tion Plan. It was outlined that of the City participation cost of $53,265.10 that $38,222.40

missioner Crapps and carried.
The Mayor announced that the City had now been served with a notice of a suit filed

that in:~a recent discussion, Reverend Owens indicated the possibility that some of the person~
instituting the suit would consider withdrawing their names; and, after discussion with the
City Attorney and on this basis, the City Attorney had drawn up an "affidavit" form for those
parties in said suit desiring to sign.
