Lisa Dunn, no address given, said that the City declared it felt badly for the victims of former police <br />officers Lara and Magana but no one apologized to them. She averred the City had "enough money to <br />build fire stations" but did not help the victims to get their lives back on track. She stated that She had <br />filed a complaint with Senator Ron Wyden's office which referred her to the commissioners' office <br />regarding several other policeman's conduct issues, but "the case was closed the same day." She alleged <br />there was no accountability nor was there justice and there were still "crooked cops" on the street. She <br />felt the system portrayed her as a mentally ill drug addict who could not take care of herself or her <br />daughter. She asserted that before the police officers took advantage of her she had been a normal person. <br />Now, she said, she had lost her daughter, her soul, and her mind. She reiterated that she had not been <br />treated fairly or with respect. <br /> <br />Drew Ericson, 630 South 9th Street, Creswell, announced a community event scheduled for January 28 to <br />benefit Direct Relief International for aid to the tsunami victims of Southeast Asia. He listed the <br />restaurants that were donating their food and services to the buffet dinner scheduled to start at 5 p.m. and <br />thanked them publicly for their donations. He said the music would be world beat music and it would be a <br />family event. He underscored that Direct Relief International gave donated money directly to the people <br />who needed it the most. He added that it was always great to see the community come together and raise <br />money for local causes and this was a chance to come together and raise money for international causes. <br /> <br />Lonny Whelchel, PO Box 101 F, Florence, congratulated the new councilors and especially Mayor Kitty <br />Piercy. He wished to discuss the tsunami relief effort. He asserted that many people were donating <br />money without really having a sense of where it was going. He said donations to Direct Relief <br />International were a way that one could be assured that the money spent was going for direct relief to <br />tsunami victims. He stated that the benefit would include familiar faces from the local entertainment <br />community. He stressed that it was a family event with all kinds of music. He hoped there would be a big <br />turnout and that the benefit would raise lots of money. He said fliers were available in the back of the <br />Council Chamber. <br /> <br />Paul T. Biondi, PO Box 609, Veneta, said the tsunami benefit would bring Lane County together to do <br />something on a world level. He was honored to be part of this event. He repeated that, while previous <br />benefits had been for adults only, this one was oriented toward families. He said schools were getting <br />involved and there would, perhaps, be a pen pals program set up between children hit by the tsunami and <br />local children. He asked everyone to put the word out on the benefit. He noted that the Lane County <br />Fairgrounds had donated the space. <br /> <br /> Terry Connolly, 1401 Willamette Street, representing the Eugene Area Chamber of Commerce, wished to <br /> bring to the council's attention the chamber's concern over the scope and purpose of the public hearing <br /> scheduled for February 14 pertaining to an ordinance regarding the Toxics Right-to-Know. He said the <br /> ordinance was being "portrayed" as one method to address the fee equity in the current Toxics Right-to- <br /> Know program. He alleged that a closer look at the ordinance indicated no clear connection with the <br /> Toxics Right-to-Know program. He said the charter was clear with respect to which categories of <br /> businesses were subject to these regulations and the charter could not be amended through an ordinance to <br /> include new and different businesses. Mr. Connelly shared the chamber's belief that the new ordinance <br /> would create a new and separate community right-to-know program that resided in City Code instead of <br /> charter. He asserted that the ramifications included that it would have to be set up in accordance with the <br /> Community Right-to-Know Protection Act, it would be separate from the City Charter and would require <br /> its own governing structure, the Toxics Board would have no jurisdiction over it, the program would <br /> require its own source of funding, and would have to develop its own criteria regarding what must be <br /> <br /> MINUTES--Eugene City Council January 24, 2005 Page 3 <br /> Regular Session <br /> <br /> <br />
