Mayor ~aufman said this has been discussed before: the Council might con- sider raising the authority of the City Manager to pass on these items up to approximately $3,000 and giving the Council a report, because every year the Council passes on these items without too serious objections (other than was experienced with respect to the Salt item), but this is a matter on which the Council ought to make a determination.
