Council Minutes of June 15, 1999 Nicole Waffen, representing A Child's View Day Care Center, said she had spoken to Council about a year ago when Horizon was applying for a different grant. What surprises her is that Council members are looking to make a decision on the loan giving their benefit of approval because she knows that many of them haven't been to all of the centers in the area She believes this should be done since this decision basically says that the community supports Horizon Day Care. There are a lot of other centers that have not been seen. Does Council know what they are putting their stamp of approval on? This decision may put other centers in jeopardy of losing children. Business is already hard enough--her school pays $82,000 a year in rent as opposed to Horizon's $1. She cannot pay her staff as well, and she does have to put money back into the center. She loves her center and the children that are there. Mrs. Waffen believes that Council should make an effort to visit the other schools.
