He also requested consideration of establishment of a budget account for Agency expenses which. are not considered project costs and therefore not eligible for payment from survey and planning funds made available by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Councilman McDonald asked if the City's share of the renewal project will be a part of the 1968-69 budget. The Manager said the local one-third share will be in the form of sewers, paving, street lighting, etc., for which cash credit will be given. Redevelopment bonds are another method of providing the City's share. The bonds will be retired from increased tax returns on property within the project.
