Mr.~Barbour stated that in November th~ public will be faced with a variety of bond issues and he thinks it would be unwise for the City to include its referendum at that time. The Mayor stated that a number of Capital Projects had been discussed to be included in the bond issue, but that no priorities had yet been established. Mr. Barbour suggested 'that the City proceed with issuing the bonds for the City's share Qf~the library facilities without a referendum since no tax increase would be required to retire these bonds. After some discussion action on this matter was deferred until Staff Report re: Pay Increase & Resolution Appropriating $116,723 the next meeting. The City Manager. advised the Council that the carry over balance in the 1976-77 fiscal year budget would be approximately $600,000 more than expected and that the City received a check for $68,144 from the 0ff£ce of Revenue Sharing as the City's first quarterly payment under the Anti-Recession Fiscal Assistance Program. He recommended that based on the availability of these funds that City Council not levy a cigarette tax and that City employees be granted an additional 2% across the board pay increase beginning July 1, 1977. He stated that the additional 2% salacy increase would give employees a total of 4.5% across the board which would be in approximate range of the other local and state government employees.
