VOTE ON MAIN MOTION AS AMENDED: PASSED 6:1, Councilor Poling opposed. (Councilor Evans was absent for the vote.) 2. WORK SESSION: Report from Ad Hoc Committee Outcomes City Manager's Office Division Manager Mia Cariaga, Policy Systems Analyst Jason Dedrick, and City Attorney Glenn Klein, gave an overview of the Ad Hoc Committee work, primary outcomes that could be accomplished by an ordinance, and an overview of the legal framework. Council discussion: • In favor of a robust justice system, but want to protect non -criminal immigrants. • Government should concern itself with actions not beliefs; collection of data on beliefs is wrong. • Current immigration system is biased and myths about immigrants are false. • Immigrants deserve to be treated with respect; movement against immigrants based in racism. • An ordinance would still remain in place if the state law was repealed. • Appreciate the committee and the hard work done to craft language for an ordinance. • Ordinance is a due process that provides protections and defends all people. • More information on unintended outcomes would be helpful. • Proposal reaffirms our long standing local and state laws and codifies it to protect people. • Support strategy to not reference "Sanctuary City" in the ordinance. • Concerns about operational aspects of providing additional protections are relevant. • Cities should not do the job of the federal government. • Focus on what the legislation does, not what it is called; provide protections effectively. • Information on which of the direct program funds are mandated requested. MOTION AND VOTE: Councilor Zelenka, seconded by Councilor Clark, moved to direct the city manager to bring back to Council a proposed ordinance that (a) adopts the provisions of ORS 181A.820 and 181A.250 related to law enfacement personnel, (b) expands the applicability of ORS 181A.820 to cover all other city employees, and (c) prohibits all other city employees from collecting or maintaining information about the political, religious or social views of individuals. PASSED 8:0 The meeting adjourned at 1:17 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Chuck Crockett Deputy City Recorder MINUTES — Eugene City Council January 18, 2017 Page 2 Work Session
