FAIR HOUSING RESOLUTION Mr. Tom Black, Chairman of the Human Relations Commission, appeared before the Council and read the following resolution passed by the Human Relations Commission: Whereas the opponents of the Fair Housing Ordinance have alleged that the Ordinance has numerous procedural and administrative deficiencies, and whereas the opponents of the Fair Housing Ordinance have alleged that the timing with which it was presented and passed gave no time for public discussion and consideration of such procedural and administrative deficiencies, and whereas the Human Relations Commission is dedicated to the passage of a Fair Housing Ordinance which will embody the policy of the City of Austin and the nation, and whereas the Human Relations Commission is also desirous of promoting the fullest possible public confidence in such Fair Housing Ordinance. Therefore, be it resolved as follows: 1. That the Human Relations Commission immediately begin public hearings to allow members of the public to bring to the Commission's attention any and all procedural and administrative deficiencies which may exist in the present ordinance; and 2. That the Human Relations Commission report to the City Council on or before July 18, 1968, concerning any amendments which it determines after such public hearing may improve the present Ordinance; and June 27, 1968 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 3.

That the City Council be urged by the Human Relations Commission not to take any action on the pending referendum until the Commission and Council have conducted such hearings; and 5. That the scope of said hearings be limited to procedural and administrative provisions of the Ordinance and also to the question as to whether to synchronize its effective date with that of the Federal Housing Ordinance, since the basic merits of whether to have an Ordinance or not have already been fully and publicly considered by both the Council and the Commission.
