<br /> meeting was called to order by Mayor Large.
<br /> j'
<br /> Ii Dr. Gunn, Superintendant of Schools, addressed the Council in regard
<br /> II to paying rental on room 8 for the months of July and August. The lease that
<br /> ~; the Council passed on at the meeting of August 14th provided rental should be
<br /> I paid from July 1st. Dr. Gunn stated that he felt in as much as they had not
<br /> occupied the room as yet they should not have to pay the rental for July and
<br /> i
<br /> 1 !i August. Dr. Gunn also stated' that instead of a yearly lliease they would like
<br /> to have a 2 years lease for the offices~ It was pointed out that the room had
<br /> been occupied by the Playgrounds and that the City was not receiving rental
<br /> t for the room, and that the request by the School Boa~d for renting the room
<br /> i was not made before the middle of July. A motion was made by Farrington and
<br /> ,
<br /> I: seconded by Crumbaker that the rental of room 8 at $35.00 should start as of
<br /> I; August 15th and the rental of the balance of the offices occupied by the
<br /> Ii School Board at $50.00 be from July 1st, that a new lease be drawn for the 2
<br /> ti year period ending June 30, 1946.
<br /> I,
<br /> I, F. H. Stickley addressed the Council regarding the Council's action on
<br /> , August 14th and August 17th regarding the lease for the Cantonment site of the
<br /> "
<br /> , Airport. He referred to the lease tendered him by the letter of August 15th
<br /> n
<br /> [ and stated that he felt this made a bonding contract with the City and that the
<br /> Council should not have recined thier action on August 17th. Councilmen Farr-
<br /> 'ington, Crumbaker and Barette agreed,that the Council should not have recinded
<br /> r thier action of August 14th without consulting Mr. Stickley. Couhcilman Hawn
<br /> I'
<br /> I.~ stated that he felt that the rental of $300.00 that Mr. Stickley had offered
<br /> 21: was not sufficient and that some adjustment should be made in the price of the
<br /> I: rental. Attorney Calkins ruled that since the Council passed on the lease
<br /> I and that it had been mailed to Mr. Stickley by the Recorder and that as Mr.
<br /> I', Stickley signed the lease 'and put in the mails that they had made a contract.
<br /> I: A motion was made by Farrington and seconded by Barette that the original
<br /> ...
<br /> I L action of the Council on August 14th leasing the property to Mr. Stickley be
<br /> l'
<br /> I: reinstated. On vote this motion was carried. At this time Mr. Stickley add-
<br /> ressed the Council and stated that he was fully aware of the recapture clause
<br /> I in the original lease when he signed it and now that the Council had reinstat-
<br /> I ed, the lease her would make the following proposition,;. tha t since he wished to
<br /> I: put in a crop, that the Council drew a new lease protecting him for a year and
<br /> I for such lease he would pay the City a rental of $600.00, but that he wished
<br /> "
<br /> ..,
<br /> I the Council to take action at this time and that he would tender a check at
<br /> once. There was considerable discussion regarding the way in which the new
<br /> i lease should be drawn and Mayor Large explained to the Council that what Mr.
<br /> Ii
<br /> I ~ Stickley was asking for was a new lease on the property for a year regardless
<br /> 1'1 of what the City might want to do with the property in the meantime. Council-
<br /> I:
<br /> , man Hawn and Crumbaker objected to the Council passing a new' lease before it
<br /> !' ' ,
<br /> " had been drawn and read in Open Council meeting and insisted on the matter of
<br /> I" a new lease be held over until the next Council meeting. Attorney Calkins
<br /> "
<br /> H stated that if the drawing of a new lease was left to him he would draw the
<br /> \'1
<br /> " lease for,a year and insert a clause the t if the City wished to make any other
<br /> I:
<br /> I' arrangement regarding the property that Mr. Stickley would be reimbursed for
<br /> Ii
<br /> ~~ the labor and costs of planting the crop but that he felt Mr. Stickley should
<br /> r' not be reimbursed for the ,price of the crop an~ Mr~tStickley stated that that
<br /> i arrangement would be satisfactory to him. A motion was made by Farrington
<br /> !' and seconded by Stewart that Mr. Stickley's offer of $600.00 for a year rental
<br /> I'
<br /> II ~
<br /> [i be accepted and that the City Attorney should draw a lease as indicated above
<br /> I' for the year and bring it in at the next Council meeting. On vote the motion
<br /> II was ,carried.
<br /> !!
<br /> i: At this time Councilman Hawn stated that the matter of entertainment
<br /> ti
<br /> I! for the MeKican workers in Lane County had been called to his attention. That
<br /> I,: they were housed in camps around Eugene and had no place where they could con- ,
<br /> ;1
<br /> Ii gregate for entertainment and no libraries where they could read. He stated
<br /> I' that the libraries were of no value to them and that they needed Mexican liter-
<br /> I' ature; that it was his understanding that there were some 4,000 mn the camps
<br /> 3 I~
<br /> in Lane County. Counci~an Hawn stated that there was nothing the Council
<br /> I II could do about it at this time as there was no money available for use for
<br /> ,I this work but that if the matter was referred to some committee with the
<br /> J;
<br /> Ii Council backing something might be worked out. Councilman Hawn stated that
<br /> Ii
<br /> 1'1 Dr. Paul VanDevelt was present and asked him to address the Council. Dr. Paul
<br /> lit
<br /> I,. VanDevelt stated he had lived 20 years in Nexico and that he felt there should
<br /> I,; be some arrangement made whereby Me~icans' could have some entertainment and
<br /> II that if such a place was provided he could get the necessary literature. The
<br /> matter was referred to the Police Committee to see what could be worked out.
