In response to a question from Mr. Lee, Police Chief Hill explained that Oregon law imposed a curfew between midnight and 4 a.m. on unsupervised youth under the age of 18. Ms. Taylor moved, seconded by Mr. Lee, to amend Council Bill 4654 by adding a section to provide that the ordinance would be repealed automatically on March 31, 1999. Ms. Taylor stated that she favored the "sunset clause" to require a review of the mall closure proposal. In response to a question from Ms. Swanson Gribskov, Mr. Klein stated that language could be added to the bill as directed by the motion which would repeal only the portion of Section 4.680 related to closure of the mall. Mr. Fart stated that he would support the amendment because he believed the downtown mall was different than other parks of the City. The motion to amend was adopted, 7:1, with Mr. Tollenaar voting no. Mr. Klein stated that adoption of the amendment had changed the original motion from being for final passage to approving its first reading and that a unanimous vote of the council was required to enable its final adoption at the current meeting. The motion to approve the first reading of amended Council Bill 4654 was adopted, 7:1, with Mr. Lee voting no. Mr. Lee stated that, out of courtesy to the will of the council, he would change his vote on the motion to yes, providing a unanimous vote.
