III. PUBLIC HEARINGS (FROM THE MAY 1 0, 1999 AGENDA)
City Attorney
A. Requests the City Commission Consider Adoption of the Attached Ordinance
Number 720, Setting a Referendum on November 2, 1999 on the Question of
Whether or Not the City Should Add Fluoride to the City's Public Drinking Water.
(THIS WAS PUBLIC HEARINGS AGENDA ITEM "E" ON THE MAY 10, 1999
AGENDA - WHICH WAS NOT DISCUSSED ON THAT DATE).
"MOTION TO READ BY TITLE ONLY". MOTION BY COMMISSIONER

COMMISSIONER McLEOD: AYE; DEPUTY MAYOR GENNELL: AYE;
COMMISSIONER MILLER: AYE; COMMISSIONER BLAKE: AYE.
COMMISSIONER MARTINEZ: AYE. MOTION CARRIED.
There was discussion by Members of the Commission regarding the numerous materials
that they have received and read on the subject of fluoridation.
Commissioner McLeod then stated for the record, "That I am very much opposed to the
fact of fluoride in the water - it is a medical substance, and I do not believe, as I've read,
that it is our position to put a medical substance presently in our drinking water, that
could affect one, two, or three in an adverse manner of our citizens. I do not believe that
that's the intent of what we should be doing under government, and I do believe that
there is enough fluoride in substance that we today receive as I read through a lot of
information, that probably very well sustains the fluoride need for today, and the children
- again the younger ones are the ones that seem to need it, and they very quickly grow
beyond that point, so what are we doing for the rest of the people, other than spending the
tax dollar. Thank you".
"AT THIS TIME I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT THIS DOES NOT GO
TO A REFERENDUM VOTE; AND THAT THIS BECOMES A VOTE OF THIS
COMMISSION, THIS EVENING, AS TO WHETHER TO FLUORIDE OR NON-
