He outlined the need for this equipment and reviewed the cost estimates for pur- chase and lease of each item. It was necessary that a cash register be obtained fran IBM in order to remain compatible with the software and TRM computer equipment currently in use. A lengthy discussion follawed, which included concern for the purchase of equipment rather than leasing it. The proposal to move the existing copy machine fran City Hall to the Police/Library Building and install the new equipment at City Hall was also noted.

Applications from (7) 12/06/83 organizations who wish to utilize proceeds fram the Hotel/Nk�tel Tax �inds presently are processed by the City Council. It was the general concensus of the Council Members that the Board of the Convention & Visitors Bureau was capable of dealing with these requests, several of which could be included in the budget process each year.

He noted the follawing rec�ndations: 1. That the City eqnploy a full-time Director to manage the program and �rork with property awners to encourage and facilitate renavation of downtawn buildings and imprave sales and advertising techniques of merchants. 2.
