marked that since this was;an infbrmal meeting the purpose was to clear up any questions
about the different Budget items between the two boards so that when they met in formal ses-
sion they would.be abie to conclude their business with no misunderstanding. On two of the
items received, there was an unusual amount of discussion, i.e., 1- Sorosis Museum was
again presented by Mrs. W. A. Fonvielle who stressed the importance and value of the cultural
interests and development engendered for our County by having a museum to show visitors
and of which they could be proud. The Council agreed to study their plans for using the
third floor of the City Hall but said at present they were urowded for space; 2- Civil De-
fense, which seemed to be unanimously approved by both governing bodies and unofficially
agreed on the Budget Requests for $5,768.25 which would be ratified at a later meeting.
MISCELLANEOUS ADVERTISING -
Chairman Hall remarked that in thie past some of the appropriations have been
made out of Emergency Funds where organi2ations came before one of the governing bodies
with a request for an appropriation which was not budgeted by appearing before the Commiss-
ioners and telling them they felt reasonably certain that the Council would go along with
approving the joint request provided the County would do likewise, and vice versa. He
fe2t that this caused much confusion for both bodies, and that this practice should be
given some sbudy. "
'ADJOURNMENT -
There being no further mutual business for discussion, the Boards adjoned.
