The City Commission of the city of Clearwater met in special session
at the City Hall, Friday, May 20, 1983, at 8:37 a.m. with following members
present:
Kathleen F. Kelly
Rita Garvey
James Calderbank
William Justice
Absent:
James L. Berfield
Also present were:
Anthony L. Shoemaker
Thomas A. Bustin
Cynthia E. Goudeau
Mayor-Commissioner
Commissioner
Commissioner
Commissioner
Commissioner
City Manager
City Attorney
Assistant City Clerk
The City Manager read into the record the Notice of Special Meeting
and stated the purpose of the meeting was to discuss and solicit input
from interested parties regarding the Charitable Solicitations Ordinance.
John J. O'Conner, Vice President and General Counsel of the March
of Dimes, reviewed the ordinance and pointed out specific sections he felt
needed improvement.
F. J. Burr, citizen, stated he felt the purpose of the ordinance was
excellent but there were some loopholes. Ile reviewed the areas he felt
needed to be amended and was concerned that this ordinance is less
stringent than the State charitable solicitations ordinance. He reported
on a United States publication of recognized charitable organizations.
Paul B. Johnson, attorney for the Church of Scientology introduced
Richard Parker, a professor of constitutional law from Harvard University.
Professor Parker outlined the reasons he thinks the City's ordinance could
be challenged as being unconstitutional. He stated governments do not
have jurisdiction over the secular functions of religious organizations .
and cannot become involved with an organization and its membership.
John E. Burciaga, Minister of the Unitarian Universalist Church of
Clearwater, opposed the ordinance, stating the spirit and underlying
purpose of the ordinance were out of order.
Discussion ensued regarding possible amendments to the ordinance.
The Commission requested a copy of the Florida Statute regarding
charitable solicitations and the Oregon ordinance which has been challenged
in court. Concerns regarding selective enforcement were expressed and
the Commission questioned what areas the ordinance could address and remain
within the realm of constitutional law.
Professor Parker stated the ordinance could address time, place and
manner restrictions of solicitations for contributions, identification
and purpose of the fund raising, and it could contain some limited
financial disclosure requirements regarding the immediate cost of the fund-
raising.
