Agate, complained about weeds and debris blowing into his yard, and due to non -burning Ordinance, was finding this a big nuisance. The City Manager responded by stating if he had 25' clearance on all sides and the air was calm, it was possible to get a burning permit to dispose of vegetation and, debris . The Manager of new General Pants store at 4th & Lewis introduced himself and invited all the City officials.to attend his grand opening. A.E. Pitts criticized the Pasco City Council for their "spending policies" and compulsory garbage pickup for citizens not desiring it. Mayor Linton and members of the City Council responded by stating that public hearings had been held on compulsory solid waste pickup and the Ordinance had not been in effect long enough to give it a chance. The Council realized there were some inequities which might have to be reviewed, particularly as far as senior citizens were concerned and they would do everything possible. Further, there would be a Public Hearing on the pro- posed 1973 Budget, and at that time, Mr. Pitts would have an opportunity to voice his opinion.
