Foeman January 8, 1999 TO City Clerk DATE FILE SUBJECT July 14, 1998 Comm. Item-Gusman FROM REFERENCES: L. Plummer, r� ice Chairman ENCLOSURES Please be advised that Mr. Clark and Commissioner Plummer have spoken regarding the July 14, 1998 pocket item concerning the $50,000 which was earmarked for Gusman. The pocket item's intent was for the money to go to Gusman for its 1997-98 fiscal year. Due to rhetoric at the Commission Meeting the minutes are misleading. Commissioner Plummer is discussing the item with the City Manager so that it could be resolved administratively rather than going back to the Commission.
