<br />ORDINANCE

<br />This being the time heretofore set for public hearing on the above ordinance, proponents and
<br />opponents were given an opportunity to be heard thereon. Councilman Frederick D. Craven offered
<br />the following statement:
<br />"I signed this ordinance - doing so because I more or less believe in what it proposes
<br />to do and because I think it is proper and in the best interests of the City and of
<br />its citizen taxpayers.
<br />However, because of the late date of formal consideration by this Council and all of
<br />the ramifications involved - specifically about personnel realignment - I believe it
<br />proper for the "new" council and "new" administration to formally act on this. I
<br />urge their favorable consideration of this matter of re- structuring the department
<br />of Recreation and City Park Dept. along the lines set forth in this ordinance.
<br />In order that this Council take no action which may prejudice this ordinance in the
<br />minds of the "new" council or "new" administration, I move the ordinance be with-
<br />drawn."
