<br /> <br /> 2. ADEQUATE BENEFIT LEVELS <br /> <br />The City supports the provision of public employee benefits that are consistent with <br />formal needs assessments and/or actuarial studies establishing standards of adequacy. <br />Benefits exceeding such standards should be provided at the discretion of individual <br />employers, and should not be mandated. <br /> <br /> 3. DEFERENCE TO VOLUNTARY NEGOTIATIONS <br /> <br />Resolution of employment disputes through voluntary agreement between the parties is <br />preferred to procedures which impose settlements by a third party. <br /> <br /> 4. INSTALLATION OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT <br /> <br />The City supports expanding the existing exemption afforded to cable television <br />companies from electrical permit and licensing requirements to include all forms of <br />communications cable (e.g., coaxial and fiber optic). These types of installations do not <br />require the knowledge, skills and abilities represented by a commercial electrician's <br />license. Cities should not be required to pay the associated fees and expenses of using <br />licensed electricians to install telephone and computer cable and equipment. These <br />requirements do not result in improved personnel or building safety. <br /> <br /> <br />D. LIQUOR LICENSING <br /> <br /> <br />To sustain safe, livable neighborhoods, local government recommendations regarding the <br />issuance of liquor licenses should have greater weight when the Oregon Liquor Control <br />Commission acts on license applications. Adverse recommendations by local governments <br />should have “presumptive” effect, meaning that a liquor license applicant would have to show <br />good cause to overcome an adverse recommendation from a city. <br /> <br />Prior to 1988, adverse local government recommendations regarding issuance of liquor licenses <br />did have a presumptive effect. The Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC) defined <br />presumptive effect as meaning that once an applicant received an adverse recommendation based <br />on OLCC approval criteria, the OLCC would not issue a license unless the applicant was able to <br />show good cause that outweighed the local recommendation. <br />City of Eugene Legislative Policies, 2007 Session <br />With IGR Mtg 10/17 and 10/26 Amendments C:\Documents and Settings\ceexelf\Local Settings\Temporary Internet <br />Files\OLK10B\LegPol2007Sesxx1.doc <br />Updated on: 11/6/2006 By: Last saved by ceexmfw <br /> 68 <br /> <br />
