ITEMS FROM MAYOR & COUNCIL, APPOINTMENTS, ANNOUNCEMENTS, AGENDA ADJUSTMENTS <br /> <br />A. Suggested Reconsideration of Start-Up Date of New Sewer Rate Structure <br /> <br />Councilor Wooten noted that the proposed new sewer rate structure was scheduled <br />to go into effect with March 1, 1983, billings. She said that since these bills <br />were for service provided in the month of February, this meant that the fee <br />would be charged for a period prior to the council IS public hearing and decision <br />on the proposed changes. She therefore urged that the date of initiation of the <br />4Ia new rate structure be reconsidered. <br /> <br />B. Federal Procurement Conference to be Held in Eugene <br /> <br />Councilor Wooten announced that Congressman Jim Weaverls office had received <br />notice of preliminary approval of a Federal procurement conference to be held in <br />Eugene. She said that approximately 30 Federal contract officers would be <br />coming to Eugene to discuss Federal procurement procedures. <br /> <br />C. Economic Development Grants to Veneta and Cottage Grove <br /> <br />Councilor Wooten said Congressman Jim Weaver's office wished to announce that <br />firms in Veneta and Cottage Grove had been awarded several thousand dollars as <br />part of an economic development program operated by the Department of Housing <br />and Urban Development. <br /> <br />D. Woonerf Design Development Workshop <br /> <br />Councilor Lindberg referred to an article in a recent issue of the newsletter of <br />the West University Neighbors and noted that the neighborhood group would be <br />holding a design development workshop at 7:30 p.m. on February 3, 1983, at the <br />Central Presbyterian Church to discuss design of the Woonerf area. He said that <br />some councilors had expressed concern about the Woonerf design when the council <br />had previously considered this concept, and he urged councilors to attend the <br />meeting and take part in discussion of design issues. <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />MINUTES--Eugene City Council <br /> <br />January 26, 1983 <br /> <br />Page 1 <br />
