religious,educational and fraternal organizations.
Ann Carol-Simons, Assistant City Attorney, made the presentation. She noted that the
changes appear on page two with regard to licensing for restaurants and itinerant
restaurants for such charitable organizations.
The Council Attorney, Council President and Council Member Hosinski voiced concern
with regard to the removal of the proposed regulations. The Council Attorney
recommended that all charitable groups should be required to adhere to all Health and
Safety Regulations with only the fee dollar amount being waived. Council President Kelly
spoke in favor of such a revision.

presented.

licensing be recommended favorably. The motion passed.
