Councilman Hill asked if this covered only the June 18,19 and 20,1971,
could this be enlarged in the future -what about July 15 or any future date ?
Maybe we should make a resolution encompassing future planned rock festivals.
City Manager,Waggener,stated that in drafting the Resolution there is a
specific date proposed and if we are going to the Governor,our request should
not be in general.It would be more effective if we related to the specific dates
when the festival is being held.The new Law does relate to music festivals.
Councilman Ebbert -In other words,we have to generate one of these
Resolutions every time ?
Mayor Skaug -The new Law pertaining to Rock or Music Festivals pre-empts
any others and becomes the Law for all of us.
Councilman Hill -What are we asking for —if they are going to have the
rock festival ?
Mayor Skaug -We stipulated appropriate State Agencies of Law Enforcement.
Mayor Skaug called for a vote upon the motion.Motion carried.Opposed
by Councilman Ebbert.

in the last paragraph on Page 1 of the Resolution.
Councilman Ebbert - You can't make this a supporting factor if it wasn't
unanimous.
