REVENUE TASK FORCE RECOMMENDATION (Report distributed) e Manager submitted his recommendation to the Council defining the magnitude of the problem, and pointing out specific project assignments as outlined in hi s report. He suggested that the Mayor select a chairperson to the task force and that eight other members be chosen by the Councilors. A report should be compiled by the task force by November 1, 1979. Mr. Delay and Mr. Lieuallen expressed concern that the Mayor would veto suggestions from the task force, and Mr. Lieuallen requested that the project be dealt with expeditiously and in an objective manner. Mayor Keller feels that the project will be removed from the political arena. He has a positive attitude toward the task force, and he will maintain a compromising and open posture. He expressed concern about increased property taxes, and the possible halt to federal revenue sha ri n9. He does not support a revenue which will not provide additional funding support to the City through inflationary times. The Councilors were in favor of a long-range task force; however, there was also a shared concern about the immediate budget increase problem. Mr. Delay suggested that a short-term program be prepared by November for review before the public. In response to Ms. Miller, Manager said that the long-range funding problems will not be solved for the November election but that, if a major revenue source is approved at or before the May 1980 election, it will help the 1980-81 budget committee. Manager does not think that the task force will solve this year's budget dilemma, ~ but feels that it will provide helpful data at the very least for the Budget Committee. 6/20/79--3 3Jfo
