Mr. Haws questioned the cost and what advantages the City would have e to enter into this agreement. Don Allen, Public Works Director, said additional charges initially would be for electric service on two traffic signals. However, in the long run, there will be less City cost for large future capital projects, i.e., the Chambers overpass.

It consists of two programs centered on identifying and removing from society serious offenders: ICAP (police component), and Career (prosecutor com- ponent).
