amendment to the ordinance indicating that the
provisions are not to be retroactive beyond this
campaign.
David Shores addressed the Council and asked that
Mayor Ryckoff and Mayor Pro Tem Williams refrain
from voting on the ordinance.
Mayor Pro Tem Williams read the following state-
ment for the record: "Although our existing
campaign contribution limitation ordinance sets
limits at $200.00 contributor per candidate, in
reality we are finding that it's quite possible
for one person to contribute $200.00 to each of
several PAC's which are not under control of
he candidate, yet support him.
The tent of the proposed ordinance, as I see it,
is to .-use contributors to operate within the
spirit o the existing ordinance - beginning with
the presen election."
Councilman Hea 'er stated that she would not
support the motio', and made the following state-
ment for the recor. "I feel that this is a
self-serving ordinanc: for incumbent Councilmen,
and that it deals only th financial interests
rather than special inter==ts, which sometimes
seem to weigh more heavily ••on Council decisions
than purely financial interes -."
