REVENUE SHARING Supervisor Schwan reported that "Planned Use" reports had been received from the Federal government and that the Town is required to fill out such reports indicating how the Town intends to use its Revenue Sharing funds. One of the forms must be completed and re turned to the Federal government by September 1, and the completed form must be published in the newspaper. It appears the money can only be allocated to capital improvements and payment of debt ser vice (principal only)- The Supervisor noted that the first round of Revenue Sharing money ($37,900) was allocated $30,320 to Bolton Point and $7,580 to land acquisition and was so published in the - 3 - July 30, 1973 Ithaca Journal. The Supervise!;' estimated that the Bolton Point transmission charge per unit at $35j.00, which amount could be re duced to $20.00 a unit by using Revfenud Sharing money for the Bolton Point project. He suggested the possibility of obligating the first two or three years of Revenue Sharing money to Bolton Point and then deciding later how to allocate the remaining Revenue Sharing funds. There was some discussion as to whether ^ome of the Revenue Sharing monies should go into parks and recteation.
