<br />- <br /> <br />M I NUT E S <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL <br />May 30, 1979 <br /> <br />Adjourned meeting from May 29, 1979, of the City Council of the City of Eugene, <br />Oregon, was called to order by His Honor Mayor Gus Keller at 11:40 a.m., May 30, <br />1979, Council Chambers, with the following Councilors present: Jack Delay, <br />Betty Smith, D.W. Hamel, Eric Haws, Scott lieuallen, Brian Obie, Gretchen <br />Miller, and Emily Schue. <br /> <br />I. ITEMS FROM MAYOR AND COUNCIL <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />A. <br /> <br />Increase in Swimming Pool Fees <br /> <br />Mr. Haws asked if City swimming pool rates had risen from $25 to $78 <br />as he had heard from his constituents. Mr. Drapela replied that Parks <br />is trying to keep all pools open and that, effective June 7, 1979, <br />daily swim fees will be increased. Season passes will need to be <br />increased commensurate with three daily admissions a week. In the <br />past, season passes have been a bargain. Staff has considered doing <br />away with the season passes. A family yearly pass has gone from $50 <br />to $216. Mr. Drapela said the season pass is no longer a super bar- <br />gain since the City is faced with closing Jefferson Pool. This <br />increase seems a reasonable action. Mr. Haws asked that a fee <br />schedule be submitted to the Council. <br /> <br />B. <br /> <br />Clarification of Eliminated Position--Mr. Obie said he continues <br />to get calls that Mel Jackson, Parks, is leaving the City because of <br />budget cuts. It was his understanding that the position might be <br />eliminated but that the individual was not to be dismissed from the <br />City. He asked if this was correct. Mr. Martin said that that was <br />the best answer to offer at this point. Mr. Jackson has not been in <br />the Outdoor Program in over a year. The functions he has been per- <br />forming in that Department in the last six months have been cut from <br />the budget. Mr. Martin said there is still work to be done and Mr. <br />Jackson may assist in that regard, may shift to another existing <br />position, or may choose to go elsewhere. <br /> <br />Ground-Breaking for Wastewater Treatment Plant--Ms. Smith noted <br />that the ground-breaking for the Metropolitan Wastewater Treatment <br />Plant is at 11 a.m., Thursday May 1, 1979, at 400 River Avenue. <br /> <br />C. <br /> <br />D. <br /> <br /> <br />5/30/79--1 <br /> <br />307 <br />
