<br />Mrs. Beal asked fqr Council's reaction to iclea of, gl vln,g provision~l'..approv<';l.l,tp. .licenses
<br />for those establishments which may be practicing discrimination both in membership re-
<br />quirements and in service, with the idea of withholding approval of the liquor license
<br />if the practice is not changed before July .1 of next year. ,She said she felt that the
<br />Council's response to the Human Rights Commission request for the I).on-,disc.rimination
<br />affidavit was affirmative, and that it was the purpose of the;~subcominittee to work out
<br />ways and means of~dministering the policy of withholding approval unless non-discrimina-
<br />tion is practiced.
<br />
<br />Councilman Williams, appointed chairman. of the sUbcommittee to meet with Commission members,
<br />said that was not his understanding; that the committee was to consider the Commission's
<br />request, evaluate it, and bring recommendations to the Council. He said there are legal
<br />and philosophical questions to be resolved before proper control can be established.
<br />
<br />Mayor Ande'r,'son compared the operation of the Human Rights Commission to that of the
<br />Planning Commission where items of mutual interest 'are resolved in joint sessions ; he
<br />said he doesn't feel this committee was instructed to bring back a directed decision.
<br />To withhold approval of liquor license applications at this point may involve legal im-
<br />plications since the applicants ,have fulfilled present legal requirements, and they are
<br />entitled to approval or rejection. Through annual renewal process t~e Council will have
<br />the opportunity to solve such problems in due time.
<br />
<br />Councilman Mohr commented that, w:ith one exception th,?sE; licenses listed are now required
<br />by law to provide non-discriminatory service.
<br />
<br />.
<br />
<br />Vote was taken on the motion to recommend approval. Motion carried unanimously.

<br />
<br />Councilman McDonald commented on the suggestion of informal pUblic hearing on ,the budget
<br />at the June 12, 1972 meeting prior to the regular advertised budget hearing of June 26, 1972.
<br />He said, with Mrs. Beal's concurrence, he could see no particular advantage, and because of
<br />the several controversial items scheduled for discussion at the June 12 meeting, it would
<br />not seem an appropriate time.
<br />
<br />Manager said the informal pUblic hearing was suggested to give an opportunity to explain high-
<br />lights of the budget which in turn would gain helpful news rep~rting. He suggested that it be
<br />listed at the first part of the public hearing section, assuming it would not take too much time.
<br />The official hearing still will be held on June 26.
<br />
<br />Mr. Mohr moved seconded by Mrs; Beal to hold an informal pUblic hearing June.12, 1972
<br />to consider levy outside the 6% limitation. Motion carried.

<br />IV - ORDINANCES
<br />Manager reviewed various actions on the City's part in attempting to gain recertification
<br />of the City's Workable Program. As a result of numerous letters, telephone calls, and a meet-
<br />ing between City personnel and HUD officials, the City was told if minor Code changes were
<br />adopted along with 1971 Uniform Fire Code and HUD advised of those adoptions, the Workable
<br />Program would be recertified today, permitting continuance of Federally-funded programs now
<br />in :progress.
