306 Conference of a Commission member if it were not primarily concerned with finances . Councilman Henderson indicated agreement with views expressed as to responsibility of Council to determine financing matters , and felt it imperative that a Council member attend this Conference . She moved to deny request of Park and Recreation Commission for a Commission delegate to attend this Conference , seconded by Councilman Petersen and carried on roll call vote , Councilmen Henderson , Keckley and Petersen voting yes , Councilman Arnett and Mayor Bury voting no , Councilmen Rosselli and Weymouth being noted absent . ( MINUTE ORDER #69- 65 ) , Councilman Arnett related how , from past experience with Park and Recreation Com- mission , confusion existed on relationship of Commission to Council and wondered if a review of this situation might not be helpful , or even a joint meeting of Council with this Commission might clarify relationships . City Attorney , in response to question of Commission formations , advised of the establishment of Park and Recreation Commission by Code and the Planning Commission by Charter , and reviewed briefly how responsibilities defined . Mayor Bury noted that a request had also been received from the Park and Recreation Commission for an opportunity to appear before Council during Budget meeting , before Park and Recreation Budget finalized . Council consensus indicated budget considera- tions recommended through City Manager, and appearance by Commissions and Departments only if requested by Council . Legislative Committee Report Councilman Henderson , Chairman , reported proposed legislation had been reviewed by the Legislative Committee , with their recommendations as submitted to Council , summarized as follows : S .B . 310 would prohibit cities from requiring licenses and imposing fees with respect to cafe musicians , thereby ex- cluding a taxable item from local ordinances and resulting in a loss of revenue Committee recommends opposition , consistent with prior recommendations relating to similar legislation . S .B . 208 proposing to add a new section to the Labor Code to provide that heart trouble suffered by certain safety workers ( fire and police ) would be conclusively presumed to have arisen out of and in the course of their employment where serving ten years or more , thus providing industrial disability retirement and industrial death benefits , whether such con- ditions were job incurred or not . Committee recommends opposi - tion as appears to lack medical justification and represents piecemeal preferential treatment through procedural rules of evidence . A ,B . 325 proposing to restrict the acquisition of shares of corporations other than nonprofit corporations by certain public officials and employees ( including municipal officials ) and requiring disclosure of such investment and ownership of corporate shares . Committee recommends taking no position at the present time as subject matter under consideration by the Council ' s Ordinance Review Committee .
