I would like to bring up as a pocket item on the April 28, 1998, Commission meeting
an issue regarding the Department of Off -Street Parking. In order to determine
whether the Department of Off -Street Parking can give their revenue stream to the
City from their bonds they need to obtain a legal opinion from bond counsel.
Therefore I request that we approve their selection of such.
Thank you for your cooperation.
