ITEMS FROM MAYOR & COUNCIL, APPOINTMENTS, ANNOUNCEMENTS, AGENDA ADJUSTMENTS A. Determination of Public Hearing Closure Ms. Miller stated that in regard to Agenda Item IV--Spyglass-Greenview Bikeway Connector--the public hearing has been closed and it will not be re-opened unless the chair is overruled by the council. B. L-COG Questionnaire Ms. Schue requested that the councilors complete the L-COG questionnaire and return it to Elaine Stewart, acting council assistant. e C. Eugene Fire Department Information Mr. Lindberg stated that last Thursday, he spent 24 hours as a volunteer with the Eugene Fire Department. The 'people in this department are a highly commit- ted, technically proficient, professional group of individuals. Fire service includes more than dealing with just fires. As a result of his visit with the Fire Department, he urged the council to support a bill in the State legislature, as a priority one item, for cigarettes that are self-extinguishing. This could alleviate 25 to 30 percent of the fire deaths that occur in Oregon. D. Request for Amendment to Section 9.254 of the Eugene City Code Mr. Lindberg stated that there are some operators of day care centers in Eugene who are unwittingly violating City and State ordinances. He requested that staff prepare a code amendment to address the maximum number of children allowed to participate in family day care. He would request that this be a maximum of five children rather than three. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council July 22, 1981 Page 1 ~
