On August 7, 2000, the Eugene City Council created a nine-member Citizen Charter <br />Review Committee (the Committee) to review specific sections, as well as a general review, of the <br />Eugene Charter of 1976. The Committee was appointed by the City Council on December 11,2000. <br /> <br />B. The Committee met throughout 2001, and on January 14, 2002, presented its final <br />recommendations to the City Council. The Committee suggested that "housekeeping" amendments <br />to the Eugene Charter of 1976 be placed on the ballot as a single measure and the other, more <br />substantial amendments be presented to the voters as separate questions. <br /> <br />C. On June 24 and June 25, 2002, the City Council provided direction regarding the <br />amendment to Section 26 of the Eugene Charter of 1976, and on July 8, 2002, during a work session, <br />the City Council approved language regarding the amendment. It would be a substantial amendment <br />to the Charter. The housekeeping measure being submitted also contains minor amendments to <br />Section 26. In the event both the housekeeping measure and this measure are approved, this measure <br />shall control. <br /> <br />D. It would be in the public interest to submit to the legal electors of the City a measure <br />amending Section 26 of the Eugene Charter of 1976, as described in Exhibit A attached hereto. <br /> <br />NOW, THEREFORE, based upon the above findings, <br /> <br />BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EUGENE, a <br />Municipal Corporation of the State of Oregon, as follows: <br /> <br />Section 1.
