Sue Eubanks, Diane Upchurch, and Evelyn Glass made a written
request for free use of the Civic Center on Christmas Day. They
wanted to prepare and serve a Christmas Dinner to the elderly and
the needy at no charge. Several of the councilmembers commended
the ladies on this worthy project, however, they suggested that
some other location be sought since the use of the Civic Center
would require the presence of three or more City Employees thus
depriving those employees of the one Holiday all employees plan
to spend with their families. There would also be City expense,
and both these situations might not be true at a local Church or
Civic Hall. One of the ladies was present and she said she
understood.. She said they had sought the use of the Civic Center
first and would now contact other organizations.

request to be placed in charge again this year for the Fourth of

by Councilman Shull, motion passed unanimously.
Councilman Bishop moved to authorize the Mayor to execute
an extension of the SEPA.contract for one month (to 12/31/84) and
for any future extensions until new contract is prepared. Seconded
by Councilman Shull, motion passed unanimously.
