City Manager Taylor said that on March 3 at 8 a.m. at the Board of County Commissioners Conference <br />Room, the chief executive officers of the cities of Springfield and Eugene, Lane County, Lane Community <br />College, University of Oregon, the two Eugene school districts, Eugene Water & Electric Board, and Lane <br />Transit District would meet to recommit to and re-sign the memorandum of agreement that guides those <br />organizations' diversity efforts. The organizations would use the occasion to talk about where the <br />community has been with regard to diversity as well as where it is going. <br /> <br />City Manager Taylor took official note of the agreement between EWEB and Triad. He said that much <br />work remained to be done. <br /> <br />City Manager Taylor recalled the council's discussion on a possible moratorium on the construction of <br />outdoor smoking facilities pending completion of its most recent review of the ordinance. City Attorney <br />Jerome Lidz had prepared an ordinance that allowed the City to prohibit smoking in all outdoor smoking <br />areas for which authorized construction did not begin before March 1, 2005. He asked the council to <br />adopt that recommendation by motion so staff could present such an ordinance on April 11. He said the <br />City could not achieve that goal through an administrative rule. <br /> <br /> Ms. Solomon, seconded by Ms. Bettman, moved to direct the City Man- <br /> ager to bring back an ordinance that would prohibit smoking in all out- <br /> door smoking areas for which authorized construction did not begin be- <br /> fore March 1, 2005. <br /> <br />Ms. Solomon asked what would happen if someone had a building permit but had not commenced <br />construction by March 1, or if a permit was being processed but had not been approved. Mr. Lidz said <br />neither situation would be protected under the contemplated ordinance. He said the council could choose <br />to ban smoking virtually anywhere in the city regardless of whether someone had built a smoking area. <br />He understood the purpose of the motion was to put people on notice that if they had not built such a <br />facility yet, they might want to reconsider it because the council intended to prohibit smoking in such <br />areas or planned to do so in the future. It was a "heads up" to the public so that they do not construct such <br />an area, only to find later it is not allowed. <br /> <br />Ms. Solomon said she was not opposed to the idea but preferred to allow those having made such an <br />application make that decision on their own. <br /> <br />Mr. Kelly asked if there were any such applications in the system. Keli Osbom, Planning and Develop- <br />ment Department, was not aware of any such applications. <br /> <br />Mr. Kelly pointed oUt that rather than prohibit such areas, there were other options under consideration. <br />He supported the motion because it merely directed staff to return with such an ordinance. <br /> <br />Mr. Pap6 concurred with the remarks of Mr. Kelly, reminding all councilors of the council's goal of <br />protecting workers from secondhand smoke. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman expressed appreciation for the motion and the approach. <br /> <br />Mr. Poling said he would support the motion because it put people on notice that the council was going to <br /> <br />MINUTES--Eugene City Council February 28, 2005 Page 3 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br /> <br />
