He felt it contributed to an improved outlook and that progress was being made. Mrs. Hayward asked for a report from the attorneys retained by the Council regard- ing possible court action in connection with field burning. Mr. McKinley said they had made a preliminary report on their progress, but more work was needed before bringing it to the Council. c. Liquor Control Commission Communication - Mayor Anderson read a letter from the Oregon Liquor Control Commission explaining their action in the Golden Canary tavern license hearing. He also read his reply; stating that it was his recommendation that the Council take action to seek guidelines from the Commission, and if these were not made available, that such reviewing procedure by local governments be more clearly defined in the Act itself, through action by the Legislature. He stated that the license application reviewing process should be public, whether by the City Council, County Government or Liquor Commission. Mrs. Hayward moved seconded by Mrs. Bea1 that the Council request some guidelines from the Oregon Liquor Control Commission in making recommendations, and that the Council should refuse to make recommendations unless they receive such guidelines. I The City Manager said he had corresponded with the Assistant Attorney General and suggested that if renewals were to be made on the basis of violation of statutes, there would be no point in City Council recommendation on renewals. probably the city's only function would be to supply police records. He suggested that it would be proper for the Council to make recommendations on new applications. - I' !i i: il iI I' il !i I' " I: !i I, II Ii " II I, Ii I: :t 'i ii I i: Ii Mr. McDona 1d moved ii Mo t ion carr ied .

Mrs. Hayward and Mrs. Bea1 withdrew the motion. d. Committee on Aging - Mr. Teague said the Committee on Aging had met and discussed methods of transportation for disabled or elderly.
