Enclosed is a summary of the monies that apply to this local match. If desired, I will supply a printout from our computer accounting program which reflects the total action of our bank account. • If the City would release the budgeted funds at this time, these funds will help us with our summer Strings for Youth Program and with the Arts in the Park concerts. We hope that Elk River will continue to provide funding for our programs in 1996. Please advise us of the appropriate time to approach the City Council with our request. Very truly yours, ~~ David V.
