<br />C. Amending Code, Section 4.010 re: Aiding and Abetting
<br />(Committee April 19, 1972)
<br />Copies of a proposed ordinancf!l were previously distributed' to Council members.
<br />The amendment would broaden the Code and bring it into conformance with State
<br />law. Weakness of the City Code was brought out in complaint filed by the
<br />Human Rights Comndssion against the Register-Guard for segregation of help
<br />wanted ads on the basis of sex. The Ci ty Attorney feels the amendment is neces-
<br />sary in general law enforcement in the Ci ty, and not as a lever for the Commission.
<br />
<br />Assistant City Attorney Stan Long reviewed the proposed ordinance, saying the
<br />essential purposes are (1) to bring the City Code into line with State statute
<br />(2) remedial in that it directs itself to conduct without regard to prior
<br />agreement, and (3) to be able to prosecute participants in shoplifting inci-
<br />dents other than the person with stolen articles in possession.
<br />
<br />Mr." Bradshaw asked what review the ordinance had other than the attorney's,
<br />and was informed it was reviewed by the Police Department and Manager's office
<br />prior to pres~ntation to the Council.

<br />Considerable discussion followed with regard to' scope of the amendment with
<br />respect to "aiding_ and abetting" ~i th Mr. Long explaining differences between
<br />"knowledge," "direction," or "negligen'ce," and appli'cations in various types
<br />of violations of the Code. Mr. Williams asked if deletion of the words "know-
<br />ingly tolerated" would significantLy 'weaken the ordinance. Mr. Long ci ted a
<br />recent case of a firm working on City streets without permit, safety guards,
<br />signs, etc., ,and said it would have been difficult to correct.
<br />
<br />Discussion continued on' scope of intent, and the City Attorney said Oregon law
<br />adopted last year tends to move' away from traditional conspiracy 'analysis to
