On Wednesday, the Occupy Reno members appeared before the Reno City Council. A 90-day permit was approved for the old municipal pool site on Moana Lane. The $35 per day ($1100 per month) fee was waived and the permit filing fee of $103 was donated by a City Councilman.

Some smugness and condescension was in the air, however, as the Councilman expressed doubts that many “occupiers” would turn out given that Reno’s winter temps are quickly taking hold.
