The regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Eugene, Oregon, was called to order by His Honor Mayor Brian B. Obie. I. ELECTION OF CITY COUNCIL OFFICERS Ms. Schue moved, seconded by Ms. Bascom, to nominate Debra Ehrman to be president of the council in 1987 and Freeman Holmer to be vice president of the council in 1987. Mr. Miller moved, seconded by Ms. Ehrman, to cast a unanimous ballot for the presidential and vice presidential nominees. Roll call vote; the motion carried unanimously, 7:0. II. PUBLIC FORUM Mayor Obie announced that the Public Forum is an opportunity for people to express opinions and provide information to the council about issues which are not scheduled for council consideration. He said the council will not respond immediately to the concerns expressed. Bill Lioio, 3676 Sisters View Avenue, said he is self-employed as a private processor. He said his normal work sometimes involves locating people so they can be served with legal papers. That kind of work is not regulated by the City. He said he has been asked to take statements from people for civil cases and that kind of work is defined as lIinvestigationll in the City ordinance. He said it is possible he would take statements for criminal cases. Mr. Lioio said he is not worried about the City licensing procedures but the City requires insurance for investigative work that would cost him over $1,000 annually. He said he cannot afford the insurance and, consequently, cannot do the work. He said the City ordinance, therefore, would deprive him of an opportunity to increase his income. He said he would like to remain in business and, perhaps, expand his business. MINUTES--Eugene City Council January 12, 1987 Page 1
