If the prospectus are approved,90%of the total cost will be financed through the

year and still continue to provide the city it's needs from city government,and
propose that this matching money be raised by special levy.It would amount
to Z\to 4 mills for one year only to match the 10%share,and the other 90%
would come from State matching funds.If the levy does not pass it would mean
passing up the opportunity of taking advantage of the 90%matching funds for
