See Sports: page 3 Up a tree More golf course woes By Ian McDougall and Suzanne Emery Daily Evergreen Staff . The Pullman City Council has been requested to withdraw their application for money from the Public Works trust fund for the Wastewater Effluent Reuse Project. Pete A. Butkus, the Public Works manager for the State Depart- ment of Community Development, asked the council to withdraw their application in a Nov. 29 letter to the city supervisor John Sher- man. Butkus cited several problems surrounding the project as a reason. Butkus outlined two options available to the council in the letter. The first is to withdraw the application. This would allow city council to "reprioritize the project, complete necessary environmental review, and commit staff resources to working on issues." The second option the council has is letting the application stand. In this event, the letter states: "1 will recommend to the Public Works Board that this project be withdrawn for financing by Board Action." Water reuse is the right thing to do. Unfortunately," this project is not ready to proceed. -Pete A. Butkus Public Works manager, State of Washington If the council plans to stand behind the application they must "send representatives to the State Public Works board meeting in SeaTac on Jan. 4. Butkus said.

At the meeting, she suggested this option because of the resident's apparent opposition to the project, and the questionable legality surrounding the golf course's involvement.
