ASHLAND CITY COUNCIL
JUNE 23, 1972
A special meeting of the Ashland City Council met at 2:30 p.m.
on the above date in the Council Chambers, City Hall, to meet
with Congressman John Dellenback. The Mayor and all Council
members, except Willstatter, were present.
Some discussion first ensued regarding revenue sharing between
the federal, state and local governments. Dellenback said the
House version of the proposed bill had passed, but the Senate
might make some changes. He detailed the formula used, and said
both operating and capital improvement within three categories:
transportation, sewage and safety.
In discussing the request for a freeway interchange, Dellenback
stated the pressure point for the request would be at the State
level, since priorities were determined at that point. He also
stated a push for federal funds for mass transportation could
cut into funds set aside for improvements of the federal highway
system. Some maps were presented to the Congressman in conjunc-
tion with the requested freeway interchange outlining the park
development along Bear Creek.
After further discussion, the Council presented a copy of the
application for federal aid in improving the sewage treatment
plant to Dellenback, briefly outlining the situation.
As the Congressman had to leave at 3:20 p.m., the meeting was
adjourned at that time, subject to the call of the Mayor.
Respectfully submitted,
Joseph M. Butler
City Recorder
