The Councilmen were sympathetic with Mrs. Lamb's request; however, as elected public
officials, they could not spend taxpayers money to waive fees for some groups without
considering the needs of everyone in the community which would set a precedent. Mrs.
Lamb then asked the Council if they would like to donate fee for use of the center
whereby some interest was'.expressed. At this point, Councilman Schor objected to
public solicitation at a Council Meeting and asked that such request be made privately
after the meeting.

Mr. Arnold Pedowitz, Attorney, defended Mrs. Lamb and felt it was within the
Council's jurisdiction to waive fee for the low income or otherwise disadvantaged
people.
Various members of the City Council again reiterated their views that they could
not do for one group without considering all citizens in Pasco.
Mrs. Frozine Staten, 631 S. Waldemar, complained of unusually high water bill and
personal conduct of City employee who investigated the cause. The City -Manager
assured Mrs. Staten that problem would be corrected and adjusted, if necessary.

as repairman's version of cause. This will be reviewed further.
