Also present were City Manager Cowden, Assistant City Manager and Purchasing Director Stewart, City Attorney Murphy, Finance Director and Personnel Director Courtney, Planning Director Harris, and Public Works Director Arness. CIVIC AUDITORIUM The City Manager reported on the substance of several telephone conversa- tions he had held with officials of the Economic Development Administration of the United States, both in Washington, D. C. and at the West Coast Regional Office in Seattle, as well as certain conversations he had held with members of Congressman "Bizz" Johnson's staff. As a result of these con- � versations it was his belief that the City's application now in the principal sum of $l, 266, 792 would have a greater chance of favorable consideration ��-� if it were amended to reduce the amount requested to the total sum of $500, 000. It was his further understanding that if this reduction were made, the representatives of EDA would do all they could to try and get the City a final answer on the application within 30 days. The matter was discussed by membe rs of Council and staff. MOTION: Made by Councilman Denny, seconded by Councilman Doherty that the City Manager be authorized to send the necessary letters and , documents to EDA amending the City's application to reduce the sum � applied for from $1, 266, 792 to $500, 000.
