Per my telephone conversation a few minutes ago with John White, Legislative 
Aide to the Public Safety Committee, here is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT information 
regarding tomorrow's City Council Meeting in Los Angeles:

On the schedule, it now appears as:

COUNCIL: Los Angeles City Council Agenda, Special Meeting

Ten (10) votes are required for City Council to consider an ordinance.  If 
City Council has twelve (12) or more unanimous votes, they can approve the 
ordinance at the "first" reading.  This means that the ordinance "could be" 
approved tomorrow.

If the City Council does NOT get twelve (12) or more unanimous votes, it 
will be held over for a "second" reading.  At that time, it could pass with 
a "simple majority" of eight (8) votes.  The City Council can always decide 
to continue the matter.  That is another option that the City Council could 
take.

The public hearing will take place at Van Nuys City Hall (as previously 
announced).  Please note the following updated information:


FILE #07-1212 IS NOW ITEM NO. 39 (SPECIAL AGENDA)


When you fill out a speaker's card, you can either write "ITEMS 9, 39" or 
"ITEMS 9 and 39".  Or, you can fill out a speaker's card for EACH of the 
item numbers.  (In this manner, you will be covering all bases.)

Here is the website link for the posted announcement of the LOS ANGELES CITY 
COUNCIL AGENDA, SPECIAL MEETING to be held at 10:15am.    Please scroll to 
page four (4) and look for ITEM NO. 39 (File #07-1212):
