chet charged that the commis-
sion members have deliberately
inhibited public input by pub-
lishing only minimal notice of
its "decisions and public meet-
ings. He said that at a recent
meeting about 30 people were
given the "classic runaround"
and were greeted with "an atti-
tude that could only be con-
strued as a form of medieval
despotism."
After hearing a list of charges
against the commission, Mayor
Robert Harris said that a copy
of Shoichet's statement should
be sent to Commission Chair-
person Sidney Winter and that
a reply should be sent to the
council. De Grieck said he will
ask that a public hearing be
held on the matter before next
week's voting.
Council also agreed to vote
next week on an ordinance that
would permit the establishment
of day care centers in resi-
dential neighborhoods without
approval of the Zoning oard
of Appeals.
If passed, the measure would
facilitate the creation of cen-
ters in homes situated on
streets with low traffic volumes
in the city.

increased revenue from hangar
rentals, fuel tax receipts and
federal reimbursement for land
purchases which the city has al-
ready made.
If the expansion plan is not
approved, says Harris, state and
federalmoney for the runways
and land purchases will no
longer be forthcoming. The air-
port will not carry the volume
of traffic necessary to become
self-sufficient and the city will
have to cover, not only airport
operations as it has in the past,
but also the recent land pur-
chases-a total of $140,000, ac-
cording to the city administra-
tor's office.
Eight council votes are re-
quired to amend the city budget
once it is approved. If council
votes down the expansion plan
and later deadlocks on the is-
sue of where to cut the budget,
the final decision will be made
by Guy Larcom, city administra-
tor.
Larcom says that he "hasn't
faced up to the problem" of
possible cuts because council
has yet to act.
