Equipment Certificates $190,000 G.O.

Mr. Keysser replied that the Charter would not have an affect on improvement bonds paid by assessments; levy supported bonds would be a different story. Councilmember Reimann stated he would rather cancel the equipment order than to place the City in the position of not being able to afford the equipment if spending is curtailed down the line. Mr. Keysser replied that now is a good time to sell bonds, but he can't address the question of whether or not the City should get the equipment. Mr. Goodrich stated that a charter can affect action taken tonight or five years ago; C/May 24, 1984 Page 13 of 24
