I The Manager in~tructed Mr. Eaglin to contact the Planning Director, who will work I with them. . I The Planning Director said he met with representatives of LHR and showed properties owned by the City and discussed possible location of laundry at.three or four sites. He said he assumed LHR representa- tives would be coming back with a proposal. _ Mrs. Cecil Dammen, 525 Berntzen Road, commented she is and has been in laundry busine~for many years. She feels there is overabundance of laundry facilities within the City in prime locations. Felt there might be way someone now established' could help with this problem. She commented that there is I a laundry association in Eugene of which she is a member and that th~y would certainly be appreciative e of the opportunity to help the low-income people. Councilman Mohr complimented Mrs. Dammen on her presentation and said he felt if the Association has time and is willing to bring infor~~tion to the Council, they should be asked to do so.' Councilman Wingard commented that because of la4ndry ownership he has a conflict of interest, but that he hoped both sides would work together to try to understand this problem. He said he has lost money on the operation of aaundries in apartment hduses, and would hope the two parties could work out this problem. I Mrs. Hayward agreed that it would be i~P. ortant for all, members of the community to help if they could, but did not think the Council is setting any more direction than on anything else. There may not be property available, and Council cannot look at this unless this is known for sure. She felt the Council should caution people interested in laundry facilities to see if they can get together with Lane Human Resources.
