Under Old Business: Mr. Woerpel spoke on a point of personal privilege and pointed out that at the Council Meeting of February l, 1983, when Ordinance No. 82-160 was defeated, some Members of Council indicated that they were dissatisfied with the ordinance as it was and would be happy to discuss it, have it amended or have it go back into committee to be rewarlced. Mrs. Petrigac took these statements to heart and came up with some amendments so the ordinance might be further discussed. This evening, along political lines, it was automa.tically, out of hand, dispensed with and Mr. Woerpel does not feel this is in the best interests of the comnunity. A lot of thought and work was put into reworking the legislation and it is un- fortunate that it was not even given a chance to be discussed. Mrs. Petrigac expressed her disappointment that the legislation was not further discussed; she was more than willing to further amend it in order to arrive at a solution that would be workable for all. Mrs. Saringer commented that the Legislative Committee feels that there is another piece of legislation on the agenda that is similar and the committee feels more comfortable with it; this being Ordinance No. 83-16, introduced by Mr. Wilaittosky. Mr. Woerpel disagreed that Mr. Wilamosky's legislation does the same thing as Ordinance No. 82-160; it adds nothing new; simply requires the same Feople who already are required to file a statement, to refile that exact same statement at a dif£erent locatian. Ordinance No. 82-160 would go beyond electcd officials and encompass those members of the City government who are not elected by the people but who still have control and direction over a large sum of tax dollzrs to also file. Mr. Wilamosky stated that Ordinance No. 82-160 was unsatisfactory to him in bringing responsible government and representation as well as information to the public; feels Ordinance No. 83-16 provides a vehicle to provide adequate information. Mr. Logan stated that his problem with Ordinance No. 82-160 was grimarily with the yes/no answers, where questions were asked as far as interest and officials could only answer yes or no; feels it would leave itself open to a wide variety of problems.
