The laws of this State adequately prohibit discrimina- tion because of race, color, religion, national origin, or ancestry in any pub1ioly assisted housing accommodations, declaring such discrimination to be against public policy. This Council reaffirms and endorses the State law regarding discrimina- tion in publicly assisted housing. 3. This Council has not and will not enact any legislation which would prohibit the free use of all public facilities to any persons regardless of race, religious creed, color, national origin, or ancestry. 4. The people of this community have indicated by their own actions that people of all races, color, religious creeds, national origins, or ancestry can and do live together in a harmonious manner.

I It is a matter of basic principle and public policy that all public facilities and public employment supported by tax monies shall be operated on a basis which is in no way disoriminatory for or against individuals because of race, color, religious creed, national origin, or ancestry. It is not within the proper scope of this councilor any other legislative body to attempt to legislate those matters of individual conscience or morality which deal with the inalien- able rights of ownership of personal or real property.
