Louisa Hammechek, Ward 1, noted it was National Police Week and she expressed her appreciation for the police and for finding the youth who stole her truck. She was happy to have friendly relations with the police after hearing about the police crackdown on youth camping. She had served on the Opportunity Eugene Task Force and had felt good about the outcome as the task force agreed that the homeless would not be treated roughly by the police. She was disappointed to hear that after that effort, the City allowed the police to crack down on homeless camping. She asked the council to stop that practice. Ms. Hammechek then discussed her concerns about a timber sale in the McKenzie Basin and said it would be foolish of the council not to protect the watershed. Mayor Piercy closed the Public Forum. She called on the council for questions or comments. Councilor Taylor thanked all those who spoke, particularly Mr. Robinowitz. 2. CONSENT CALENDAR A.
