r —___ Joint Meeting of the Health&Public Safety Committee and the Residential Neighborhoods Committee August 13, 2001 Page 4 Council Member Kelly noted that he has no problem supporting the proposed ordinance based on the health and safety concerns which have been well documented, but voiced concern with regard to the provisions prohibiting sell over the ticket price in light of free enterprise. Dr. Varner noted that there are legitimate neighborhood concerns being raised, but that he too believes an individual has the right to resell. He noted that the overall ordinance was well intended. Council Member Ujdak stated that he has problems with regulating on the commerce side. He agreed with Council President Pfeifer that the behavior resulting from ticket scalping which she highlighted is unacceptable. He then read proposed changes to the bill and suggested that they be considered as a substitute(copy attached of amendments read). Following discussion, Council Member Ujdak made a motion, seconded by Council Member King that Substitute Bill No. 66-01 be amended as read by Council Member Ujdak. The motion passed.
