I Mr. Noble Field read a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors of the San Marcos Chamber of Commerce, and recorded in Chamber minutes on Thursday, April '27, 1961. The resolution, which expresses the Director's desire that the current city council 'not undertake to destroy that which has been gained through the efforts of Mayor Allen and his previous city council but, that they uphold the policies established under Mayor C. M. Allen and the previous City Council, follows and is made a part of these minutes. Mayor Allen thanked Mr. Field and the Chamber for their interest. Mr. Kenneth Weatherford appeared before the council re- garding the distribution of ambulance calls to funeral homes. Mr. Weatherford stated that the Los Angeles Chapel is not an independent business and operates only as a branch of the Pennington Funeral Home; thus, they are not entitled to receive ambulance calls on an independent basis. The council had previously voted to issue month- ly turns on the calls to each of the locations, Pennington's, Los Angeles, and Weatherford. Alderman Sutton made the motion that the decision of the last meeting be upheld by the council. The motion died for the want of a second. Aldennan Ruiz moved that the council rescind the decision of the last meeting and that only Pennington and Weatherford Funeral Homes be considered for calls. The motion died for want of a second. Mr. Weatherford requested that the Los Angles Chapel ceased to be called by the police department as soon as the chapel could be notified. Alderman Younger moved that a decision be postponed by the council until further investigation by the City Attorney and City Manager as to ownership and opera- tional title. Alderman Korff seconded, whereupon the Mayor asked for a roll call vote. I Ayes: Mayor C. M. Allen Alderman Hillburn, Korff, Ruiz, Younger Nayes: Alderman Sutton The Mayor declared the motion carried and asked that all parties be notified when the item is to be discussed again.
