Session 1265, Minutes Page 9 December 22, 1980 Mayor Mooney called for a roll call on Mr. Kelley's motion, with the following re- sult: AYES: Councilmembers Metcalfe and Kelley. NAYS: Councilmembers Sabol, Thompson, Lieberman, Adams, and Mayor Mooney. The motion was defeated by a vote of five to two. Mrs. Metcalfe said she felt Mr. Adams' suggestion was excellent, and that every councilmember who proposed changes in the bill should put them in writing and send to all Councilmembers for their perusal and reaction before the next council meet- ing. She also said she felt that the Council should take as much time as all mem- bers felt was needed, and not try to rush through passage, since the effect of the ordinance will last 15 years and will affect all citizen subscribers. Mr. 011endorff said he felt the Council should continue the discussion of the bill and try to make as much progress as possible at this meeting. On page 16, Article I, Section 17 d), Mr. Kelley moved to add the phrase "lists the names and addresses of such subscribers or" in the third line of the paragraph be- tween the words "which" and "identifies." Mr. 011endorff agreed that amendment should be made. Mr. Schleyer noted that there were times when it was necessary for the company to make labels available to their vendors so they may be put on .,)vie guides, etc., so vendors would get a list, but they are not used for any other pur- pose. Mr. Kelley said he would change his amendment to read "involved to sell any list of the names and addresses of such subscriber or sell or otherwise make avail- able to any party any list which identifies the viewing habits of individual sub- scribers" in the second line after the word "subscriber." Mr. 011endorff concurred. Mrs. Metcalfe seconded the motion. Upon roll call, the following vote was recorded: AYES: Councilmembers Kelley and Metcalfe.

Mrs. Metcalfe had comments and possible amendments she wished to make, but said if the Council was not receptive to consideration of those comments unless they were in writing, she would be happy to put them in writing for consideration at the next Council meeting. No one objected to her continuing, although Mr. Sabol and Mrs. Thompson said they were ready to vote on the bill. Mayor Mooney said discussion would continue. Mr. Adams said he felt Councilmembers should submit proposed changes in writing to the rest of the Council, so there will be time to study thoserchanges. He felt this was essential, particularly in a bill of this magnitude of importance to the City and its citizens. Mrs. Metcalfe felt she and Mr. Kelley should put their revisions in writing so both the Council and Continental will have an opportunity to look over the proposed changes and comment on their applicability. She felt the bill needed to rest for -a short time and should not be passed at this meeting under any circumstances. She _ felt much of the public was not aware that the bill was being considered and it would also give them an opportunity to comment. Mr. Sabol said he felt a time limit should be set so the bill can be passed. Mr.. Adams concurred. Mayor Mooney noted that all were eager to pass the bill, but the
