complaints on X-rated video films being rented in the City,this ordinance
has been introduced,and that a similar ordinance has recently been adopted
in the City of Glendale.Councilman Eidson further explained that this
ordinance does not dictate,but will mean these films will not be available
i n Apache Junction,and that he felt that these movies contribute to rapes,
incest,and child abuse.
Mayor Hill asked i f there was anyone
who wished to speak in favor of or in opposition to the ordinance.

concern of the ordinance due to censorship,and stated that the word

been closed i n Maricopa County for selling the questionable materials,and
that anything deemed to be "obscene"can be challenged.

censorship i s used when rating movies,placing books in schools,and that

PAGE 3 OF 22

Broadway,Apache Junction,addressed the Council in support of the
ordinance.
Ms Lauer added that i f these video
movies are obscene,than soap operas and some television programs should
also be outlawed.

censorship i s going to be practiced in Apache Junction,Cable TV should not
have been allowed.
Mr.Mike Smith,owner of Arizona

regards to religion and God,and that i f people want these materials they
should go to Maricopa County.
Councilman Baljo read and explained
portions of the proposed ordinance,and expressed opposition to obscene
materials being available in Apache Junction.
Councilman Jimenez stated that
according to State law,cities may chose to establish laws bringing criminal
or civil action against businesses who sell,rent,or lease obscene
materials,however,legal opinion shows that success in conviction i s
doubtful,and expressed his opinion that by adopting this ordinance,the
council would be violating the rights of the general population.
Vice Mayor Bakkedahl stated that
after a lot of thought over the past week,this problem can be handled in
the family and the right to do what they want should not be taken from the
citizens.
Councilman Baljo felt that i t would
be easier to adopt this ordinance and change i t i n the future,than to try
to adopt the ordinance at a later date.
Mr.Doug Lauer,representing the
Arizona Video Cassette chain,which has a location i n Apache Junction,
stated that other communities have passed similar ordinances and have had
them overturned,and that the expense of going to court i s unnecessary as
there are State laws governing these videos.
Mr.Gil Verley,resident of Apache
Junction,commented that i t is not always possible to control children
within the family,and that Apache Junction does not need pornography
displayed.
Ms Pat Oltman,1021 E.Scenic,
Apache Junction,asked how many people really believe in the First
Amendment.
Councilman Baljo explained that many
of the paragraphs in the proposed ordinance came from the Statutes,and
should be given a test of time.
Councilman Eidson stated that this
was discussed with each Councilmember prior to proposing the ordinance,and
each one except Councilwoman Gardner gave their support at that time.
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL

PAGE 4 OF 22
Councilwoman Gardner expressed her
opinion that these obscene movies are bad,but that this ordinance i s not
the answer towards regulating these materials,and that a video was taken of
the inside of the shops that sell video movies.
Mr.Lauer stated that the films are
viewed and screened per guidelines set by the State,prior to being sold in
Arizona,and that the real problem i s that no one has defined "obscenity".
Councilwoman Gardner stated that the
best way to regulate obscenities i s to not buy them.
Ms Ellen Simsick,4554 W.Virginia,
Apache Junction,addressed the Council,commenting that younger children
will have someone of age buy movies for them,and that these materials cause
crimes.
Councilwoman Taylor thanked the
citizens for their input on this issue,explained that this ordinance does
not prevent citizens from viewing the video movies i f they wish,i t only
prohibits the sale,rental,or lease of these obscene materials in the City
of Apache Junction,and further stated that this i s a moral issue.
Ms Jean Perkins,616 N.Cactus,
Apache Junction,expressed her feeling that some Councilmembers are using
this issue as "political football".
Mayor Hill asked i f there was anyone
else who wished to address the Council on this issue.There being no one
wishing to speak,Mayor Hill closed the hearing to the public.
Mayor Hill recessed the meeting.
Mayor Hill reconvened the meeting at 8:17 p.m.
Mayor Hill stated that the film i s
not working,so the Director of Public Safety will explain what i t
contained.'
Director of Public Safety Bill
McDaniel,stated that the film contained the outside and interior of the
shops,showing the signs on the entrance to the back rooms prohibiting
anyone under 21 from entering those rooms.
City Attorney -David:Alexander
suggested that in regards to Council procedure during the meeting,-public:
hearing should be closed after citizens speak and Councilmembers express
their opinions following that,and reminded the. Council that only agenda
items: should be addressed and not political comments.
Mayor Hill stated that everyone i s
entitled to their personal morals and that the Council cannot adopt an
ordinance that i s not ratified by the State,and funds would be wasted on
law suits,but that sale of obscene materials could in other ways be
strictly regulated.
Vice Mayor Bakkedahl asked the City
Attorney how many 'communities in the immediate area have adopted a similar
ordinance.
Mr.Alexander replied that this
ordinance was modeled after the Glendale ordinance and State Statutes,but
did not know about surrounding communities,and that violation of this
proposed ordinance would constitute a Class 1 Misdemeanor._
