WWNC contacted me with questions about the Occupy Asheville
applications. He heard from someone at the site that there was not
going to be a request of Council to waive permit fees. Please see my
response below.

Hi Tank,



There have been two applications. There was a group of people
representing Occupy Asheville that met with staff before the initial
application was filed. It was during that Oct. 14 meeting that the
group articulated an intention to ask Council to waive some part of the
permit fees.



There was a second application filed with different names represented as
the event organizer. The second application was received last week and
rescinded the first one.



I’ve attached both permit applications to this email.



I’m in a meeting from 3-4:30 p.m. I’ll keep an eye on my mobile if you
have any follow up questions.



Best,





Dawa Hitch

Dawa,



I know Tom said he was going to email you on this too, but...



I need to know whose name is on the Occupy Asheville permit. I talked to
a man today down there that said his was but I thought a woman said on
TV the other day she had the permit. I just need to confirm for a story
we are going to run first thing tomorrow., so I need to know today.



Also the man said he had not heard that they would be asking for the
city to pick up the permit fees. He said he was in the meetings with the
city and doesn't recall that being said. The memorandum from Jeff
Richardson says that will be asked for tomorrow at the Council meeting.
So I need to know who said they'd ask for that.
