<br />reading. This appropriates $16,880.86 from the Revenue Sharing Trust Fund for the
<br />purchase of equipment in the Public Safety category.
<br />
<br /> This approBriation is for the interest earned on Entitlement 3 funds from April
<br />through August of this year. There was originally earmarked $300,000 for replacement
<br />of equipment from the first two entitlements, but due to the large amount withheld
<br />from Entitlement 2, only $242,000 of this amount has been appropriated. This appropriatioi
<br />will reduce the outstanding amount needed to be funded for Revenue Sharing for equipment
<br />to approximately $41,000."

<br />approved on firstrreading, and by the following vote:
