<br />Mr. Elter, of the League of Oregon Cities stated that the City Council could
<br />pass an ordinance setting up a form of amendment and thus shorted the time- requir d
<br />for being on the May primaries. Councilman Farrington stated that at first he
<br />was favorable to the idea of the Council making the appointments rather than the
<br />Mayo:r- but he thought that was rahter immaterial and that he was willing to go
<br />along as presented by the Committee.

<br />
<br />Herman Kherli, of the League of Oregon Cities made a plea for appointment
<br />to be made by the Council stated that it was not considered good practise by
<br />most authorities for appointment to be made by the Mayor and confirmed by the
<br />Council in the City ]~ager form of Government.
<br />
<br />At this time a vO,te on the proposed amendment by Councilman Crumbaker was
<br />called for, the voice vote being rather indefinite, Councilman Crumbaker asked
<br />for a roll call which was as follows: Those voting AYE, Koppe, Barette, Stewart,
<br />and Crumbaker; Those Voting NO, Farrington, Hawn and Davis and the amendment
<br />to the original amendmentwas declared carried.
<br />
<br />The question of whether the proposed one mill levy in Section 14 should be
<br />ooonitted from the proposed City Manager amendment and included as a seperate
<br />amendment was discussed, BothsCouncilman Farrington and Koppe stated they felt
<br />that this one lhiliblevy should be left in as originally proposed. A motion was
<br />made by Hawn and seconded by Crumbaker that in section 10 the word PUBLIC should
<br />be placed. between the words EUGENE and LIBF~"RY making the name Eugene Public
<br />Library. On vote this motion was carried.
<br />
<br />Attorney Calkins stated that since the amendment by Crumbaker had carried
<br />that the act as now stated ih the resolution would have to be changed to confirm
<br />with the amendment, and while there was no vote taken on this there was no
<br />objections from the Council.
<br />

<br />
<br />A note on the original question presented by Farrington and Hawn and as
