<br /> 23 COMMUNICATION fROM ORE~ON LIQUOR CONTROL COMMISSION - RE: BOUNDARY AROU~ THE UNIVERSITY Of
<br /> OREGON WAS SUBMITTED AND READ AS fOLLOWS:
<br /> "SO MUCH ATTENTION HAS BEEN GIVEN RECENTLY TO THE MATTER Of THE SO-CALLED BOUNDARY AT
<br /> EUGENE THAT IT SEEMS PROPER fOR THE OREGON LIQUOR CONTROL COMMISSION TO CLARifY ITS POSI-
<br /> I TION AS THE STATE AGENCY WHICH HAS EXCLUSIVE AUTHORITY TO GRANT OR DENY LICENSES TO SELL
<br /> ALCOHOLIC ~EVERAGES. As A RESULT Of YOUR VISIT TO OUR OffiCES AT THE LAST COMMISSION
<br /> MEETING, I AM SURE THE CITY COUNCIL Of EUGENE REALIZES THAT THERE WAS NO INITIATIVE TAKEN
<br /> BY THE:COMMISSION: TO RELAX BOUNDARY LINES AND THAT THE COMMISSION WILL CONTINUE TO HONOR
<br /> THE COUNCIL'S RECOMMENDATIONS, JUST AS IS DONE WITH ALL OTHER LOCAL AUTHORITIES. HOWEVER,
<br /> elTY OffiCIALS MAY BE INTERESTED IN THE ,BACKGROUND Of THE POLICY THAT GOVERNS OUR LICENSING
<br /> ACTIVITIES THROUG~OUT THE,STATE~
<br /> -
<br /> e FIRST, IT IS. THE POLI,CY Of THE COMMISSION TO REQUIRE THAT ALL APPLICANTS fOR LICENSE
<br /> PRIVILEGES fiRST ~ECURE THE ENDORSEMENT Of THE LOCAL GOVERNING BODY, WHICH IS EITHER THE
<br /> COUNTY COURT If THE PREMISES IS lOCATED OUTSIDE CITY LIMITS, OR THE CITY COUNCIL. THIS IS
<br /> ALLOWED BY THE LAW (ORS 471.210 AND 472.f.20)'WHICH GIVES THE COMMISSION THE RIGHT TO REQUIRE
<br /> THIS ENDORSEMENT. THIS PO~ICY PREVAILED NOT ONLY AT THE TIME THE EUGENE BOUNDARY ,WAS;
<br /> ESTABLISHED IN 1951, BUT PRIOR TO AND SUBSEQUENT TO THAT TIME. FOR MANY YEARS, COMMISSIONERS
<br /> HAVE fELT THAT THE LOCAL GOVERNING BODY Of A COMMUNITY WAS THE BEST POSSIBLE SOURCE fOR
<br /> DETERMINING THE NEEDS Of THE COMMUNITY AND EXPRESSING THE SENTIMENT Of THE PEOPLE Of THE
<br /> COMMUNITY. I'
<br /> THE LICENSING PROBLEMS AT EUGENE ARE NOT UNIQUE. IT IS TRUE THAT THE COMMISSION WAS
<br /> INSTRUMENTAL IN ESTABLISHING LINES ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY Of OREGON CAMPUS; INSIDE Of WHICH
<br /> NO LICENSES ARE ISSUED TO SELL OR SERVE BEVERAGE ALCOHOL; HOWEVER, THE COMMISSION TOOK AN
<br /> I
<br /> i ACTIVE PART IN COOPERATION WITH EUGENE CITY OffiCIALS AND'OfflCIALS Of THE UNIVERSITY
<br /> ,BECAUSE ONE Of THE COMMI SSI ONERS WAS A RESIDEN,T Of EUGENE ANDfAMI LI AR\ WITH THE DETAI'LS
<br /> Of lHE SITUATION~ THIS BOUNDARY WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1951.
<br /> I IN APR I L I, 1954, THE COMMISSION, WHICH BY THAT TIME WAS COMPRISED Of THREE DiffERENT
<br /> I NDI,V I DUAL:S,.CONSI DERED THE EUGENE BOUNDARY, AND LESTER IRELAND, WHO THEN WAS CHAIRMAN,
<br /> STATED THAT "ANY CHANGES IN 'THE CURRENT BOUNDARY AROUND 'THE U Of 0 CAMPUS IN WHICH BEER
<br /> AND LIQUOR SALES AR~ BANNED WILL HAVE TO COME fROM RECOMMENDATIONS BY THE EUGENE CITY
<br /> . '.
