PUBLIC HEARING - BINGO Mayor Evans announced
ORDINANCE NO. NS-1396 AS that this was the time
AMENDED - 1ST READING and place for the public
hearing of a Proposed
Ordinance to regulate bingo playing in the City.
Police Chief Raymond Davis introduced Judy Ryan, Police Legal
Advisor, who outlined memorandums dated November 9 and November 3,
1977, included in the Council Agenda packet.
The names of interested persons attending a meeting held on
October 27, 1977 were listed and a section-by-section documenta-
tion of all input from represented organizations was also pro-
vided. Mrs. Ryan stated that as a result of the meeting,
Section 10-61.1 was expanded, Section 10-61.1(f) was deleted,
and Section 10-61.4(f) was modified, as noted in the November 3,
1977 memorandum from Lieutenant Robert Hamilton to Police Chief
Davis.
Mayor Evans asked for comments from the audience and the following
persons responded:
David Rioux, Immaculate Heart of Mary Church, stated that his
organization can live with the ordinance; that they had made
$30,000 last year playing bingo one night per week; and that
they appreciate being able to raise the funds to support their
school.
Father John G. Campbell, Saint Anne's Church, speaking in favor
of the ordinance, stated that it would enable private charitable
organizations to earn money that might otherwise need to be
raised with taxes.
Richard Earnhart, 9902 Cockatoo Lane, Garden Grove, speaking for
Santa Ana Moose Lodge #1025, spoke in favor of the ordinance.
Harold Heinly, American Legion Post 131, spoke in opposition
a number of provisions of the ordinance, as documented by the
memorandum of November 3, 1977.
tO
Dori Abler, YWCA, spoke in favor of a three-day per week limita-
tion in order to allow charitable organizations to earn needed
funding for worthwhile programs.
Bonnie Canale, Big Sisters of Orange County, 1411 N. Broadway,
also urged a change to the three-day per week limitation to sup-
port their program.
In answer to Councilman Ward's question, Chief Davis explained
that it was his feeling that to permit more than two days per
week operation would encourage commercial-type operations to
enter the City; that the ordinance as written now would allow
12 additional days per year for each organization to be used for
special events.
There being no further speaker, the public hearing was closed
by Mayor Evans.
On the motion of Councilman Ortiz, seconded by Councilman Ward,
the following ordinance was placed on first reading by a 4:3 vote,
with Councilmen Garthe, Yamamoto and Bricken dissenting, with the
modifications that each qualified organization will be allowed
to play bingo three days per week, and that Section 10-59.1(b),
prohibiting more than one organization from using a certain
location, be deleted:

Mrs. Earish provided Council with a color brochure entitled "Life
or Death", and after describing various abortion procedures she
stated that the members of her organization feel strongly that
when a child is conceived, a choice has been made and to take the
life of an unborn child is immoral. Mr. Allen stated that he
thought it the duty of public officials to speak out loud and
clear on matters of morals and ethics, and he gave Biblical cita-
tions to support his position (Luke 11:51-S2; Matthew 25:31-46;
and Revelations 3:16). Mr. Knight also stated that there is no
reason why the Council cannot speak out on the issue, and he cited
President Carter's position on human rights as an example of such
action by a public official. Comments by Anne Eamalaro and
Warren Booth were supportive of the positions taken.

the Council taking a position on this matter.
