ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
RABBITS ON BROADWAY - (Continued)
The City Attorney asked if Council would like a report on the matter and read
portions of Municipal Code Section 5.6, and pointed out that he would be glad
to review the matter and give a recommendation, however, that he felt that any
attempt to change the present ordinance would be fraught with problems in that
there are so many differences of opinion among residents with respect to the
raising of anirnalso
Councilman Markel then requested that the Department of Public Works make a
thorough investigation of the residence located at 1324 S. Broadway, and Mr.
Wolford stated that this would be done.
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Councilman Herrin referred to the
REVENUE SHARING big "windfall" that had come to the
City from the Federal Government,
and commented, on his feelings relative to revenue sharing. He stated that it had
come as a big surprise to him to hear Representative Hanna point out that revenue
sharing does have strings attached, and that very possibly Washington might decide
to change its mind even before it happens. He further stated that it seemed to him
that the Federal Government was always deliberately trying to disregard States'
rights and home rulei that revenue sharing was a concept of a socialist economy
which has no basis related to reality; that the majority of the people do not know
the difference between private funds and public funds; that every time the government
opens up a new office, it is sucking the blood of the economy out of the entire
system; that even though services are being provided to people, the economy suffers;
and that freedom is the most important ingredient.
He moved that Council review revenue sharing because government cannot give
us money that it does not have.
There was no second to this motion, and Mayor Griset stated that integrity would
demand that he vote against such a motion.
RECESS At ~:10 P. M., the Council meeting was
