Grant Programs - Mr. Murray stated interest in having Council receive brief summaries of grants the City has received in the last 3 to 5 years and the kinds of activities they involve.

He wondered about it specifically as regards the proposed Intelligence Network System.' Mr. Martin said no grant has been received under the LEIU program. FF.

City's possible Conflict of Interest re Valley River Arrests - Mr. Haws referred to picketers at Val1ey"River being Charged with trespassing by Valley River officials and subsequently being arrested and brought to Municipal Court.
