Mr. O'Connell said that the proposed <br />statewide tipping fee which would fund the State Conservation Fund, could have an <br />impact of $75,000 on the City next year, and an impact of $150,000 in a full year, and he <br />recommended using the anticipated increase in State revenue at'least for next year to <br />offset that amount. He said staff will make permanent recommendations for next year if <br />the fee is approved. Mr. O'Connell said that three programs were recommended by <br />Council to receive CDBG funds (AIDS Support Group, Drug Court and Abundant Life <br />Ministries). Mr. O' ' <br /> Connell said that the AIDS program and Drug Court are eligible <br />programs, and he recommended that Council ask the CDBG Task Force to review <br />funding for them, but Abundant Life Ministries, due to its religious nature, is not eligible <br />for CDBG funds. <br /> <br /> <br />
