CONSIDERATION OF CODE AMENDMENT REGARDING PENALTIES FOR DEFRAUDING AN INNKEEPER (memo distributed) Mr. Gleason introduced Stan Long, City Attorney. Mr. Long explained that this was an amendment to the City Code which already includes a prohibition against defrauding an innkeeper. The amendment consists of a change in the penalty section. At this time, the maximum penalty for this type of theft is a $500 fine. The proposed change involved retaining the $500 fine and adding the pos- sibility of confinement in jail, not to exceed 10 days. The matter comes before council because the presiding municipal judge was sufficiently concerned to make the unusual request to the prosecutor that the City Council consider the matter. His Honor felt he did not have sufficient sentencing alternatives to deal with the kinds of offenses that were coming to him. The prosecutor reviewed the matter and included his own reasoning for believing that the sentencing alter- natives should be broadened. They prepared the ordinance on that basis. CB 2265--An ordinance concerning the penalty for violation of Section 4.930 of the Eugene Code, 1971; amending Section 4.990 of that code; and declaring an emergency. Ms. Smith moved, seconded by Mr. Lindberg, that the bill be read the second time by council bill number only, with unanimous consent of the council, and that enactment be considered at this time. Roll call vote; motion carried unanimously. Council Bill 2265 was read the second time by council bill number only. Ms. Smith moved, seconded by Mr. Lindberg, that the bill be approved and given final passage. Roll call vote; all councilors present voting aye, the bill was declared passed and numbered 18771.
