PUBLIC
CONCERNS USE OF COMMUNITY BUILDING FOR POLITICAL MEETINGS
Margaret Byrd, 158 N. "B" Street, asked if there were regulations for
use of the Community Building for political meetings.
Dan Blankenship, City Administrator, responded that when the building was
originally constructed, the Council's polioy was to not allow political
meetings but this was not put in writing. Staff was contacted about using
the building for a political dinner and staff contacted the City Attorney's
office and there were no written rules to prohibit it. Mr. Blankenship was
not available for consultation and permission was granted.
It was moved by Saltarelli, seconded by Schuster, that staff should submit
a written policy or resolution to the 'Council for their approval that the
Community Building or public buildings were not to be used for political
meetings to raise money.
Councilwoman Kennedy was concerned that the City would be accused of
favoritism if they did not let other candidates use the building after
one candidate had already used it.
The City Administrator explained that this was not a new policy but was an
old policy that was being put in writing so that future uses of the
buildings would conform tothe Council's policies.
Mrs. Kennedy asked to be informed if any other candidate requested the use
of the building. '
Motion carried 5-0.
