Revenue-Sharing Hearing Slated By Ottawa City Commissioners
Ottawa city commissioners will hold a 3 p.m. public hearing Monday to discuss requests for federal revenue-sharing funds. Officials said Congress has not yet authorized funds for 1981 and Washington pressures may cut or end the program. City Clerk Pete Smith cited 1981 revenues at 121,611 based on 1980 levels, with an additional 33,000 possible from late 1980. Mills noted funds could fund capital projects rather than salaries.
