ALLOCATION FOR CIVIC ARTS PROGRAM
Mrs. Teixeirars letter of July 17, 1980 asked for City assistance
of $5,000 for revitalizatj-on of the Burlingame Civic Arts Council
to meet needs of citizens for cultural growth.
Councilman Amstrup noted recent newspaper publicity which em-
phasized the fact that Burlingame had $200,000 in Federal Revenue
Sharing funds this year, and implied the City had no definite
plans for it. Therefore, several organizations have applied for
a share. He stressed the point that the City does have specific
plans for the money, but in compliance with Federaf Revenue
Sharing regulations is accepting requests.
