cal sales tax, ballot language and a policy statement were developed by
Council. The purpose of this public discussion is not to hear comments
on the advisability of a local option sales tax but rather to hear citizen
input on the proposed ballot language and policy statement. Plans call
for the public discussion to occur at the special October 29 and regular
November 3 Council meetings. Council action calling for a special elec-
tion is scheduled for the November 17 regular Council meeting,
