Ms. Anderson told members this received a close vote by the Planning Commission. - Ms. Bascom said it should not be put in because it was not fully discussed. Mr. Holmer said this would eliminate a lot of economic activity, since components are used for a variety of items including childrens toys. Mr. Obie said the City was trying to attract computer firms and this item could affect that effort. Motion failed 4:4. Ms. Schue moved, seconded by Ms. Ehrman, to del ete the words "or nuclear weapons components" from Suggested Action 2.4 on page 10. Motion passed 7:1. On page 11, Suggested Action 6.2, (Press the Federal and State governments to establish standards to reduce turbidity...) Ms. Ehrman told members this was not in keeping with the present regulations. It was requested that staff check to see if this item was in keeping with the present State and Federal regulations. Ms. Ehrman asked why "education" was to be deleted from Suggested Action 1.3. Ms. Decker told her to make the action broader. The change was suggested by Eugene Water and Electric Board. Ms. Ehrman moved, seconded by Mr. Ball, to leave "education" in Suggested Action 1.3. Motion failed 3:4. Ms. Decker asked that Policy 2.0 on page 13 have the word "uncommon" taken out. She noted the word was not well defined. The language in the staff e recommendation also would add reference to a legally adopted statewide list, consistent with language in the Metroplitan Plan. Mr. Holmer moved, seconded by Ms. Ehrman, to approve the staff recommendation. Motion carried 7:1. Mr. Holmer moved, seconded by Mr. Hansen, to delete Policy 4.0 on page 14. (Work with Southern Pacific to encourage activities within the right-of-way which conform to Eugene goals and policies.) Ms. Decker told members the conference did not vote on Policy 4.0, since it was one of the amendments not considered due to lack of time. Ms. Wooten told members about the problems of maintaining the right-of-way and cited the history of Southern Pacific's failure to cooperate in solving problems. Mr. Obie did not want to single out one industry in the document. He added that the confer- ence did not deal with 4.0. Ms. Anderson said the Planning Commission added 4.0 but did not discuss it in detail. Motion carried 5:2. F. Culture and Leisure Ms. Ehrman moved, seconded by Ms. Wooten, that Suggested Action 4.5 on page 16 read "Maintain public swimming pools" and that the underlined portion not be inserted (as long as it is financially e feasible for the City to provide these services). Motion carried 5:2 and 1 abstaining. MINUTES--Eugene City Council Dinner Session August 13, 1984 Page 4
