Council acknowledged receipt of the resignation of Mr. J. Berkley Travis as a member of the City Welfare Board (effective June 30, 1974) for reasons expressed by Messrs. James L. Lavinder, H. F. Haymore, Jr., and William R. Windle in their resignations submitted May 28, 1974; whereupon, by motion (duly seconded and unanimously carried), Council accepted these resignations, meanwhile expressing appreciation of the services rendered and a sympathetic understanding of the frustrations encountered by the Board since its inception last year; and, also, Council abolished said Board effective June 30, 1974. In connection with his proposed 1974-75 City Budget, City Manager Noland informed Council that through some reductions in salary accounts and a reduction in the proposed Welfare budget, plus an increased anticipated surplus in the School Fund and a proposed revision of the City's utility tax on electric service customers, said proposed budget could be balanced. At this point, at the request of the City Manager, Council went into Executive Session to receive reports from the City Manager concerning personnel and salaries, after which (Session) Council reconvened into regular session, announcing that said reports had been received but required no action. Then, upon motion (duly seconded and unanimously carried), Council placed said proposed budget (as revised) on first reading and called for a duly-advertised public hearing thereon to be held at Council's forthcoming June 25th meeting. Council was adjourned. ~.~' W. H. a~ n, Clerk of Council
