4 2053 Nvember 10,,1958 "1 the Bard s wishes, I wuld like fr the Cmmittee t btain this infrmatin. I think it wuld be vety interesting t ur Bard and enlightening. This subject cmes up rather ften ~nd we wuld like t be a little mre careful in vting fr these large grants f :nney." Mr. Russell's request was accepted in the frm f a mtin and secnded by Mr. Lewis. MR. MURPHY ppsed Mr. Russell's request. He said: "We are dealing with a very sensitive matter. As members f the Bard, we can delve deeply int this if we wish. They are having 8 lt f truble in New Yrk n this prblem and ne f the reasns, I believe, fr mst f their truble, is the fact that they are giving it entirely t much publicity a. t the as.essibility f relief fr peple cming in frm ut f the state. That wuld be a bad thing fr Stamfrd. "I think that this infrmatin thllt Mr. Russell has requested is unnecessary - that he shuld endeavr t find ut thf.s infrmatin fr himself in his capacity as Representative, withut giving it all this publicity." MR. BAKER; "As I pinted ut at the last Bard meeting, I think this is infrmatin that shuld be generally knwn by the residents and taxpayers f Stamfrd and nt nly t the individual members f this Bard. I whleheartedly g alng with Mr. Russell's suggestin. II MR. GERONIMO said he ppsed Mr. Russell's suggestin, and that he thught it sunded like a reflectin n the Welfare Department. He said: "I am sure that ur Directr f Public Welfare has the interests f the citizens and taypayers f the City f Stamfrd at heart, and I wuld assume that he Sees t it that all cases are thrughly inve.. tigated." MR. NOLAN said he thught Mr. Russell's mtin was ut f rder and shuld be brught up under the Educatin, Welfare & Gvernment Cmmittee reprt, rather than nw, as it des nt have any bearing n the item under Fiscal Cmmittee (item #3) nw n the flr. The Chair ruled that it des have a bearing n item (3). MR. NOLAN: "We are nt debating Mr. Huizinga's mtin any lnger. We are talking abut Mr. Russell's mtin. I think it is quite cnfusing. 1I MR. RHOADES: "Of curse, there cannt be a vte n a matter f this type until the matter f the apprpriatin has been settled. 1I MR. lewis; "I think that Mr. Russell is quite prper in bringing up the questin at this time, in vlew f ur dual cmmittee reprt. We are nt lking fr names f peple n relief. I assume, frm Hr. Hacrides nn actin (this is nt, believe me, a persnal attack n Mr. Macrides' Cmmittee, fr he des nt have that infrmatin at hand). But, [ d believe Mr. Macrides wuld welcme the pprtunity f prviding us with the lnfrmatin that Mr. Russell has requested, and I think we, as a Bard, are entitled t have it. I think Mr. Russell is in rder. He is nt talking against Mr. H".lizi nga's mtin, and I think we shuld favrably cnsider his request." MR. HUIZINGA spke regarding Mr. RIJssell' 5 request fr a breakdwn f figures n the Department f Public Welfare t be prepared by Mr. Macrides' cmmittee. (Educati n, Welfare & Gvernnent Cmmittee) MR. HUIZINGA; "IL has nt been brught ut yet by any f the peple wh have spken n this.~loo,ooo apprpriatin, ne matter in particular, and that is that Mr. Macrides' Cmmittee is furnished mnthly with a reprt frm the Welfare Department, which is a very eetailed reprt. I~ fact, if I am nt mistaken, it may cve= as many as 20 pages

