the staff be authorized to invest funds in U.S.

Traffic Commission (H&C G-556)
The City Mgr referred to the proposed changes
as recommended by the Mayor's Traffic Commission,
and inquired if the Council wished to discuss any
of the proposed changes . It was pointed out that
the proposed change in regard to the use of sirens
on ambulances makes it permissive for ambulances
to use sirens on emergency calls, rather than the
mandatory provision that sirens be used as under
the present ordinance.
When Councilman Shannon arrived later in the
pre-Council conference, he requested that the pro-
posed ordinance relating to ambulances be delayed
one week, and that the staff reconsider 1) the
provision requiring a first-aid attendant in
funeral coaches, and 2) the amount of insurance
required ($50,000-$100,000). Council approved the
first 6 recommendations as contained in M&C G-556
at regular Council meeting, and delayed action on
No� 7 providing for the revision of the ambulance
ordinance.
