<br />e <br /> <br />.... <br /> <br />1-51 <br /> <br />I 11 <br />[I Council Chamber <br />I: <br />J, Eugene, Oregon <br />" <br />': January 25, 1971 <br /> l' <br /> <br />II <br />II <br />'I <br />!j <br /> <br />Adjourned meeting of the Common Council of the city of Eugene, Oregon - called to order by His Honor <br />Mayor Lester E. Anderson - at 7:30 p.m. on January 25, 1971 in the Council Chamber with the following <br />Councilmen present: Messrs. Teague, Mohr and McDonald; Mrs. Beal; Messrs Gribskov and Williams; Mrs. <br />Campbell and Mr. Hershner. <br /> <br />1. <br /> <br />.', <br />Public Hearing, Ordinance Relating to Trespassing - This ordinance relates to trespassing on priv- <br />ate property in the city of Eugene. It came about as the result of constitutional challenges to <br />an ordinance which was in the code for many years. This ordinance has been written to replace it. <br />The ordinance was read in full. <br /> <br />'I <br />II <br />" <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Assistant City Attorney Wayne Allen commented on the provisions of the ordinance, and reasons for <br />them. He explained that state law, as presently written, does not cover trespass on real property! <br />in this city, and without this ordinance, there is no way of prohibiting ~respass upon private <br />property in the city of Eugene. He explained amendments that have been made since the original <br />draft, upon suggestions of attorneys for organizations interested in such an ordinance. <br /> <br />,I <br />" <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Mr. Robert Peters, 1444 East 21st, Chairman of the American Civil Liberties Union, said he had <br />recei ved an early draft of the ordinance, and had offered suggestions to the Attorney's office : <br />which might eliminate problems which might be anticipated because certain sections of the ordinanc~: <br />were vague. He was concerned that the final draft had not been improved in this respect, and " <br />requested that the council delay action on the ordinance until some refinements could be made. <br /> <br />Mr. Roy Dwyer, attorney for the Central Labor Council, agreed with Mr. Peters request for delay, <br />and felt that vagueness in Section 4b could cover disorderly conduct, rather than trespassing. <br />He felt advantage could be taken of this section to request persons to leave who actually had <br />legitimate business on the premises. He felt perhaps there should be further breakdown regarding <br />"public" and "private" property. <br /> <br />Ii <br />Councilman Mohr commented that he had posed some questions at the Committee meeting which had been" <br />covered in~a memorandum prepared by the City Attorney's office; but that the Council had not <br />received this material in sufficient time to stujy it prior to the meeting. He felt passage of <br />the ordinance should be delayed until the Council had more time to reflect on it. <br /> <br />Councilwoman Beal agreed and suggested action be delayed for two weeks, and that it be <br />discussed at a committee of the whole meeting. <br /> <br />Since the Council has asked for another committee session to discuss the ordinance, the Manager <br />suggested that, to give the matter adequate consideration, a future date not be set. The con- <br />tinuation of the public hearing can be well advertised. <br /> <br />Councilman Hershner agreed there were some vague points in the ordinance, and was concerned with <br />statements regarding persons in charge of public property, and in Section 4b, what would limit <br />it to "public property." He, too, was in favor of spending more time considering the ordinance. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Since it was the Council consensus to give this ordinance further consideration, Mr. Teague <br />moved seconded by Mr. Mohr to withhold action on Council Bill No. 9340 untill sufficient material <br />is available. Motion carried. <br /> <br />Mayor Anderson pointed out that the public hearing will be continued to another date, and public <br />notice will be given. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Mr. Ken Bylund said that Mr. Roy Dwyer had been retained by organized labor to work with this <br />bill, and he would appreciate an opportunity to work with "the Attorneys to upt it into a form <br />acceptable to them. <br /> <br />-. <br />For ,formal action taken on Council- Bill ~No." 9340 see Page lL- of these minutes. <br /> <br />II. Public Hearing, Planning Commission Reports <br />A. December 21, 1970 Report <br />1. Vacation of a portion of cul-de-sac on Lambert Street <br />Located south of West 18th Avenue and west of Hawkins Heights Boulevard. Petitioner <br />is Larry Kelso. A smaller cul-de-sac could be constructed in the same location without <br />creating problems. Vacation would permit better use of the adjoining lot. <br /> <br />For formal action taken on Council BiilillNo. 9341 se Page <br /> <br />13 of these minutes. <br /> <br /> 2. <br />I <br /> I' <br /> ,I <br /> d <br /> " <br /> 'I <br /> I: <br />e <br /> <br />Denial of Annexation Requests <br />a. 19.3 Acres south of Centennial between Lindley Lane and 1-5 (Boundary Board Referral) <br />Upon request from Boundary Board and advice from Lane County, Planning Commission <br />recommended denial of this request until the City can provide services and the <br />traffic problem is resolved. <br /> <br />This is unsubdivided area which has no trunk sewer anq cannot receive sewer service. <br />There is a problem with andangerous intersection. The Planning Commission feels <br />the annexafion is premature, since trunk line sewers are not scheduled for this area <br />in the near future. <br /> <br />1/25/71 - 1 <br /> <br />.... <br />
