and that an engineering firm has offered to apply to the Federal Government
for these funds that could be used for a Civil Defense building, Fire Station
or a Public Works building.

Funds. Rem Bennett seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous. Bids will

last week that we were one of five finalists. The first place winner will be
named at the National Congress the week of October 17, 1976. A cash prize of
$1000 will be awarded the winner.
Citizen Input: Gene Hoaster of Ward 7 stated that all citizens owning property
in the area of the Ruff property at Concord Road and Hurt Road were not against
the rezoning. He recommended we try to work compromise with ka Mr. -Ruff,
instead of appealing the case.

as the courts are the only protection we have.
