<br />- "Consideration of an ordinance on first reading to appropriate $57,000 from thet
<br />for the additibnal positions authorized by the Cmmpensation Board for the City
<br />
<br /> This ordinance will appropriate the ~57,000 needed in State funding for the additional

<br />transferred from the Emergency Contingency ACcount to the Sheriff's Budget as a local match
<br />for eight (8) additional correctional officers, over and above the current auths~i~ed strength,.

<br />second reading of the State funds for the additional correctional officers. The City Manager
<br />recommends adoption on first reading.'
