Moorse concurred. Callahan asked if there were a number of other bills with those same characteristics. Moorse stated there were. Jabbour noted the problem he has with the issue *s that on September 28th, the Counci I members left the meeting with a budget estimate, which since has been revised and the Council was not apprised of the revisions until specifically asked for.
