on input from the meeting, both pro and con, the organization planned to formulate and vote on a <br />recommendation. In closing, she stated that the process had served as a catalyst to unify the community <br />and for that she was grateful. <br /> <br />Kathy Saranpa, 3015 Friendly Street, chair of the Crest Drive Citizens Association, applauded the <br />council's work on behalf of the neighborhood. She was gratified that the council had taken the time to <br />listen to comments and concerns and that the council made thoughtful and valuable suggestions to staff. <br />She commented that trust was an issue for the neighborhood and, upon seeing on the agenda that financing <br />options for the neighborhood were being discussed, concerned Crest Drive neighbors had no idea context- <br />sensitive design would also be discussed. Neighbors felt the postcard received during the previous <br />weekend was not adequate notice. She said the proposal to form a land improvement district (LID) before <br />context-sensitive design (CSD) standards had been developed caused her uneasiness. She related that <br />neighbors present at the work session were happy that no action had been taken at this time and hoped <br />they would be adequately informed prior to the next development. <br /> <br />Ms. Saranpa also expressed neighborhood opposition to the recent decision by the Lane Transit District <br />(LTD) to cut one more trip from Route 22. She urged the City Council to pass a resolution to support <br />Senator Bill Morrisette's bill in the State Legislature to make the LTD Board an elected board. <br /> <br />Gary E. Rayor, 2373 Washington Street, speaking on behalf of the Lane Regional Air Pollution <br />Authority (LRAPA) board, announced that the director had recently resigned. He explained that his <br />departure had to do with employee relations and annual reviews and not with the Toxics Right-to-Know <br />program. He said there was a transition plan in place to find a new director and, at present, the senior <br />management was not comfortable taking the director's place due to the turmoil in the agency. <br /> <br />Continuing, Mr. Rayor discussed the LH Baxter Company, a source of hundreds of air quality complaints, <br />most of which were substantiated. He said the Center for Disease Control and the State Department of <br />Environmental Quality (DEQ) had come together to try to analyze the air emissions from Baxter to see the <br />effect on the neighborhood. He related that the two agencies had not found conclusive evidence without <br />further testing to determine what was getting into the neighborhood and where. He stated that the LRAPA <br />Board had passed a motion to add air monitoring testing to Baxter's agreement with LRAPA and results <br />from those tests would be turned over to the Center for Disease Control. While this did not alleviate the <br />nuisance odor, he felt it would assess the health impacts of living in proximity to JH Baxter Company. He <br />added that he appreciated being an LRAPA board member. <br /> <br />Tom Watson, 1963-7th Street, Springfield, wished to address the council in response to the news of the <br />external police review. He pointed out that the violations committed by the two officers, now in prison, <br />had been occurring for some years prior to their convictions for being sexual predators. He thought <br />everyone involved had been very light-handed in their regard. He related that he had become acquainted <br />with one of Roger Magana's victims, adding that her life had become "hell" because of being victimized. <br />He asserted that after turning in evidence, this woman had been discarded. He said the City had neither <br />apologized to her, nor helped her bring her life back together. He noted that $108,000 was being spent on <br />the review of the Eugene Police Department (EPD), but millions would have to be paid to the victims of <br />the crimes. He was concerned about how the other officers would be held accountable for their behavior. <br />He alleged there were other predatory officers who had not been sanctioned. He asked the City to <br />consider paying more money and taking a deeper look into the EPD and encouraged the council not to be <br />"hindered by politics." <br /> <br /> MINUTES--Eugene City Council January 24, 2005 Page 2 <br /> Regular Session <br /> <br /> <br />
