This was brought to us by former Mayor John Thomaides. I <br />believe it passed 7-0 and we were glad he brought it to us. The source is the U. <br />S. Conference of Mayors along with the Anti -Defamation League. Given the <br />recent incidents of anti-Semitism posters, etc. in our community, she thought <br />the new council might want to review it and sign on to it. She noted that she <br />did not write this. There are a few phrases that were out -dated that she <br />removed from consideration. She also thought it was a good idea to have this <br />ready for future incidents and not have to wait for a council meeting to make a <br />statement. She stated she is not necessarily asking council to sign on. It's <br />merely an offer for council to be able to stand united against hate, extremism, <br />and bigotry. She mentioned if council wants to amend it, they may. If council <br />don't want to sign on, they may vote no. <br />Council Member Baker followed up with Mayor Hughson regarding the <br />questions he posted on the message board.
