W. Hamel, Ray Bradley, Tom Williams, Eric Haws, Jack Delay, <br />Scott Lieuallen, Brian Obie, and Betty Smith. <br /> <br />1. <br /> <br />Items from Mayor and Council <br /> <br />A. Air Quality Maintenance--Mr. Delay expressed concern regarding the <br />City continuing its efforts in terms of air quality in the area. He <br />was disturbed regarding a recent series of setbacks. He felt there <br />was a lack of public comprehension of the entire problem and how it <br />relates to the economic growth of the area, and felt a work session <br />between Council and staff directed toward enlightening the community <br />(in terms of long-range goals) was necessary. He suggested the need <br />for a comprehensive overview to see to what extent the City is being <br />abused. He also felt the legislature was the inappropriate vehicle to <br />develop standards for air quality. Also, he disagreed with the notion <br />that it was a good idea to allow considerable burning this summer to <br />determine what amount of smoke is bothersome. Manager concurred with <br />many of Mr. Delay's statements, and felt it appropriate for City <br />Attorney to make a presentation. He agreed there was a need for a <br />stepped-up public information program, with the community being better <br />informed of the danger to Eugene's entire economy. He noted Stan Long <br />would be present at the April 12 meeting to make such a presentation. <br /> <br />Mayor Keller agreed, noting the City has had some problem in working <br />out a solution with EPA. City officials are willing participants, but <br />it cannot be a one-sided discussion. <br /> <br />B. Residency of Members of Commissions and Boards--Mr. Hamel requested <br />this be an agenda item April 19. Manager noted information was being <br />gathered and would be appropriate for presentation at that time. <br /> <br />C. Public Hearing for T-2000 Plan--Ms. Smith suggested Council hold <br />a special meeting for public hearing on this one item to allow <br />enough time for public input. She suggested the date of May 1. <br /> <br />It was consensus of Council a special meeting for a public hearing <br />on T-2000 would be scheduled with the Mayor and Manager determi- <br />ning the date. <br /> <br />4/5178--1 <br /> <br />1'''' <br />
