_ Page Special Session 869, Minutes June 26, 1967 ~intenance Building and the Fire Trucks~ but he is afraid if the Council expands the four items it may encounter some resistance. Councilman Bamburg said what the Council will be doing if it votes for this tonight is setting up a program and also setting up priorities - say- ing~ for example, that an Ice Skating Rink is far more important to the City than many other things that are mentioned in the Capital Outlay section of the Budget, and he said he would like a little more time to think about that,- there may be some higher priority items than that. Councilman Bam- burg said he would like the matter held over until the next meeting for the Council to discuss at that time. Councilman Woods said she would agree with Councilman Lieberman that air conditioning the Community Center is important, but she understands that the City couldn't get enough revenue from the use of it to actually pay for the cost of it; however, it is an existing facility which can't be fully used for a large period of time because it isn't air conditioned, and therefore, she would see that it would make sense to make the building as useable as possible. Councilman Woods said she thinks the Council ought to therefore include the air conditioning.
