He noted that this is just <br />authorization to request this grant, so the Council will have the opportunity to review this further <br />if the City gets the grant. <br />Councilmember Look stated that he thinks the City needs to plan for the potential $200,000 <br />budget impact this will create four years from now. <br />City Council / March 24, 2009 <br />Page 7 of 9 <br />
