e Ms. Wooten moved, seconded by Ms. Bascom that the bill, with unanimous consent of the council, be read the second time by council bill number only, and that enactment be considered at this time. The bill was read a second time by council bill number only. Mr. Rutan moved, seconded by Ms. Bascom, to amend the ordinance, Section 2, Subsection (14), to indicate a fine not to exceed $500. Ms. Wooten suggested that the citation of someone interfering with the 9-1-1 system should be dependent on whether the act is deliberate or accidental. She considered $1,000 an appropriate fine in the case of deliberate interference. Mr. Sercombe referred to the State offense of initiating a false report that he said is roughly parallel to this offense. The City is required to bring its criminal laws into conformance with State law in terms of penalty. The City's Prosecutor has advised that there may be a dollar-height issue, but the risk associated with the $1,000 fine would be small. Responding to Mr. Rutan's point that $500 is a substantive fine, Ms. Schue commented that $1,000 would be a maximum penalty, with its imposition left to the discretion of the court. e Roll call vote; the motion to amend carried 5:3, with Councilors Bennett, Bascom, Rutan, Holmer, and Miller voting aye; and Councilors Ehrman, Schue, and Wooten voting against.
