e e e M In response to a question from Mr. Lieuallen, Mr. Long said he did not see many diffi cul ti es in enforcement. He said there are thos'e who are irresponsible, but he thought that most of the seed farmers were responsible and will obey the law. They may challenge it in court, but will eventually abide by the law. Regarding the moisture control, he said this would be difficult to enforce. It will depend on voluntary compliance and examples made of those who do not comply. Mr. Bradley moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, to approve the report. Mr. Delay said he thought it important that Council recognize it has entered a new era in terms of dealing with this problem. The negoti- ations and discussions resulting in this program are much more rea- sonable, rational, and Objective in dealing with the situation. He said this was a way to deal with the air quality problem wtHh the participation of major contributers to that problem. He felt the main difficulty that had worked against the City and seed growers in coming to an agreement was the limited time. Also, he said Council should not feel at odds with the industry to the extent that has been .evidenced in the past. As this interim solution shows, the groups can cooperate. Vote was taken on the motion which carried unanimously. , F. CDC Finalists--Votes were taken for interviewing the finalists, for three vacancies on the CDC Committee.

Motion carried unanimously. Human Rights Staffing, 1978-79 Budget Priority No. 61--Memo distributed. Manager noted this item had been deleted by the Budget Committee, with agreement by Council at a meeting two weeks ago to discuss at this time. One of the concerns is circumventing the traditional budget procedure. Assistant Manager noted the situation before Council was that it needed to consider either restoring a position or making a major revamp of the organizational structure of the commissions. He directed Council's attention to the staff time as presented in the memo, which showed 61 percent was occupied by the commissions, with the remainder in the areas of legal obligations and general services to people coming into the 5/31/78--3 Lf03
