The group of Citizens representing East Fayetteville and tenants of the Housing development presented the protest for having been billed for excess use of electricity for the quarter ending December 31, 1971. It was pointed out to them that this provision was included in their lease contract which was signed by each tenant and that the Housing Authority was limited by mandate from HUD as to the amount of each apartment. Very little discussion ensued. The group were more concerned about the restriction by Public Health, City of Fayette- ville, and the Housing Authority from serving breakfast in the Community Building on a continuing basis to approximately a dozen children. The Public Health Director had advised them to cease this operation immediately The City Manager agreed to meet with repre- sentatives of the Group after he had been in touch with the avail- ability food service for young children by the local school system; the local Health Department; the Washington Country Welfare Depart- ment and a qualified nutrienist. The Manager pointed out that the City was in no position to spend the required amount of money it would take to bring the facility up to Public Health standards for public food service even if the Housing Authority agreed to the alteration. • Page 3 The responsibility of Community Services to be conducted in the Community facility provided by the Housing Authority and where this food service was being conducted is vested in the City of Fayetteville by formal agreement with the Housing Authority.
