MINUTES <br /> <br /> Eugene City Council <br /> Work Session <br /> McNutt Room--Eugene City Hall <br /> <br /> January 14, 2002 <br /> 5:30 p.m. <br /> <br />COUNCILORS PRESENT: Betty Taylor, David Kelly, Nancy Nathanson, Scott Meisner, Gary <br /> Rayor, Gary Pap~, Bonny Bettman, Pat Farr. <br /> <br />CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION <br /> <br />Mayor James D. Torrey called the meeting to order. <br /> <br />A. Items from Mayor, Council, and City Manager <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor recalled that in the past, a committee of Eugene, Springfield, and Lane County <br />representatives was formed to discuss animal control, but while she was appointed to the <br />committee, it never met. She suggested the City ask the County and Springfield to meet to discuss <br />the topic, and indicated willingness to participate. <br /> <br />Mr. Rayor reported that he would be sending a letter as an individual to the Springfield City <br />Council regarding its decision to rezone 22 acres of a site for a proposed sports complex to <br />Campus Industrial; he indicated he would provide a copy to the council in the next council packet. <br /> <br />Mr. Rayor said he was contacted by the chair of the East Alton Baker Park Citizen Planning <br />Committee regarding the City's parks projects in West and East Alton Baker Park, and he wanted <br />to ensure that City staff was not bypassing the committee in its planning processes. He would <br />ensure the committee was getting the information it needed. He said that if consideration was to <br />be given to allowing Lane Transit District to take access through the park across the bridge, he <br />considered it critical to have the committee as the first filter in the process. <br /> <br />Mr. Rayor said he had been asked by a constituent to drive Gilham and Ayres roads and Delta <br />Highway at night, roads he had found difficult to negotiate because of a combination of vertical <br />and horizontal alignments and lack of illumination. Staff subsequently indicated that illumination <br />improvements were planned. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman reported that the most recent council packet included her summary notes from the <br />seminars she participated in while attending the Railvolution Conference in San Francisco. She <br />said that the notes included some information on boulevards, an approach she wanted to raise for <br /> <br /> MINUTES--Eugene City Council January 14, 2002 Page 1 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br /> <br />
