44 :1 Council discussion followed in which it was rated that the intention was for students to participate not only in regularly scheduled meetings , but also in special committee meetings . The fact that they will have access to privileged material would disqualify them from the prerogative of addressing the Council or Commission from the podium . It was brought out by Councilman Arnett that in some instances , such as Park and Recreation Commission , where meetings are not held on a weekly basis , there would be a disparity in the time involved in participating in the several categories of scheduled meetings , and a supplementary program should be developed to equalize this for the purpose of academic credits . Councilman Petersen expressed support for the program , but felt that having the students seated at the Council table would interfere with the procedures of conducting City business , that it would be crowded as well as cumbersome . Other members agreed that accomodating such a large number of persons at the Council table could pose a difficult problem , and it was suggested that a table closely situated to the Council might be a solution . Council also expressed the belief that they were entering on a good program , and that to be successful , it will have to hold the interest of the students , and that sitting with the Council and participating would more likely stim- ulate such interest than sitting in the audience . It was recognized that there was the disadvantage of physical limitations in the seating , but that if there is sufficient interest in making the program a success , this can be worked out . Councilman Henderson moved to accept the report and authorize implementation of the program, seconded by Councilman Keckly . Councilman Petersen moved to amend the motion , to exclude students being seated with Council or Commissioners , seconded by Councilman Rosselli . Councilman Keckley , speaking in opposition to the amendment , stated that , as the program goes along , procedures could be changed at any time by Council . Mrs . Artie Ree Morgan , 34 Center Street , membeof the Park and Recreation Commission , advised Council of her objections to having the administrative body of the City , while City business is being considered , being distracted by having persons other than elected officers seated at the Council table . Amended motion lost on roll call vote , Councilmen Arnett , Henderson , Keckley , Rosselli , and Weymouth voting no , Councilman Petersen and Mayor Bury voting yes . Original motion to accept report carried on roll call vote , Councilmen Arnett , Henderson , Keckley , Rosselli , Weymouth and Mayor Bury voting yes , Councilman Petersen voting no .
