On June 2 the Community Development Commission recom­ mendation to spend $1 5 ,0 0 0 next year for these children will be on Council agenda. The Council will probably send it to committee. The staff will probably recommend its passage and also funding for free hot lunches for two other schools. Then it will probably come up for a vote June 9 or maybe June 1 6 . We are doing trail-breaking work here. These lunches will be paid for by Federal block-grant funds and matched by Federal Nutri­ tion funds. The city has the money because the Potrero project cost less than expected. It won't cost the school district a cent. And it won't raise your property taxes. Thirty-three percent (33%) of these kids are on welfare. But they are our kids - they go to school in our community. Our community includes these children as well as people who are threatened by ammonia tanks. So even if you don't have children, and maybe especially if you don't have children - PLEAoE GO TO THESE MEETINGS. You people in Brickyard Cove - and on Western Drive - the councilmen know who you are.
