Oravetz stated it sounds like they have a really good thing going. He asked why <br />they don't get a daycare license? <br />Mr. Pfund stated this is not what he does.

They are exempt in the same way. <br />CITY COUNCIL :MINUTES <br />VOLUME 22 <br />REGULAR YIEETI~IG <br />September 2,10U3 <br />PAGE 566 <br />