5 Nvember 10, and it gives exactly the number f peple wh are n relief, it breaks it dwn between individuals, 8& far 88 families are cncerned and it als gives the average cst f the individuals and the average cst f a family. It is this infrmatin which is available t Mr. Hacr!des J which we checked int befre we apprved the apprpriatin f this $100,000 request. If yu want t hear this whle reprt, I think it wuld be t lengthy, but if it will help any: There are apprximately 175 families nw n reliei, as f the last mcnthly statement; there are apprximately 800 individuals n relief as f the last mnthly statement; there are apprximately 4 members f each f the 175 families, s that means yu are ging t have sme families that are ging t have as high as 7 r 8 members. "When we questined this item f 'Gash Relief' which is nthing but fd and rent (there are a few 6mall items in there, but it isjdstly fd and rent). Hwever. I d think this infrmatin shuld be presented t this Bard. One f the questins that ur Cmmittee asked Mr. Laturney was the fact that if there are as many as 7 r 8 peple in a family, and if the city is required t payut cash relief fer rent and fd, in accrdance with the schedule sent dwn frm Hartfrd, giving the base requirements -- isn't it pssible that a family f 7 r 8 peple might even receive ~ mney frm relief than that man wuld have received when he was wrking fr a crpratin in Stamfrd? When yu take ut withlding taxe., and ther deductins. sme f them actually get mre uney when they are n relief. Nw. that is nt the fault f the Welfare Department." Mr. Huizinga talked st sme length n reimbursement being given by the Welfare Department fr ambulance use, at the rate f $1 per mile. He said Mr. Laturney infrmed the cmmittee that last week they had t bring smene in - a ttal f 47 miles at a cst f $47. He said, "They even had t bring in a bdy - a welfare case - frm 130 r s miles away. Sat that is ne reasn why Qur Welfare Department is paying ut such a tremendus amunt f mney. And, bear in mind that ur ttal apprpriatin fr the whle year was $80,000. The riginal request that came t the Mayr was fr $200,000. I am t~ld by Mr. Laturney that very sn agsin they will have t ask fr anther very sizeable amunt, because at the mment, the cst f relief is running arund $20,000 a mnth. II MR. RHOADES: "Mr. RUBsell's mtin will be heard again later in ur Agenda under Educatin, Welfare & Gvernment Cmmittee. The vte will nw be n Mr. Huizinga's mtin. " VOTE taken n Mr. Huizinga's mtin t apprve the requested apprpriatin f $100,000 fr the Department f Public Welfare (see item #3) and CARRIED unanimusly. Re: Pensin Plan MR. HUIZINGA: "In clsing, we have nt frgtten ur task in trying t find a slutin t the pensin prblem. We h~ve had several interviews. The last meeting we had was with Mr. Buck, the Actuary frm New Yrk. Bth Mr. Keleman and myself spent the whle evening in this meeting, endeavring t get mre infrmatin n this very crublesm e prblem. It LEGISlATIVE & RULES COMMITTEE: r- MR. RAITERI, Chai~n, presented his cmmittee reprt. He said meetings were held n Octber 16 and Nvember 6, all members being present at the Octber meeting, and Messrs. Clatrella and DeFrest were absent at the Nvember meeting. MR. RAITERI: "The meeting f Octber 16 was given ver t further wrk n the Building Cde.

While cpies f these sectins in final f~ are nt yet available, in rder t expedite actin tward adptin, yur Cmmittee respectfully requests authrit ~ t prceed with a public hearing n the sectins a8 sn as available. It is ur hpe that this may be prir t the December meeting f the Bard f Representatives and that they may be presented fr publicatin at that time. " -~ Re: Public Hearing n Building Cde MR. RAlTERI MOVED fr apprval f a public hearing t be held n the Building Cde sme time preceding the December 8th meeting f the Bard f Representatives 1 and fr publicatin f a Public Ntice t that effect.

RAlTER!: "The members f the COIIIIIittee have been delu8ed with crrespndence frm a number f firms and individual. prtesting this legislatin, It is ur assumptin that the ther members f the Bard nave been similarly prpagandized. This crrespndence was clearly fstered and encuraged by ne area cmpany and has led t prtests whic~ demnstrate a miscnceptin f the facts at issue. Mst f thse participating in this campaign have nt even had cpies f the prpsed amended Ordinance fr reference. Sme hav~ been misled int writing, since they d nt came within the terms f the prpsal, a fact clearly understd by the ne stimulating the barrage f letters. "Yur cmmittee als has btained frm the Deputy Cntrller 8 cmplete tabulatin f,-. licenses and permits issue under Chapter 23 f the Cde f General Ordinances since 1954, the date when thi.

At the time f its adptin, amng its mst strenuus ppnents were mst f thse wh are nw s bitterly ppsing the prpsed' amendment. Review f the tabulatin btained frm the Cntrller disclses the amazing fact that J since the adptin f the Ordinance in 1954, with ne ntable exceptin (the Fuller Brush Cmpany), the.e parties wh nw s strngly resist the strengthening f the Ordinance have J t a great extent, been c8~rying n their business in ur cmmunity in virtually cmplete diijregard and vilatin f the prvisins f the existing Ordinance! "In rder that yur Cmmittee may mre fully investigate this phase f the.ituatin and determine t what extent prsecutin fr vilatin f the existing Ordinance is indicated, yur Cmmittee respectfully reques ts that this matter be recmmitted and I SO MOVE." Secnded by Mr. Clatrella. MR. NOLAN bjected t recmmittal f this prpsed Ordinance, saying it shuld be vted n tnight.
