He said he looked forward to helping with the annual River Clean-Up. He encouraged anyone watching the proceeding to join the event. He expressed appreciation for the manner in which Ms. Dailey had presented her concerns regarding the skateboarding ordinance. He hoped that staff would follow up on it. He also agreed with the supporters of Civic Stadium, adding that there was no better place to be at 7:05 p.m. on a summer evening. He said he would consider forming a committee but he felt that the group that was already formed would do a better job as it was a grassroots effort. Councilor Zelenka indicated he would support the rental housing code as it was presented in the packet. Regarding the mold issue, he felt university students should be involved in the conversation. He also averred that preserving Civic Stadium was incumbent upon all of the citizens of Eugene. He noted that a work session on saving the stadium was scheduled for later in June. Councilor Ortiz thanked everyone for providing testimony. She said she would send an email regarding the skateboarding enforcement policies to the Police Commission as that body was charged with policy review. She also appreciated Mr. Brown’s testimony regarding the river. She related that the new River Bend hospital facility had instituted stringent rules about what could and could not be put down the drain and suggested that the City adopt similar rules. 2.
