had not seen any deviation from established standards in the loan program; decisions were based on a <br />compilation of the applicant’s character, collateral and cash flow. <br /> <br />Councilor Papé suggested that credit worthiness standards be developed and written down so that all <br />applicants were evaluated in the same way. <br /> <br />Roll call vote; Consent Agenda Item C, adoption of Resolution 4829 concerning the <br />City’s Historic Loan Program; repealing Resolution No. 3440; adopting a new His- <br />toric Loan Program; and providing an effective date, passed, 8:0. <br /> <br /> <br />3. ACTION: An Ordinance Concerning Transportation System Maintenance Fees (TSMF) and <br />Adding Sections 7.750 through 7.790 to the Eugene Code, 1971 <br /> <br />Councilor Solomon, seconded by Councilor Ortiz, moved that the City Council <br />adopt Council Bill 4931, an ordinance concerning a Transportation System Main- <br />tenance Fee. <br /> <br />Councilor Bettman stated that with the motion on the table there were at least ten amendments to be <br />considered; that would be a waste of time if there was no support to adopt the ultimate ordinance. She <br />suggested withdrawing the motion on the table and putting in place a motion to not move the ordinance <br />forward so that if there was no support for the ordinance it would go away and the amendments would not <br />need to be considered. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy suggested taking up Councilor Taylor’s motions first as they would either table the motion or <br />return the ordinance to a work session for further refinement. <br /> <br />Councilor Bettman, seconded by Councilor Taylor, moved to table the motion to <br />adopt the TSMF ordinance. <br /> <br />Councilor Kelly pointed out that an item could be tabled to later in the meeting while the alternative motions <br />were discussed and then removed from the table for further consideration. <br /> <br />Councilor Bettman questioned why time should be spent discussing the amendments if there was intent to <br />remove the item from the table later in the meeting, requiring consideration of all the amendments again. <br /> <br />Roll call vote, the vote to table the motion to adopt the TSMF ordinance was a tie, <br />4:4; councilors Bettman, Kelly, Pryor, and Taylor voting in favor and councilors <br />Ortiz, Poling, Solomon and Papé voting in opposition. Mayor Piercy voted in op- <br />position and the motion failed on a final vote of 5:4. <br /> <br />Councilor Bettman, seconded by Councilor Ortiz, moved to amend the main motion <br />to add a new subsection (3) to section 7.760 of the ordinance as follows: “As long <br />as the TSMF is collected, the percentage of all other transportation revenue that is <br />allocated to operations, maintenance, and preservation on the effective date of this <br />ordinance shall continue to be allocated for those purposes at the same percentage.” <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council November 27, 2006 Page 5 <br /> Regular Meeting <br /> <br />
