OF ADULT
Ms. Marla Craft addressed the Council requesting some preventive
action be taken to prohibit owning or operating X -rated movie theatre
or pornography shops within the city.
Ms. Craft presented Mayor Cummings with a list of signatures of
concerned persons who share her concern and endorse this request that
preventive measures be taken regarding X -rated movie theatres.
Mayor Cummings advised Ms. Craft that he and the Council were in
agreement with the intent of her request, but did not know what the
Council could do. She was requesting a definition of obscenity and
immorality which, to his knowledge, has not been defined.
Mayor Cummings asked Mr. Chandler to research this issue and
determine what the Council can or cannot do in this regard.
Mrs. Betty Heath addressed the Council stating that she agreed w'th
Ms. Craft's concern for the community, but above all, she feared cens
r-
ship. She asked who is do decide what is fit to see, to hear, to real?
All of this is very difficult to define and, in her opinion, this iss
e
can be controlled through the free enterprise system and we do not ne
d
any more restrictive laws on the books.
Councilman Clayton commented that, in his opinion, the Council sh
uld
do anything possible to prevent X -rated movies in Stephenville.
Mayor Cummings said he wanted the Council to pursue whatever al-
ternatives they have. The Council is aware they cannot pass any ord-
inances which would be in violation of any person's rights as a U.S.
citizen or contrary to the laws of the State of Texas. All the Counc 1
can do is look at the alternatives and try to make a decision.
ITEM VI: CONSIDER AMENDING ZONING ORDINANCE TO INCLUDE B -4

and seconded that this ordinance be referred to the Planning & Zoning
Commission for its action.
Thereafter the Planning & Zoning Commission approved the ordinan e
changing the square feet within the building for parking space and th
space for parking outside.
Mrs. Virginia Dorris, a member of the Planning & Zoning Commissi n,
addressed the Council regarding the above proposed ordinance. Mrs. D rris
said she felt, if a B -4 zoning classification is created, property sh uld
be allocated in the city that is zoned B -4. Mrs. Dorris said she agr es
with the spirit of the proposed ordinance, but was worried about the
manner in which it was approached.
After more discussion, Mayor Cummings, with the consent of the C uncil,
set Tuesday, June 1, 1982 at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chamber as the ate,
time and place for a Public Hearing to consider the above mentioned p o-
