School Revenue for 1986-87 and 1987-88 - for 1986-87, there will be <br />$85,000.00 more received that is now projected in the Manager's <br />proposed budget for 1987-88, and probably--but unknown at this time-- <br />more revenue for 1987-88 than is now projected; <br /> <br />E. Proposed Usage of Portion of 1986-87 Appropriation Ba~ances; and <br /> <br />F.
