with the city, the cost of fuel was $1.53 per gallon, and that today it is $2.85 per gallon.

Committee look at this issue, with input from the City's Finance Director, and come to the
Council with its recommendation. Mr. Graham was asked to submit in writing what the
increases would be so the city can get that information to the public. Assistant Community
Director Charles Lansford was also asked to get with Mr. Graham and put together all
information that would be needed, and also to get the information to Councilman Michael
