*CORRECTION BELOW FROM 3/26/96 City Council meeting: Per Councilwoman Spiro (deletions lined out - additions underlined)
Campaignin9--- Charles Kitchen, 4945 Fern Place, proposed having at least three City town hall meetings
for candidates to present their points of view and respond to audience questions. He also
inquired about the legality of some City employees *using with City vehicles to display
campaign signs *on their properties by City vehicles promoting certain candidates. He thought
this was wrong and expressed disagreement with previous written response from City Attorney

Flitner regarding this issue. Mayor Flores summarized responding Council comments
that it would be appropriate for a non - biased group, like the League of Women
Voters, to use the Council Chamber for a Candidates' Night, but inappropriate for the
City Council to promote candidates. Responding to Council comments on the
possibility of a perception problem regarding campaign signs on properties of
employees using City vehicles, the Mayor requested the City Attorney to re- evaluate
legalities and provide a report at the next Council meeting.
