Legal 1) Ordinance Amendment Mr. Butler reported on the problems with the,:r- Ordinance Amendments: we need to incorporate` language to be able to accept preservation or facade easements; the penalty provision in our amendment is acceptable if it is made clear that it refers only to Section 6.5 of the amendment; and the Commission cannot bring court injunctions on its own but must go through the city or county council. In cases where the city or county owns the building and injunctive relief is sought, action will have to be taken on a case by case basis keeping in mind the Commission's limited funds.
