Renarks: Dan Lansing remarks- he would like to ask for members to think by the next meeting about waiting to use the Savings. He brought up that there could be 30% loss of revenue when the casino opens in Cincinnati. He also pointed out that Kentucky wants gambling at the track. Could Council look at the lost revenue predictions and what our budget will look like in three to five years. Do we need to wait to expand the jail.

Dennis Kraus would like to have an Ordinance stating what the River Boat Savings can be spent for. Example: only for Capital Projects or lnfrastructure and not ever used for day to day expenses.

[-iz Morris noted that an Ordinance is not set in stone and a future Council could pass another Ordinance to change it.

Maynard Barrett is of the opinion that council is spending the River Boat money at every meeting but when it.comes to a larger amount theyihoxe up. where do tlrey make the cut off? What size of project?
