Councilman Fulton stated that the cost to� the City ��c�, is estimated at between $1 ,500 and $2 ,000 and that it will not be a dupli- cation of cost as the certification from the State was at no cost to the City. City Manager Brickwood requested that this matter be referred to staff. He noted that he has compiled a considerable amount of material and it appears that there might be an advantage to the City to par.ticipate in the 1975 census. Mr. Brickwood said that in two weeks he would have a full report on not only the subventions but also the impact such census would have on the forthcoming Revenue Sharing Plan. He mentioned that the City was offered recertification by the State to 18,400 as of January 1 , 1975, and that he has sent a letter to the State Department of Finance requesting such recertification. The County figure from the State was 87,500. With the approval of Council, Mayor Denny deferred action on this matter until the meeting of May 19th. .
