<br />RELATED CITY POLICIES <br />The City of Eugene has previously granted authority to the University of Oregon’s Department of Public <br />Safety officers to enforce certain municipal violations if there is cause for them to do so, including some <br />violations for which there are no comparable offenses under State law, such as violation of the City’s <br />noise ordinance. Although granting such authority for municipal violations is not a common practice, <br />the City of Eugene has also previously extended enforcement authority to Lane County Animal <br />Regulation to enforce municipal code violations regarding animal offenses. <br /> <br />The City Council has two vision statements that are reflected in this proposal: Safe Community – a <br />community where people feel safe, valued and welcome; and Effective, Accountable Municipal <br />Government – a government that works openly, collaboratively, and fairly with the community to <br />achieve measurable and positive outcomes. <br /> <br /> <br />COUNCIL OPTIONS <br /> <br />The City Council has these options: <br /> <br />1.Schedule a public hearing on the proposed amendment to EC 4.035 – Citation Authority of UO <br />Department of Public Safety Officers for October 19, 2009. <br /> <br />2.Schedule a public hearing on the proposed amendment to EC 4.035 – Citation Authority of UO <br />Department of Public Safety Officers for another date. <br /> <br />3.Decline to schedule a public hearing on the proposal at this time. <br /> <br /> <br />CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />The City Manager recommends scheduling a public hearing on the proposed amendment to EC 4.035 – <br />Citation Authority of UO Department of Public Safety Officers for October 19, 2009. <br /> <br /> <br />SUGGESTED MOTION <br /> <br />Move to set a public hearing date on October 19, 2009, for consideration of the proposal to amendment <br />Eugene Code 4.035 – Citation Authority of UO Department of Public Safety Officers. <br /> <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS <br /> <br />A.
