II. PUBLIC FORUM Mayor Obie said the Public Forum is an opportunity for people to express opinions and provide information to the council about issues that are not scheduled for council consideration. He said the council will not respond immediately to the concerns expressed. John English, 1620 I Street, Springfield, said a male strip-tease show was held in the Eugene Community Conference Center and he does not think that is an appropriate use for City property. Mr. English said many people are trying to increase the economic health of Eugene. One of the best selling points is the quality of life in Eugene and a strip-tease show does not indicate a good quality of life. He said the show was advertised as being at the Hilton Hotel, but the Hilton Hotel management said the show was in the Eugene Community Conference Center. He asked the council to review the City contract with the Hilton Hotel and to establish guidelines about the use of City property. Mayor Obie asked the City Manager to respond in writing to Mr. English's testimony. MINUTES--Eugene City Council April 13, 1987 Page 1
