Lithe following report:
i; :
?PTO MEMBERS OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE:
;s I wish to thank the members of the Finance Committee for their !=
( good attendance and interest shown throughout the Budget hearings .
I feel Jefferson City is fortunate to have people in its government l
that show the interest which has been displayed during these
hearings. The Mayor, Councilmen and women, Heads of all Depart-
'Iments, have cooperated to the fullest extent.
I dare say you can't show me a City in the Nation that has the ,,,
; assessment valuation of Jefferson City, which is in a better
financial condition than Jefferson City. I feel this shows the good(
4 overnment that Jefferson City has had. Even after giving over II
40,000.00 from General Revenue this year to Parking Authority n
Funds, from parking tickets , we came within approximately one (1/0)
'Finance per cent of estimated income.
Committee) Yours truly « Ken Wildhaber, Chairman,
