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. Cosatil iito discu s airport proposal (Continued from Page 1) port "self-sufficient" because 6f 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.
