It was moved by Councilman McAllister, seconded by Councilman Sylvester, and carried that the staff incorporate this thinking on the intra city transpor- tation, in compilation of next year's budget, keeping the Council informed, and if the Council feels it is feasible, incorporate the establishment of this serv- ice, on a trial basis, in next year's budget. p/, NOMINATIONS FOR LEAGUE COMMITTEES Administrative Officer Ross stated he has received the following responses from Councilmen willing to serve on League of California committees: Councilman McAllister on Committee on Aviation Problems, Revenue and Taxation, Transportation and Freeways, Community Development and Beautification and Water Problems; Coun- cilman Sylvester on Committee on Tidelands and Water Problems; Councilman Hamil- ton on Committee on Undergrounding utilities, Future and Law Enforcement Problems.
