<br />computerized ticket facilities, etc.)
<br />
<br /> The Director of Public Works recommends that $73,000 be
<br />appropriated for these items from the Capital Improvements Fund.
<br />I concur with the Director of Public Works and, with your
<br />approval of this item, the balance in the Capital Improvements
<br />Fund will be $9,809,991."

<br />Plan for drainage and street improvements in the Simonsdale
<br />area. The first phase of this project will be improvements to

<br />Woolpert in the amoun= of $65,000 from funds previously
