MINUTES <br /> <br /> Eugene City Council <br /> McNutt Room--City Hall <br /> <br /> June 14, 1999 <br /> 5:30 p.m. <br /> <br />COUNCILORS PRESENT: Scott Meisner, Nancy Nathanson, Betty Taylor, David Kelly, Gary <br /> Rayor, Gary PapS. <br /> <br />COUNCILORS ABSENT: Pat Farr, Bobby Lee. <br /> <br />Mr. Torrey called the meeting to order, and acknowledged the presence of Lane County <br />Commissioners Bobby Green and Bill Dwyer and former City Councilor Ken Tollenaar, who were <br />present for the first agenda item. <br /> <br />CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION <br /> <br />A. Council Goals: Community Policing <br /> <br />City Manager Jim Johnson introduced the topic. He called the council's attention to the cover memorandum <br />included with the meeting packet entitled Work Session on Council Goal ora Safe Community, which <br />provided background on the possibility of a revenue measure resulting from the work of the Public Safety <br />Coordinating Council (PSCC) and the potential the City could seek Eugene-only funding if no revenues were <br />available from that measure or if it failed. Mr. Johnson said that the council could identify those services that <br />it would fund with shared revenues from a successful PSCC measure or from a Eugene-only measure. He <br />suggested that the council might wish to cancel its joint meetings with the Planning Commission and Human <br />Rights Commission to identify the components of a Eugene-only ballot measure. <br /> <br />Mr. Pap6 arrived at the meeting. <br /> <br />Mr. Johnson distributed an election schedule and called the council's attention to key dates. He also <br />distributed the results of a survey of 600 Lane County residents regarding the proposed public safety program. <br /> <br />Police Chief Jim Hill described the four focus areas of the City's Community Policing Program--Youth <br />Prevention, Neighborhood Support, Improved Service to Citizens, and Human Services for Community <br />Policing and Youth--and reviewed their current status, proposed added programming, and associated funding. <br />The programs proposed for the four focus areas were more fully described in a document in the meeting packet <br />entitled A Vision for Implementing the City Council's SAFE COMMUNITY Goal: Community Policing and <br />Youth Prevention Programs. <br /> <br />Mr. Torrey asked the council to discuss the Community Policing Program funding and the relationship of the <br />program funding to the PSCC measure. <br /> <br /> MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 14, 1999 Page 1 <br /> 5:30 p.m. <br /> <br /> <br />
