Councilmember Jenn1ngs requested that the record reflect that his
negative vote was for the reason that, if personally he was faced
with the choice between funding something like a child abuse
hotline and funding two street lights, he would be happy to fund
the hotline and not the street lights. Although he would be happy
to vote for the increased spending for social services, he could
not vote for spending the extra money without at the same time
biting the bullet by specifying where the money would come from and
what other City services would be reduced to provide the funds.
Councilmember Reed requested that the record reflect her deep and
abiding concern about the increases in new programs, especially the
health programs, which she does not believe the City is able to
fund, and her opposition to the transfers to the general fund with
no concomitant reduction in other programs.

and execute contracts with all community organizations approved for
funding through General Revenue Sharing money. Second by
