There was no public comment on the proposed millage rate. Mrs. Chewning

School system; and urged more monies be allocated to traffic calming
needs. Commissioner Lynum maintained her support for the Parramore Charter
School. Commissioner Ammerman explained rationale meriting a salary
increase. Mayor Hood announced the proposed FY 2000-01 millage rate for
