PUBLIC HEARING: ORDINANCE CREATING THE NEW EUGENE PRIVATE INDUSTRY COUNCIL UNDER THE JOB TRAINING PARTNERSHIP ACT (memo, ordinance distributed) e Mr. Gleason introduced Gary Long, Administrative Services Director, and Lee Beyer, Eugene Job Training Center. Mr. Long said that the ordinance before the council would implement the Job Training Partnership Act. He noted that the guidelines of the new act called for a 17-member advisory group, which would replace the former seven-member Eugene Private Industry Council. He said that the categories of representation were very specific but that the council did have the option of adding more members if further representation was desired. Mr. Long said that, as required in the enacting legislation, the list of nomina- tions to the new Private Industry Council had been reviewed by the Chamber of Commerce. Public hearing was opened. There being no testimony, public hearing was closed. CB 2630--An ordinance concerning the Eugene Private Industry Council under the Job Training Partnership Act (Public Law 97--300); amending Sections 2.013,2.137,2.139, 2.141 of the Eugene Code, 1971; providing an effective date; and declaring an emergency. e Ms. Schue moved, seconded by Mr. Obie, that the bill be read the second time by council bill number only, with unanimous consent of the council, and that enactment be considered at this time. Councilor Schue said that she was uncomfortable with the suggested list of appointees, which included 14 men, three women, and no minority members. She felt that more could have been done in terms of affirmative action in developing the list. She suggested that the council consider enlarging the group to include more protected class members. Tim Sercombe, City Attorney's Office, noted that if the council wanted to change the ordinance, the public hearing would need to be reopened. He said he believed that the existing language provided leeway for appointing additional people. MINUTES--Eugene City Council April 20, 1983 Page 2
