<br /> Comm
<br /> tf'\ Mr. Bradshaw moved seconded by Mrs. Campbell to confirm the Planning COnmUs- 5/24/72
<br /> sion recommendation. Motion carried unanimously. Approve
<br /> B. Mall Regulations - A proposed ordinance, copies of which were previously dis-
<br /> tributed to Council members, would bett;er deal wi th kinds of acti vi ties and per-
<br /> missions in use of the_ downtown mall, and cure some legal insufficiencies' of the
<br /> present'ordlnance. Manager said it might be well to refer the ordinance to a
<br /> broadly based ad hoc ci tizens commi ttee for recommendations, and thereby avoid
<br /> controversy at a public hearing. He explained changes from the present ordinance -
<br /> climbing, to control "safety problems; fountain, so that persons may not throw
<br /> trash or use other than for wading or observing; fund raising; seeing-eye dogs
<br /> will be allowed; different-procedure for granting permits for use of the mall,
<br /> and providing appeal from failure to obtain a permit. Manager said if the
<br /> Council does, not wish to est,ablish an ad hoc committee, perhaps an administrative
<br /> hearing could pe held to at least, give interested persons an opportunity to re-
<br /> I act and give some input prior to official Council consideration. With regard to
<br /> legal, insufficiency, Manager said the City Attorn?yfeels the present, <;Jrdinance
<br /> I is unenforceable since it was adopted on the basis ,of a set of rules, and a
<br /> violation of those_rules becomes a violation of the ordinance.
<br /> Councilm~n Mohr~ecommended holding,an,ad~nistrative hearing designed to
<br /> . eli ci t reasons for the changes in the ordinance, administrati ve _ experien<;:e wi th
<br /> the present rules, and answers to questions with debate in a way not possible
<br /> at a committee or public hearing. Mrs. Beal suggested people having an interest
<br /> in the m{ill regulations should be notified of such hearing to allow ex<?hange of
<br /> I views at that time rather than at a public hearing. Manager said there would
<br /> be an effort made to gain widespread participation.
<br /> Mr. Mohr moved seconded by Mr. Williams that Manager set up an administrative
<br /> bearing on the proposed mall regulations ordinance. Motion carried unanimousl.y.
<br /> Mrs. Beal asked if the Manager would conduct the hearing with the Council attend-
<br /> ing but not acting. Manager said from the staff standpoint it would be helpful
<br /> for various departments dealing wit~ mall problems to participate to allow ex-
<br /> change 6f their problems and problems of people using the mall. Mayor Anderson Comm
<br /> said it should be understood the administrati ve hearing will not precl ude a 5/31/72
<br /> public hearing. Approve
<br /> C. Downtown Development District Board - Councilman Mohr distributed to other Council
<br /> members a memo containing his thoughts with regard to certain sections of the
<br /> proposed ordinance establish~ng a governing board for the Downtown Development
<br /> District. He suggests a definition of the Board's purpose to include other than
<br /> . financing and administering the: District, especially to include alternate forms
<br /> of transportationp and a limitation on the sorts of programs that the revenues
<br /> could be used to support. He also,suggested that membership include at least
<br /> two Council members and that the additional appointments be made in the same
<br /> manner as those for the Eugene Renewal Agency; and that grievances appealed
<br /> from Board decisionsb~ directed to the Council rather than to the City Manager.
<br /> Mr. Mohr said he would like to see a Council subconmUttee afJpointed to work with
<br /> the Downtown Association committee in drafting the ordinance creating the board.
