vote is because she does not think that the City should, by
direction, cut off the ability of the city to communicate in any
official way with regard to City policies to organizations, even
if those organizations happen to discriminate in their membership
pOlicies; she thinks that there are often times when the City,
either the public officials or the employees of the City, are in
a role of needing to communicate with organizations about items
of public policy, and she does not believe that we should, by

matter the proposition that Council support the investigation of

Monica low or affordable cost health insurance; that this be put
on the social agenda and kept as an item of ongoing concern, one
that Council should try to tackle in 1987; that this be done in a
number of ways -- work together with professors at UCLA School of
Public Health who are working on this problem and instruct the
lobbyist in Sacramento to follow Assemblyman Hauser I s upcoming
proposed legislation; and if apropriate, lobby in support of such
state legislation, try to rally the support of other communities,
and in general, to do whatever can be done to try to develop ways
and means of helping the citizenry acquire access to health
insurance. Second by Councilmember Zane. Discussion was held.
During discussion, Councilmernber Finkel clarified that the spirit
of his proposal is that Council ask our lobbyist to get raw
materials from sacramento when the Hauser legislation is
introduced; Council should then make a judgment as to whether it
is what it appears to be and whether Council can or should relate
to it, and, if it is a meaningful way to advance the case, more
concrete steps should be taken at that time. Councilmember Reed
moved to hear from a member of the public. Second by Mayor Pro
