarizes the position of the City Q with regard to recent Council actions on the budget. Q Community Services Street Sweeping The City Council discussed the possibility of reverting back to a City operated and maintained street sweeping operation and terminating the contracted out service. Councilman Temby was of the opinion that he had some reliable information that the City could immediately go into the street sweeping program at a cost savings to the city. Finance Director Helsley said he had reviewed the costs, both for contracting out and for City operation and found them to be very close if the purchase of a street sweeper is excluded from these costs, however, he could not say how dependable the old sweeper would be. Council instructed Staff to research the contract and come back at the next meet- ing with a report for the next meeting. Mrs. Lorenza Vasquez, 677 South 8th Street, addressed the City Council, speaking on behalf of the Woodrow Wilson PTA Board. Mrs. Vasquez requested that two flashing yellow lights, one each, be placed at either end of South 8th Street. Electric Utility Director, Mr. Drews, estimated the cost of the flashing yellow lights to be approximately $200 - $300 each. Mrs. Vasquez stated that the light at Alice Birney School might be recoverable since the school will no longer be used for children education. Moved by Councilwoman Cisneros, seconded by Councilman Rehrer, to allow two flash- ing yellow lights on South 8th Street for Woodrow Wilson School and that the light at Alice Birney School be considered for moving. Unanimous vote.
