<br /> II Mayor Anderson announced that discussion would be limited to two minutes per person on anyone
<br /> :'
<br /> 'I section and three minutes per person on general discussion of the entire guidelines as revised.
<br /> II
<br /> Ii Mr. Martin, Assistant City Manager, commented that, as a result of a question posed the evening II
<br /> II before regarding a restaurant license, a check was made and it was determined that, rather than
<br /> il a Class license for this purpose, the section should read "an annual or temporary restaurant license I,
<br /> !I is required, as issued by the Department of Health and Sanitation of Lane County." II e
<br /> Ii II
<br /> This change was made by consensus of the Council.
<br /> Ii I
<br /> Ii D-5 - Policing - In all instances where added police service is required by an association or \
<br /> II business activity, a charge is made for the service. If, in light of prior activities, it is felt II
<br /> I! additional police will be needed, a charge will be made.

<br /> . '
<br /> ,I Charles Purkovitz, 455 East ,19th, asked what standard would be used to determlne the cost and whether i
<br /> '\ it would be necessary to hav~ additional police available. The Assistant City Manager said it would !
<br /> I: be based primarily on experience and the nature of the activity itself, estimates of those organizingi
<br /> II the activity and city experience in dealing with similar types of activity. In the event there ,
<br /> :1 proved to be no need for the police, the money deposited would be refunded. I
<br /> I,
<br /> II
<br /> Robert Harris, 2745 Harris, asked if an individual could provide his own police force. The Asst.
<br /> II
<br /> Manager felt this could be allowed if the organization could demonstrate to the satisfaction of I
<br /> i; the Chief of Police that it was capable of policing itself. I
<br /> I
<br /> I Mr. Harris had not heard any mention concerning D-4, and was told there had been none because the
<br /> ,I Council had decided that commercial activities would be allowe~:in the mall under permit.
<br /> II
<br /> il C. Smi th, 169 Foch, felt citizens already paid for police and they should not be required to
<br /> II T.
<br /> pay additionally. It~was explained that this involved extraordinary police service because of
<br /> extra activity, and that this was common practice in the city. ,
<br /> II I
<br /> I
<br /> I
<br /> John Norham, 1992 Potter, expressed concern about the number of police required and Mark Harster, i
<br /> I
<br /> II 458 West 12th, asked how much this service would cost. Mayor Anderson told him the charge would !I
<br /> II be $6.00 per hour per officer. Members of the staff would sit down with representatives of the
<br /> II
<br /> :1 organization and decide what protection would probably be required. 'I
<br /> I: II
<br /> :1 George Skie, 400 West 22nd, said his business many times required extra police and that he had 1;
<br /> "
<br /> i' I
<br /> I' always paid for them. [

<br /> I'
<br /> II E-2 - Permit Procedure - This proposal was suggested by the Council earlier to allow publication
<br /> ,I
<br /> I, or a calendar of events which had been issued permits.
<br /> "
<br /> 11
<br /> 'I
<br /> I, Cynthia Purkovitz, 345 East 19th, asked if the application could be submitted in advance of seven
<br /> il I
<br /> Ii days. Assistant Manager felt this would be encouraged.
<br /> I
<br /> 'I !
<br /> II Mike Kennelson, l69 Foch, asked if no app~ication had been submitted for a given Saturday night, i
<br /> II if an organization which had just previously used the mall could book it again. Assistant Manager e
<br /> said the City would try to work with any organization asking for a reasonable use. I
<br /> il II
<br /> The right of the Council to limit discussion was questioned. Mr. Mohr commented that Roberts
<br /> "
<br /> "
<br /> I' Rules of Order apply only to the legislative body, and if the body wishes to extend certain
<br /> ,I I
<br /> I, privileges to others to participate in the process, it may do so at its own discretion. There I
<br /> I: j
<br /> is no language in the charter or constitution which specifies how the rules should apply. I
<br /> Ii I
<br /> Ii Paul Bessler, 1012 West 8th, was concerned that a date could be booked in advance, and if another I
<br /> ,I I
<br /> :1
<br /> Ii more desirable group requested that date, the original scheduling could be changed. Assistant :1
<br /> Ii Manager said if a permit had been issued; this could not happen. il
<br /> I'
<br /> it II
<br /> II Mrs. Beal moved seconded by Mr. Williams that the phrase "at least" be inserted prior to the II
<br /> I. I[
<br /> II words "seven days. " Motion carried.
<br /> d I
<br /> il \1
<br /> Ii Mr. Mohr moved seconded by Mrs. Beal to add the words "except as provided in other sections" ,I
<br /> 'I I, I
<br /> 'I
<br /> II before the entire section. Mr. Mohr explained that there was a certain set of standards in the I'
<br /> I,
<br /> II section on permits and he felt there should be a special permit section just for organized dancing II
<br /> activities. This language would except from the general permit rules application for permits for 'I
<br /> I' 11
<br /> ,I dancing, which would be defined in Section 4-b.
<br /> I il
<br /> ! John Overholzer, who lives above Mattox Pipe Shop, could see no reason to limit dances, since a
<br /> ;
<br /> !
<br /> substantial number of requests have been received. I
<br /> j
<br /> I Vince Farina, l407 East 2lst, said he appreciated dancing, but felt allowances should be made so e
<br /> !I that all types of dances could be held in the mall.
