~ e n'1' 1.." 'J .- ':i fJ 4/29/69 I back with a decision within a given time, and 'expect the .Council to act on his decision. 'Mrs. Hayward felt this was a grave issue, and that the Council should be kept advised on this personnel matter., Mayor Anderson said a threatened strike required some strategy, and the City Manager would be privileged'to utiliie such'strategy. Mr. Mohr said/the point was that a ruling should not be made on an ad hoc basis, and this would seriously damage the general principal. Dr. Purdy felt a decision had been made by the budget .committee with respect to wages, and a possible strike had been brought because of wages and salary parity. The Manager should not be expected to make decisions on budget c9mmitte~ matters. e Mr. Mohr said his question pertains to the general principal, rather than a specific case. The Managerlsaid requests for information are normally no problem, and the staff is happy to comply. However, there have been occasions when the requested information involved so much staff work or decisions which had not been arrived at, that it would be very difficult or time consuming to comply with the request. The staff would like to feel free to ask the Council how they want time spent. A vote was taken on the motion as stated. Motion carried. I d. Civil Air Patrol Request - the Civil Air Patrol has requested permission to use a portion of the airport property to provide a site for a hangar and storage building. Because the Civil Air Patrol is a nonprofit organization, they have requested that the site be provided rent-free. The project would require a ground area approx- imately 150 x 2'00 feet. The Airport Commis'sion, at its meeting of April 3, recom- mended permission be .granted, and that the space be provided rent-free. The staff concurs, but feels the agreement should include a'time limit of perhaps ten years, at which t~me the privilege could be reconsidered. The Civil Air Patrol should take the responsibnity for finishing the str'ucture, or demolishing it, if unfinished, and the building sho~ld remain in the possession of the Civil Air Patr~l. Mr. Teague suggested that a clause be included in the agreement that such an arrangement would terminate if space was used by a firm or organization other than the Civil Air Patrol. Mrs. Hayward moved. seconded by Mr . Gribskov that the Council approve an agreement with Civil Air Patrol as outlined by the City Manager. Motion carried. Mrs. Hayward moved seconded by Mr. McDonald to approve Items lb, lc, and ld of the Committee report. Motion carried. 2. Planning Commission Report, April 7, 1969 a. Zone Change recommended, C. Robert Suess - R-l 16th Avenue on the east side 'of Tyler Street. regulations. to RG between 15th Avenue and West Subject to Pl-anned Unit Development I The Council toured this property prior to the meeting. The Manager said a letter had been' received .from the Fair Board requesting a delay until they could make a decision as to possible expansion on the' site for the Fair' Board. Under the rules of a court case decision in Salem, the City has no right to hold up a decis}on on zoning for further development by a public body, if the z9ning request is proper., e' In answer to a question from Mr. Teague, the Manager said the rezoning ordinance would not go into effect for thirty days. The Planning Director said this delay would ~robably help the Fair Board, and he explained their director ha~ been ill, and this had delayed action. Mr. Gribskov moved seconded .by-Mrs. Hayward that the Council grant the zoning as recommended by the Planning Commission. Motion carried. Mrs. Hayward moved seconded by Mr. McDonald to approve Item 2a of the Committee report. Motion carried. c::..2 b. Exception request recommended, Williams Bakery, southwes~ corner 13th and Moss, to expand ~xisting building. This item was handled at the regular meeting of April 14, 1969. I c. Recommendation to request U.S. General Services Administration to study site for Federal Office Building - General. Services Administration has an authorization for construction of a federal building in Eugene, but not appropriation. They have not taken action to locate a site, and Eugene Renewal Agency has been trying to encourage them to make a sitestudy.to considerthepossibility of use of the former school ad- ministration building north of City Hall. The' Planning Commission recommended this as a logical site for a.Federal Office,Building, and the School Board coutd make a decision to rent or lease the building until G.S.A. actually.had need for it. e Mrs. Hayward moved seconded by Dr-. Purdy to requ~st the General Services Administra- tion to study the School District #4J stie north of City Hall as a possible location for a future ' federal office building _in Eugene, .and ,make a decision .rega~d~ng' desirability. Motion carried. I: " 4/29/69 3 '~
