<br />Councilman Mohr said he had spent the major part of the day in federal court, and that the U.S. .
<br />Attorney had' some difficulty explaining exactlywher~ he had received his information. Mr. Mohr
<br />had made a statement upholding, the city's p~lice force and it~ ability to handle th~se problems
<br />without outside interference from other ag~ncies. Mr. Mohr reported that arguments made for
<br />return of Mr. Hurst to this community prevailed, he was released on bail, and will return to the
<br />City.

<br />Mrs. Hayward asked to discuss the problems of differences in planning and zoning between the Ci~y
<br />and the County. Mrs. Hayward felt there was an opportunity to help reso1ve these problems by
<br />entering into the Kendall Ford case as a friend of the court.

<br />.
<br />
<br />Mrs. Hayward moved seconded by Mr. MOhr that the Council authorize the City Attorney to, on behalf
<br />of the City, file a request to enter the Kendall Ford case as Amicus Curiae.
<br />
<br />In answer to a question from Mr. Mohr, the City Attorney said if the City had continued with inter-
<br />vention, he would now be participating in the case, with evidence in support of the plaintiffs.
<br />As a friend of the Court, a brief may be filed to accentuate the areas in the case that are of
<br />particular concern to the city of Eugene.
<br />
<br />Mayor Anderson said he had talked to Commissioner Kenneth Omlid to explain the actioi1.the~Cbuncil
<br />might take in this matter. The Commissioner said there is no ill-will felt in this regard. The
<br />Mayor explained that the Council would really be carrying on a commitment made previously to
<br />support the City's stand in this case.
<br />
<br />:i
<br />
<br />In answer to a question from Mr. Wingard, the City Attorney explained the reason for an amicus
<br />curiae brief is to give the Court an~in~erpretation of law and legal arguments why the Court should
<br />find one way or another - to influence the Court in its decision. The City would not be a neutral
<br />party, but would be on the side of the plaintiff. No written accusations would he made concern-
<br />ing the County position, and the City would not participate in the trial or take objection to
<br />evidence. It would only take a position as to the validity of the County action. In answer to
<br />Dr. Purdy's question, Mr. Hendershott said work would be done by the staff, and there would be
<br />no actual cost.
<br />
<br />Mr. Teague did not feel the Council should interefere at this time. It was his opinion that inter-
<br />ference might hamper city-county relationships.
<br />
<br />"

<br />:'
<br />
<br />Mr. Wingard said he had real reticence to enter into lawsuits, but if the City could present its
<br />position without sueing someone, Mr. Wingard felt this should be done. He said countless tax
<br />dollars had been spent for planning, and some attempt should be made to protect this.
<br />
<br />A vote was taken on the motion as stated. Motion carried.
