OLD BUSINESS None N.E\'1 BUSINESS Wayne Wolfe, President of the Edgewater Youth Center, expressed his appreciation to the City for opening the youth center again on Saturday Night. He said there are a few things that should be changed in the Youth Center. He said it should not be open to ten, eleven or twelve year. old children. He said they are just a nuisance. He said that }tr. Hinson, who plays the records over at the Youth Center, will not come back until he gets an apology from Jack Hayman, Chief of Police. He said that the Chief of Police turned off a record while it was playing. Wayne Wolfe also stated that he thought it was fine if the parents come to the Youth Center and help supervise, but if they do not come it should still be open since they have a capable director in Mrs. Thornton. He said he also felt the Youth Center should be open from 7:30 to 11:00. as it was before. Mayor Armstrong said that all of these matters should be taken up vdth the Board of Governors, with the City Council s~tting in on the meeting. He said that if there are any amendments to the rules for running the Youth Center, the Board of Governors and the Council should discuss this with members of the Youth Organization. Concerning the apology requested from Mr. HaJ~' l{ayor Armstrong said he didn't know anything about it but said he would check and see what the circumstances were. He said he hoped the whole thing would be worked out for the satisfaction of the Youth of the City. n v ... "... v u Mayor Armstrong said he was dovm to the Youth Center Saturday Night and noticed that the group "las smaller then usual. Wayne Wolfe said this was primarily because of the young children that attended the Youth Center. 11ayor Armstrong said it may be possible to get something to entertain the younger children. He said that will have to be looked into. MISCELLANEOUS Mrs. Robert l~lell said she was not speaking for or against the Sewage Program, but there is a letter that has been circulated concerning the Sewage Program that has no signatures on it. She said she didn't think it was fair to send out a letter without someones signature on it. She said she has lived in Edgewater a number of years and there have been many of these unsigned letters through these years. Mayor Armstrong said that the letter Mrs. ~~ell was referring to has only one paragraph in it that is true and correct. All the rest has errors. He said he didn't think the letter would have too much effect on the election. Mayor Armstrong said he talked to 11r. Ralph Miller, Postmaster, and he said that there is nothing that can be done about these letters, since the letter was sent first class mail. 11ayor Armstrong reminded everyone that there is an election tomorrow and urged everyone to vote.
