<br />Field w~ere alternatives to open field burning would be exhibited. In connection ~
<br />with this, Mayor Anderson said it had become apparent that a full-scale campaign
<br />would be launched for extension of field burning past the January 1, 1975 dead- ]
<br />line set by the Legislature. He said the Seed Council had indicated that no 1

<br />~ to extend the deadline. . He'- sa1.dthat in several weeks he would come back to '
<br />,the Council asking for suggested names of individuals who might be willing to
<br />.serve in this capacity. He felt it necessary to gain participation from people
<br />'in the ci"ty as well as from outlying areas to make a more organizaed effort
<br />, .
<br />;than had been anticipated to hold firm the January deadline on the field burning.

<br />;Councilman McDonald agreed with the Mayor's comments. He said he would move to
<br />support the original action calling for a ba~ on seed field burning as of
<br />'January 1, 1975. Mayor Anderson saia that since the city was already on record
<br />,supporting the ban, the thrust of his suggestion would be to formally organize
<br />.a group of citizens, or Council members, or a combination of both for a broad ...
<br />. based communi ty effort. He said he would welcome suggestions and names of in- _
<br />;dividuals willing to work, and he especially encouraged expressions from the public. -
<br />
<br />'Councilman Keller asked if other cities would be involved - Springfield, Cottage
<br />Grove, etc., as well as Lane County. The Mayor answered that he had no definite C9fum
<br />structure nor any definite procedure at this point although Eugene did pretty 9/18174
