After some discussion on this matter, it was the consensus <br />of the City Council that no further time or effort be expended on the area of single <br />family housing financed by industrial revenue bonds, as it appeared the program <br />would be eliminated by the legislature in 1979.

In so far as industrial and <br />commercial industrial revenue bond issues were concerned, the consensus of the City <br />Council was to continue efforts in this area. The Council specifically discussed <br />the role of the financial consultant, fee schedules and bones that might be required, <br />such that the City will not be liable for consulting fees if an issue were not to be <br />approved. After some further discussion on these items, COUNCILMAN ENGSTROM MOVED <br />TO HAVE A RESOLUTION CREATED SETTING FORTH THE PROCEDURES.
