And that at I some point that will disadvantage them substantially. Part of my reason for bringing that up � repeatedly is - I believe it is - very important that the greater community not perceive the City as bearing the responsibility to make up for that shrinkage that will occur in the ability of the District to fund its operations. During the course of this contract, I think iYs very important that the District, and possibly the City, work to figure out how to resolve that coming crisis that they will I have without the ability to index their income. That said, I think this is important and we should proceed and I move that we approve this agreement. � I �_ i .t 4� � �, � � - 5 . ♦ .. ,s% . r r' k_r. • � r�� ,
