e C. Council Appointments Ms. Schue moved, seconded by Mr. Green, to appoint Larry Hedberg and Johnathan Stafford to the Downtown Commission; and Jerry Blakely to the Eugene/Springfield Metropolitan Partner- ship. Roll call vote; the motion carried unanimously, 7:0. D. Council's Position on the Tree Ordinance Ms. Ehrman noted that she would be attending a meeting of the Board of County Commissioners regarding the Tree Ordinance and asked for discussion about the council's final position on the issues. After discussion, the council agreed unanimously that the City's Hearing's Official should be the appeal body for the ordinance. E- State of the City Address Mayor Miller asked the council for input on what format should be used for this year's State of the City Address. Some councilors favored a noon-time session because it provided the greatest opportunity for community participa- tion while others favored an evening session because it allowed more time for the swearing-in ceremony. After discussion, the council agreed on an evening forum to be held at the Hult Center. F. Budget Committee Lay Member Appointment Process e Mayor Miller said that the Council Committee on Committees discussed the appointment process for lay members of the Budget Committee and agreed that the process should be changed. The committee recommended an at-large member appointment process and that the interview and appointment process should be similar to the Planning Commission model. The committee also agreed on the need for a job description stipulating the Budget Committee's role in the budget process. Ms. Ehrman said that providing that there are enough candidates, she favors the current process of appointing candidates by wards, rather than the sug- gested at-large appointment process. The council called for preliminary staff work on this issue prior to a coun- cil work session. Mayor Miller announced that the Agenda Item V (Council Vacancy Appointments) would be moved up to item II so that Ms. Schue could be present for discus- sion. II. COUNCIL VACANCY APPOINTMENTS Mr. Holmer announced that he would be resigning as council representative from Ward 5. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council November 7, 1990 Page 3
