Street Construction '

to the Cypress Street project. It was decided to leave the budget as is
with the understanding that when the Cypress Street project receives
Cal Trans approval, the money could be transferred at that time.
There was discussion re adding an appropriation of $31 ,000 for the
transportation program; i.e. , some type of dial-a-ride program.
Council suggested that this could possibly be a revenue sharing item
and should be considered at the budget study session on May 28th.

the Preliminary Budget, staff was advised that the lighting system at
Tiger Field would have to be replaced if night games are to be played
next year. It is therefore his recommendation that the replacement �y�
of the cyclone fence - backstop, with an appropriation for $15 ,000 be
deleted from the budget, and that $42 ,000 be added to replace the
lighting system.

sign for the auditorium as it would not be visible because of the trees.

mission and the Planning Commission, and a letter from the California
Roadside Council were reviewed. It was tentatively agreed to leave the
