RECONSIDERATION OF BILL NO. 7392 Councilman Kelley asked if someone who voted in the majority would move to reconsid- er Bill No. 7392, in view of the fact that Mr. Schlafman did not get a chance to voice his concerns when the bill was being considered. Councilman Metcalfe said, with all due respect to Mr. Schlafman, that she did not feel that was necessary, since it is the responsibility of the person who wishes to speak to get his request in in a timely manner. She felt the Mayor and Council exhibit great flexibility when it comes to allowing citizens to speak on issues before the Council. - RETIREMENT OF COUNCILMAN GLICKERT Councilman Glickert announced that she does not plan to run for reelection to the Council in the April 1, 1980 election. firs.
