<br /> Council Chambers, Eugene, Oregon
<br /> December 18, 1942
<br /> The minutes of an adjourned meeting of the Common Council held Friday evening, I
<br /> 'tn December 18, at 7:30 P.M. Councilmen present: Bond, Farrington, Barette, Koppe,
<br /> r~ and Hawn; absent: Brownson, Stewart, and Pennington.
<br /> Mayor Large stated that the meeting had been adjourned, among other things, to
<br /> complete proceedings regarding the rezoning of the northeast corner of Madison and
<br /> Oth Avenue West, and called for objections regarding this proposal. Mr. D. P.
<br /> jPeterson, 858 Jackson Street, was present and addressed the Council. He stated
<br /> ithat he objected to the rezoning of this piece of property as there were several
<br /> Ihome~ in the ~eig~bOrh?od costi~g f:om $5,000.00 to.$7,000.OO and he was sure the
<br /> :plac~ng ofa nosp~0al ~n that d~str~ct would deprec~ate the value of the property
<br /> iand that rezoning in this place only meant that later on there would be rezoning
<br /> ifafther west on the street. He said he felt there was sufficient places already in
<br /> ;this multiple family district where this hospital could be located. Councilman
<br /> IBarette asked Dr. Lambert if he intended to make this a fireproof building and
<br /> IDr. Lambert replied that he did not think it was necessary. The question of
<br /> Icomplying with the State Fire Marshal's regulations was brought up and Mr. Clubb
<br /> Iwas asked to state what his requirements were. Mr. Clubb stated that the State
<br /> 'Fire Marshal for a hospital would require outside stairways for the upper floor,
<br /> iand also that there would have to be front and back stairways inside and the
<br /> ,construction would have to be what is known as one-hour fire resistant and explained
<br /> :that this would mean he probably would have to use metal lath and plaster. Dr.
<br /> 1 iLambert stated that they were expecting to comply with all requirements in remodelin~
<br /> Ithe building. Mr. Peterson addressed the Council again and asked if it was not
<br /> ;necessary before these proceedings were passed that a petition be circulated for
<br /> :the ajoining property owners to sign and he was told that this was not necessary
<br /> :but that petitions could be circulated and presented to the Council if either side
<br /> :wished to do so. Councilman Bon~ stated that when he bought his lot and built, he
<br /> 'did so because the district was designated as a single family residence district,
<br /> :but that if sufficient property owners in that district were not enough interested
<br /> ;to appear before the Council to make objections, that he could see no reason why
<br /> ithe rezoning should not go through. Councilman Farrington said he had a call during
<br /> :the afternoon from a crippled man living close to this property objecting to the
<br /> irezoning, but that the man was not at the meeting this evening. Councilman Bond I
<br /> said he also had a phone call from this same party. Councilman Farrington stated
<br /> 'that he had also had a call from Mr. E. H. Peterson stating that he objected very
<br /> much to the rezoning, but that he would be attending a class for Civilian Defense
<br /> and could not be present at the meeting. Dr. Lambert was asked if he was expecting
<br /> 'to put up any neon signs, and he'stated he was ot and that they expected to have
<br /> la neat appearing place from the outsid~. There were no further objections and the
<br /> iordinance had its second reading and was passed to its third reading by unanimous
<br /> iconsent of the council by title under suspension of the rules. On roful call those
<br /> ivoting aye: Koppe and Hawn, no: Farrington and Barette, absent: Brownson, Stewart,
<br /> ;and Pennington; Councilman Bond not voting. This making a tie vote, Mayor Large
<br /> cast his vote as aye and the ordinance was declared passed and numbered 8759 .
<br /> ,.
<br /> The matter of payment of the four bills for sirens for the Lane County Defense
<br /> 'Council was brought up at this time. Councilman Hawn stated that he had nothing'.
<br /> ~urther to add than the remarks he made at the meeting Dec. 14th, but that he had
<br /> asked IVJr. Shumaker and Mr. Hitchens to be present at the meeting if there were any
<br /> questions the Council wished to ask them. Mr. Shumaker stated that Mr. Hitchens
<br /> was not present but that he had asked Hugh Currin, engineer for the Water Board to
<br /> be present. Councilman Bond asked Mr. Currin if additional units could be added
<br /> ;to these if it was found necessary to have a more ad~quate system. Mr. Currin state~
<br /> that he had had very little to do with these sirens as the Vkter Board had undertake I
<br /> to develop a whistle, but that the Eugene Junior Chamber of Commerce felt that they
<br /> ~ere not proceeding fast enough and undertook to work out something by themselves.
<br /> ;He stated that these sirens were what the Junior Chamber of Commerce had recommended,
<br /> ~nd that the ~ugene Water Board, at their direction had installed them and were
<br /> operating them. Councilman Bond asked Mr. Shumaker if. it was not a fact that only
<br /> $350.00 had been indicated in the O.C.D. budget for warning system and that now
<br /> the bills presented were twice that amount. Mr. Shumaker stated that that was a
<br /> fact, but that when the budget was prepared they had no previous experience to go
<br /> ~y and did not know what the cost might be. Mr. Shumaker explained that the O.C.D.
<br /> had a Finance Committee and that items in excess of a few dollars were always taken
<br /> up with this Finance Committee and that he thought that when the $2,000.00 allowance
<br /> 2 Was put in the budget for O.C.D. that they would be allowed to use it for what they
<br /> ~hought necessary after thorough investigation. Mr. Shumaker stated that he did not I
<br /> plaim the present system was adequate, but that it was all right as far as it went.
<br /> ~r.Hugh Currin was asked if he considered the present system adequate and he stated
<br /> that he, as representing the Water Board, did not caDe to go on record as stating
<br /> whether or not the present system was adequate but that he would say that additional
<br /> I
<br /> units could be added to the present system. Councilman Farrington stated at this
<br /> time that he would like to have the matter clarified as to whether the O.C.D. had
<br /> full authority to make purchases from the $2,000.00 or whether the larger items
<br /> Should be referred to the Council before purchases were made. Mayor Large explained
<br /> that the committee members of the Council did not have authority to make purchases
<br /> bf this size without first referring this matter to the Council even though items
<br /> .~ad been set up in the budget for the depa.rtment. Councilman Bond said that in regard
