H. Grateful Dead/Bob Dylan Concert e City Manager Mike Gleason reported that Lane County Administrator Jim Johnson had issued a Request For Proposals to allow camping facilities at Alton Baker Park during the Grateful Dead/Bob Dylan concert to be held this summer. He said no proposals had been received, and he noted that it probably would be difficult to enforce the camping ordinance with the expected crowd of 10,000 to 15,000 people. Mr. Gleason said he would be meeting with Paul Olum to discuss plans, which still were unclear. He added that more information about the event was needed and said the council would receive a report as soon as possible. Mr. Bennett noted that Alton Baker Park was in his ward, and although he had received no calls on the issue, he would like to be kept informed. Mr. Gl eason reported that he had another commi tment, which he would be attending for Mr. Bennett and himself. He left the meeting at 12:25 p.m. II. AGREEMENTS REGARDING CORRECTIONS FACILITIES AND PROGRAMS Assistant City Manager Dave Whitlow introduced the item. Sandy Franklin of Municipal Court presented the staff report. She noted that a memo in agenda packets covered background of the corrections issue. She said that after the 1986 Federal Court order placing a maximum on the number of inmates in the Lane County Jail, corrections space for municipal offenders had become a critical situation. She asked that the City Manager be authorized to enter into two agreements with Lane County. e Ms. Franklin said the first agreement was a short-term one that would take effect on July 1, 1987, and would provide a temporary, 18-bed addition to the Lane County corrections center. She said that facility would remain until completion of the permanent 88-bed addition to the jail, which was expected to occur in about July 1988. Ms. Franklin said the long-term agreement would take effect in January 1988 and would provide for municipal corrections space on a flat-rate basis with the County. She said that agreement would extend for slightly more than ten years, adding that staff had worked hard on the agreement and thought it was an excellent proposal. She also noted that the agreement fit the City budget for the next year and would provide needed space, and she said staff felt it was appropriate that Lane County continue its long-time role as the regional provider of corrections facilities and programs. Ms. Franklin reported that Councilors Ehrman and Schue had been present at the Metropolitan Policy Committee when it had given conceptual approval to the agreements. Mr. Rutan asked what would happen if the City had more than 18 offenders. Ms. Franklin said that under the short-term agreement, the City would receive additional space if it was available. She added that the City did not anticipate having more than 18 offenders, but if it did, they would be subject e MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 17, 1987 Page 4
