City Manager Johnson asked the council to consider Council Bill 4768 by number only. Councilor Taylor, seconded by Councilor Kelly, moved that the bill be approved and given final passage. Councilor Rayor recognized that there was a civil rights issue involved with the ordinance. He remarked on the difficulty of making a decision on "how to get the bad apples out of the general population." He remarked that there had to be a better way than creating special exclusion districts wherever there was a problem. The motion passed 5:2, with councilors Taylor and Kelly voting in opposition. IV. ACTION: An Ordinance Concerning Alarm Systems; Renumbering and Amending Section 4.933 and Adding it to Section 3.005 of the Eugene Code, 1971; Amending and Renumbering Sections 4.935, 4.936, and 4.937 of the Eugene Code, 1971 to 3.105, 3.110, 3.115; Amending Sections 3.990, and 4.990 of that code; Repealing Section 4.934 of that Code; and Adding a New Section, 3.100, to the Eugene Code, 1971 In response to a question from Councilor Rayor regarding why the ordinance took effect on the second false alarm, Terry Smith of the Eugene Police Department said that the goal was a significant reduction in false alarms. He stressed that the ordinance needed to have an effect in a short amount of time or it would not achieve that significant reduction. He noted that the first fee (for the second false alarm), would be set fairly low but would constitute a firmer warning than a written notice. City Manager Johnson asked the council to consider Council Bill 4769, an ordinance concerning alarm systems; renumbering and amending Section 4.933 and adding it to Section 3.005 of the Eugene Code, 1971; amending and renumbering Sections 4.935, 4.936, and 4.937 of the Eugene Code, 1971 to 3.105, 3.110, 3.115; amending Sections 3.990, and 4.990 of that code; repealing section 4.934 of that code; and adding a new Section, 3.100, to the Eugene Code, 1971. Councilor Taylor, seconded by Councilor Kelly, moved that the bill, with unanimous consent of the council, be read a second time by council bill number only, and that enactment be considered at that time. The motion passed unanimously. City Manager Johnson asked the council to consider Council Bill 4769 by number only.
