MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor Allen
From: Dan Sweat

Subject: Attached Letter from Paul Weir

Jimmy Mims says that normally the industrial firm that sponsors the
championship softball team in the Softball Association paid for the cost
of the trip to the National Tournament in the event their team wins the
metropolitan championship. Jimmy is Commissioner of the Softball
Aesociation and says that the Association is providing $550 toward the
expense of the Water Department Championship team. This money
comes from registration fees, which the teams pay to participate in
league play. The Finance Department says that the only account which
could legally contribute to the expenses of the team is the Mayor's
contingency fund. While wechavbvto be very careful not to abuse the
Mayor's contingency fund, I believe that it would be appropriate to
provide some assistance to this team from the City. I would recommend
that the City contribute $500 from the Mayor's contingency fund to be
used to help defray part of the expenses for patticipation in the National
Championship Tournament.
