The City Council would like to re-evaluate the dollar value on
Ordinance No. 983, Section 4, and would like a recommendation from
the Park Board. The current dollar value is now $150 per dwelling

replace it with the phrase that payment will be that of the current
assgs ed value of the land Which would be revised annually by city
council:.and/or the tax accesor.

rave been contacted prior to the day before council wanted the recom-
