how that would impact the neighborhood. He anticipated an amazing event and said he would bring back a <br />motion to the council to clarify its actions related to the matching grants the council allocated to the <br />neighborhoods. He did not believe the match was intended to be matching but rather the grant requests were <br />to be processed under the Neighborhood Matching Grant Program rules. <br /> <br />Mr. Zelenka said the SUN received a neighborhood matching grant and constructed a kiosk for information <br />rd <br />about neighborhood events in University Park at University Street and 23 Avenue. <br /> <br />Mr. Clark was very happy to see the letter referenced by Mr. Pryor, saying it was a conversation the <br />community needed to have in an open and transparent way. He was happy to see so many people were <br />interested in the discussion. <br /> <br />Mr. Clark said he enjoyed the lunch with the Kakegawa delegates. <br /> <br />Mr. Clark said the HRC had elected Annette Leonard as the new chair and Paloma Reza as the new chair, <br />and had said goodbye to some old friends while acknowledging the work ahead. He had raised the issue <br />discussed by the council regarding the use of the word “citizen.” The commission was also working on the <br />taxi accessibility issue and some innovative ways to approach that issue. <br /> <br />Mr. Clark asked to be recognized for a later motion. <br /> <br />Mr. Clark noted his attendance at the Chamber event mentioned by the mayor and said he and Mr. Poling <br />worked to promote sustainability while at the event. <br /> <br />Mr. Clark thanked public safety staff for their work on Safety Day at the Home Depot on October 20. <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor said the delegation appreciated the councilors in attendance. She said those in attendance had a <br />good time. She said the two neighborhood groups she represented were very interested in the council’s work <br />on Crest Drive and the Amazon headwaters. <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor recalled that she requested some information about how much the City had spent to date on the <br />West Broadway project and had not yet received an answer. That included the cost of the committee and the <br />options. She asked how much had been spent to renew the options and if any of the properties involved had <br />been purchased. <br /> <br />Mr. Poling thanked Jan Bohman for her work putting the City’s Chamber booth together. He noted the <br />upcoming Cal Young neighborhood association meeting on October 24. He reminded those viewing that <br />ballots had been sent out and encouraged residents to read the voters pamphlet and vote. <br /> <br />Mr. Poling noted the passing of resident Lucy Lahr, who was involved in a fatal hit and run incident. He <br />extended the council’s condolences to Ms. Lahr’s partner and family. He said that Ms. Lahr was involved <br />in too many activities to mention and would be missed. He was happy to see the police had made an arrest <br />in the hit and run incident. <br /> <br />Ms. Ortiz also extended her condolences to the Lahr family and said the intersection involved was very <br />unsafe. She wanted to meet with neighborhood residents about possible solutions. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council October 22, 2007 Page 2 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br />
