MINUTES <br />Eugene City Council <br />Council Chamber — Eugene City Hall <br />777 Pearl Street — Eugene, Oregon <br />October 18, 2010 <br />6:15 p.m. <br />COUNCILORS PRESENT: Alan Zelenka, Betty Taylor, George Poling, Chris Pryor, George Brown. <br />COUNCILORS ABSENT: Mike Clark, Jennifer Solomon, Andrea Ortiz. <br />City Council Vice President Betty Taylor called the meeting of the Eugene City Council to order. <br />A. Boards and Commissions Interviews <br />The council interviewed Martha Fish, Ann -Marie Lemire, James Manning, Jr., and Elizabeth Andrade for <br />positions on the City's Human Rights Commission. All candidates were asked the following questions: <br />1. What is the City's role in addressing human rights? <br />2. What are the most important human rights issues facing the City of Eugene and what are your <br />ideas for addressing those, or what are some models of success you have seen? <br />3. What do you think are the differences between volunteering for a community human rights group <br />and volunteering for the municipal Human Rights Commission? <br />4. We recognize that many people apply to serve on the Human Rights Commission because they are <br />passionate about a particular group or a specific issue. It's important that commissioners have <br />the ability to work on a range of human rights issues. Assess your ability to work with others on <br />issues that may not be your top concern. <br />5. Serving on the commission requires a significant time and energy commitment. Tell us about your <br />ability to balance commission work with other demands in your life. <br />Ms. Taylor thanked all the candidates and indicated that absent councilors would listen to the recording of <br />the interview. She indicated that the council would make appointment recommendations in the next week. <br />Ms. Taylor adjourned the meeting at 7:15 p.m. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Beth Forrest <br />City Recorder <br />(Recorded by Kimberly Young) <br />MINUTES— Eugene City Council October 18, 2010 Page 1 <br />Boards and Commissions Interviews <br />
