e By consensus, the council agreed that it would ask the Lane County Board of Commissioners to extend the tree ordinance regulations within the UGB until another agreement can be negotiated. C. Review of the Vending Ordinance in the West University Neighborhood Ms. Ehrman reported that a constituent has requested that the council consid- er broadening the vending ordinance governing the West University Neighbor- hood. The ordinance, which is currently in place, regulates vending by the type of activity (it only permits food, beverage, flowers, and balloons) and the distance between similar vendors. Ms. Ehrman said that Greta Utecht, Planning and Development Department, is presently reviewing the ordinance, and asked that this issue be included in this review. Mr. Boles said that it is very important that the ordinance retain the non- competitiveness aspect and suggested that the council explore limiting the number of licenses by activity. Mr. MacDonald suggested that Ms. Utecht explore creative ways to address the issue. Mr. Nicholson suggested that the council consider broadening the definition of uses permitted in the area, such as permitting only self-manu- factured products, for instance. The council agreed on the need to explore this issue more fully and asked that these issues be incorporated into the ordinance update for future coun- e cil discussion. D. Helicopter Flyovers at the Lane County Fair Ms. Ehrman voiced concern that the helicopter that was allowed to fly over the Lane County Fair posed some potential safety hazards and asked that the council find a way of tightening its regulation so that this would not be permitted in the future. Ms. Norris said that this issue has been flagged for discussion. II. WORK SESSION: SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING ISSUES Greta Utecht, Planning and Development Department, gave the staff presenta- tion. The purpose of this work session is for the council to give direction to staff and the Solid Waste and Recycling Board (SWRB) about the future of the City's solid waste collection system. Ms. Utecht noted that SB66, passed in the recent legislative session, will greatly impact the solid waste and recycling program. At the council's request, the board is exploring whether changing Eugene's current collection system to one which establishes exclu- sive hauling territories would help the City meet State requirements and the community's goals. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council September 23, 1991 Page 2 Dinner Meeting
