<br />PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR
<br />Mr. Donald Molnar, 234 E. Haney, spoke on behalf of Little League Baseball. He told the Council
<br />that he was not permitted to have a fund raising smoker, since it would be raided. He said the
<br />expenses of Little League have doubled, and the program would be in trouble if events such as this
<br />were banned. He said the Little League should receive support from the Council and the Administra
<br />tion. He said they did not want to do battle with the Administration, and they only wanted clari-
<br />fication of the statute. He said another organization held a smoker the same night theirs was
<br />scheduled and were not raided, and he wanted to know if the Little League was being singled out.
<br />He asked where the concern was for the youth of the community.
<br />Council President Parent said the Council's main function was that of legislation. He said this
<br />was a matter of decision making by the mayor, city attorney and the police. He said he would like
<br />to hear from the city attorney, mayor and chief of police, and if in fact there is going to be a
<br />"crack- down" he said he would like them to speak to the issue.
<br />Mr. Michael Carrington, administrative assistant to the mayor, said this was not a popular positio
<br />He said any way you slice this, it is against the law, the city has no alternative but to enforce
<br />the law. He said unfortunately we cannot make distinction as to whether it is a good cause or a
<br />bad cause.
<br />Council President Parent indicated Mr. Carrington's answer did not hold water. Mr. Carrington as
<br />if they were supposed to tell people they agreed with gambling. Council President Parent said he
<br />would be willing to give him more time to think this out further and get a final answer to Mr.
<br />Molnar's question.
<br />Council Member Szymkowiak asked if bingo was illegal. Mr. Carrington asked if Council was willing
<br />to pass an ordinance for the administration to look the other way.
