<br /> Paget Engen, Legislative Lobbyist, stated that the City of Eugene did <br /> not lose much at all. However, it was an intense, painful situation <br /> for the legislators. . <br /> H. Report from Cliff Hague, Planner from Scotland <br /> Mr. Henry stated that Cliff Hague, planner from the University of <br /> Edinburgh, is finishing his exchange term with John Porter. He <br /> introduced Mr. Hague to give a report. <br /> Mr. Hague stated that he feels there are three valuable things he <br /> has 1 earned: the nature of land as a resource, control of development, <br /> and citizen involvement. There are many differences between Edinburgh <br /> and Eugene. The buildings in Eugene are much newer and the physical <br /> environment is very different. Both areas are involved with land use <br /> planning. The use of non-renewable resources in Eugene, along with <br /> low density, many parking lots, and air pollution are much different <br /> than in Edinburgh. The public transportation is not as good here. He <br /> suggests that Eugene has done as much as it can considering the scope <br /> of the land use planning and attitudes. He would suggest changes to <br /> higher density and better public transportation. He feels that <br /> Scotland could learn from Eugene's citizen involvement, and also <br /> in regard to bikeway development. He thanked the council and the <br /> Planning Department. Mayor Keller noted that he had enjoyed meeting <br /> Mr. Hague. <br /> Mr. Lieuallen asked how public transportation in Scotland is financed <br /> and perceived by the public. Mr. Hague stated that in the cities it e <br /> is financed by local taxes and in rural areas there is a national <br /> company. They have held their fares constant since 1976 because of <br /> previous experiences with raising fares and thereby losing ridership. <br /> II. ROUTINE ITEMS <br /> A. Approval of Council Minutes of July 16, 28, and 31, 1980 <br /> Ms. Smith moved, seconded by Mr. Lieuallen, to approve council <br /> minutes of July 16, 28, and 31, 1980. Roll call vote; motion <br /> carried unanimously. <br /> B. Finance Resolution (memo distributed) <br /> Mr. Henry noted that these grants are CETA start-up grants <br /> for the City to become a prime sponsor. <br /> Res. No. 3411--A resolution authorizing appropriation and expenditure <br /> of two CETA grants totaling $30,677. <br /> . <br /> Ms. Smith moved, seconded by Mr. Lieuallen, to adopt the resolution. <br /> Roll call vote; motion carried unanimously. <br /> -- <br /> - <br /> 8/13/80--4 <br />
