(1) That the City Council hereby expresses its intent to appropriate $9.254 million in the FY/08 City of Albuquerque General Fund operating budget to assist with the operating costs of the Metropolitan Detention Center, subject to the City’s review of legislation enacted by the New Mexico State Legislature relating to detention center financing.
