S-ineenety, S/ John Voorde Chaurman Mr. imtz: In our discussions we felt this might happen. I thought I made it very clear at the meeting a few weeks ago that under the ordinance, we made the only recommendation we could. If the City Council wants to do otherwise, that is fine but I do think they are going to have to amend the ordinance if this is going to be their desire. I have no.objection to that but I have certainly been against the Supreme Court and anybody else legislating when they are iot a legislative body, and I feel it is up tD the City Council to decide what the policies are to be. Mr. Ellison, what I would sugg st that we do is that the next time the City Council has a caucus that we attend and Bugg st that we have no objection to their char es if they so desire, but that they show d amend the ordinance. Mrs. Kolata: I had a meeting with Mr. Voorde and . Cekanski- Farrand in regard to this matt r and there has been talk of amending the Drdinance but it has not been along the lines that you have mentioned.
