A majority at the time felt it <br />was appropriate to establish certain standard of decorum for public matters. The ACLU got involved <br />after the passage claiming the bill abridged freedom of speech. Rather than go to court the Council with <br />this bill asks that the social policy be continued indefinitely. <br />Tim Scott, Aladean DeRose the City's Chief Deputy Attorney and Council Attorney Kathy Cekanski- <br />Farrand explained this legal compromise claiming the ACLU was in agreement with the continuance. <br />On a motion to recommend 15 -06 to Council favorably by David Varner, seconded by Karen White and <br />affirmed by all this was favorably sent. <br />Gavin Ferlic Adjourned the meeting at 5:39 P.M. <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br />G� <br />Gavin Ferlic, Chairperson <br />Information & Technology Committee <br />
