tion was included in these figures and was informed that it was. Mayor

be as the City grew.

that all City funds should be brought under the audit.

no objection to an audit and that he had just found out about these.funds at the
last meeting. He felt that they should be audited and was sure that the Qty,
and Library could come to an agreement, stating that the population of Fort

the Library and that the library book cards were up 497 from last year, ad

by Monday, if possible, that this money was put in the general fund and used
for new books and pictures, The City Manager also brought up the matter.of
the Library failing to join a State Cooperative Library System and said that
Fort Collins was qualified to receive $3,000.00 or$3,500.00 for State aid.
Mr. Watr•:oua-and Mrs. Bennett both stated that they had attended meeting on
this matter and had met with Mr. Ron Strahle, State Representative, and had
never been .able to pin down just what obligations and what benefits the Library
would receive. The City Manager stated that one years State aid could finance
two years of the McNaughton Rental Service.
This matter was further tabled and a meeting would be held with the
Library Board on the non -budgeted and non -audited funds.
