Session 868, Minutes June 19, 196f and get ~le matter ironed out. Page 2~'~ Councilman Lieberman said as he understands it, when this type of com- munication reaches City Hall, either through the City Manager's office, the City Clerk's office or the I,~yor, this type of communication is generally passed on unless it is an inadvertent accident. Councilman Bambur§ asked him whether he thinks this was just happenstance and Coun- cilman Lieberman answered affirmatively. Mayor Kaufman said he knows that Mr. Frank is in Councilman Bamburg's law office and if there is one letter, of course, that he would have wanted transmitted to the members of the Council it would have been that one communication, but insofar as the Library Board is concerned, what Councilman Bamburg probably doesn't know are the conversations he has had with the President of the Library Board, conversations with Mr. Sigoloff (attorney), conversations with the President of the School Board and with City Manager Henry on this matter for the purpose of pushing it with great speed and dispatch, but Councilman Bamburg seems inclined to take one letter and draw a very grave picture. Councilman Woods said she sees no really useful point in the kind of motion proposed by Councilman Bamburg. She said she thinks the Mayor would be receptive if there is any kind of mechanical problem involved and she is confident if themwas any difficulty with this letter she would not even consider the suggestion that it was an intentional one. She said if copies are not received due to the fact that an individual is not there, perhaps there should be some procedure, but this is some- thing that can be ironed out. City Manager Henry said it is very possible that Mrs. Ulrici (head of the Library) brought the letter in and dropped it on his desk, although he doesn't want to blame anyone, and someh~ it didn't get delivered. He pointed out that this can happen. Councilman Bamburg said there is a little bit of background which hasn't been mentioned which had to do with the appointment of the Chairman of the Library Bond Issue Committee which is another matter affecting this Council, the ~yor and the Library Board, so there was that background and adding it all together it raised serious question in his mind, or he wouldn't have brought it up. Mayor Kaufman observed that he is not surprised that Councilman Bamburg brought it up. REQUEST FOR PREPARATION OF BILLS: Councilman Lieberman said that in connection with the matter of a public hearing held earlier this evening relating to five proposed amendments to the Zoning Code, he would like to request preparation of appropriate bills to follow through with the recommendations of the City Plan Commission. FINANCE STUDY C0t~tlTTEE: Councilman Lieberman requested that a letter of gratitude, on behalf of the Council, be sent to all members of the Finance Study Committee. It was pointed out that this has already been done. Councilman Lieberman expressed the view that the Committee did an outstanding Job.
