Referred to Committee GENERAL FUND BALANCE City Manager Kennedy reported that the General Fund Balance as of June 15, 1959, was $773,003.97, and that there were no refunds and no disbursements from Bond Funds or Special Assessment Funds. COUNTRY CHURCH City Manager Kennedy advised the Board that an application had been received on May DAY CENTER 26, 1959, from Reverend W. H. Higginbotham of the International Church of the Four Square Gospel for a nursery license at the Country Church Day Center, 318 South Nursery License Fee 11th Street. Mr. Kennedy further advised that no fee had been charged this nursery Required to date, and it was being operated by the Reverend's wife and a charge of $3.00 per day for each child was being made; all revenue going to the church fund. Mr. Kennedy advised that there were certain establishments not required to pay the regular nursery license fee; namely, the Variety Day School which is a true non­profit operation with many people leaving their children there without charge, and the other, the Jewish Community Center School which is not a true nursery because of their educational program for which they have fully State accredited teachers operating an educational type program. Mr. Kennedy felt that in view of the fact that the Country Church Day Center did charge a fee which went into the church treasury, it would be in direct competition with commercial nurseries and believed the regular nursery license fee should be required. Commissioner Fountain moved that the regular nursery license fee for the Country Church Day Center be required. Motion seconded by Commissioner Elwell and carried by the following vote: Commis­sioners Elwell, Fountain and His Honor Acting Mayor Pro Tem Sharp voting aye; noes, none. Absent: Mayor C. D. Baker and Mayor Pro Tem Reed Whipple. -oOo- There being no further business to come before the Board, at the hour of 9:08 p.m. Commissioner Elwell moved this meeting adjourn.
