This might be a point for someone to bring up to the Champaign City Council members. Some were saying that there is no need to have the wording so specific as to require landlords to opt in to the Section 8 program. The city would like to encourage the landlords to do the right thing, they just don't want to force them to. 

Yet some would force a moment of silence during each school day.
