Session 868, Minutes June 19, 1967 Page 17 Bill No. 6403AsAmendedl Co~tinued: Bill No. 6403 As Amended was given its second reading. Bill No. 6403 As Amended was given its third reading. Councilman Woods said she would like clarification on Chis point: her understanding is that the Prosecuting Attorney would come into this in the normal way if a complaint were filed and the City Counselor said that is correct. She said she did like the idea of the triple damages and City Counselor Horris pointed out that this appears in Councilman Bamburg's proposed Bill. Mayor Kaufman said he would like an opinion from City Counselor Morris on the validity of that provision (triple damages) and added that he has his own views on that but would like to have City Counselor Morris give the Council his Judgment on that - would like to have some cases on that. Councilman Woods said her question is whether it should be added to Bill No. 6403 As Amended, and the City Counselor said he has some doubts as to whether or not that can be done, but in any event he will have an opinion by next week on it. Councilman Bamburg said before a vote is taken on Bill No. 6403 As Amended, he would like to introduce his Bill and he would like the number to follow Councilman Epstein's Bill.

(Bills for Introduction, Continued on page 18) BILLS FOR ADOPTION AS ORDINANCES~.BILL NO. 6403 AS kMENDED~ Continued: Mayor Kaufman asked whether there is a motion to adopt Bill No. 6403 A~ Amended. Councilman Epstein said she is very anxious to get some kind of Bill passed and she stressed the importance of getting this matter resolved and settled once and for all; on the other hand, she continued, there have been some compelling arguments presented for Bill No. 6404 and perhaps some of the provisions of Bill Mo. 6404 could be included in Bill No. 6403 As Amended. However, if the rest of the Council wants to vote on it (Bill No. 6403 As Amended) she will vote on it too. The b~yor pointed out that there is a meeting of the Council scheduled for next week - if it is the desire of the Council to postpone action until next week they may do so and he inquired as to the pleasure of the Council. Discussion followed. Councilman Lleberman said he doesn't
