Cauncilman Weiss read the f ollawing statement: o X �!*� I feel it would be a dereliction of du�ty on my part if I failed to make a canunent on this ammendment of our '�,�,,�t,� appropriation ordinance especiall,y in so far as it affects the increase to the Chamber of Commerce to assist ' � in defraying cests of the tri�p of the Merchants Team to Florida. When this matter was proposed I was labori_ng under what I must term a misunderstanding� that is to use the phrase used by some of rr�r colleagues� Our Good Ni�,yor: who pre5ented the request to us orally, indicated that approximate7.y six thousand dollars xas the total � � requirement for the tear�. Subsequently� after I had agreed with the others to nake the recommended five hun- , dred availa.ble� I fo�and out that the sights were raised to ten thousand dolla.rs� ar� thus permit a munber of free loaders to make the trip with the team. S�nce I have in good faith committed myself to this dubious contribution� I will stand and be counted. BUT I wish to have it understood that in the future I shall not �� acr.�uiesce to ar�y request or recomrnendation made orally. I believe that all requests for appropriations or � changes in appropriati�ns alreac�y mades as well as any other matter of importance involving policy action ""'� ' or legislative action should be submi�ted in writing an� should be accompanied by adequate data and substan- �'atior�. It i� agai.n to be noted tha� no prior information has been furnished the council on this question� nor has such information or report accompanied the agenda• Because of the nature of the sub�ect I do not deem it advisable to requsst the matter to be held over. In the ir�terest of orderly disposition of business of the Council. in the future such reports should accompany the agenda except in c ases of emergency. The motion carried.
