<br />
<br />b. Liquor Control Commission - Mayor Anderson reported on his meetin~,with the Liquor Control
<br />Commission. He previously distributed to the Council copies of a statement by the Commission
<br />which was presented to him when he came before them. He said it was unfortunate that the
<br />conversation at the meeting did not take a very constructive note,-and they never really
<br />got down to discussing this particular statement. He pointed out that some of the things
<br />the Council had s ~gested were included in the statement, but they did not at the meeting,
<br />indicate any inclination to develop guidelines. The Mayor recommended that the Council wait
<br />for further developments.
<br />
<br />I
<br />
<br />Mr. McDonald moved seconded by Mr. Teague to receive and file Item lb of the Committee report.
<br />Motion carried.
<br />
<br />c. Peti~ion, Skinner Butte Cross - Mayor Anderson commented that the Council, by not taking
<br />action at the last Council meeting, had felt the petition to designate the cross a war
<br />memorial would appear on the ballot at the "next election". A question arose as to
<br />what would constitute the "next election."
<br />
<br />-
<br />
<br />The City Attorney said he would address himself to this question at a later date, since
<br />he had corresponded with the SeGretary of State and Attorney General requesting inter-
<br />pretation of the statute pertainigg to placement of a charter amendment on the ballot.
<br />The Council could set a special election if it placed the measure on the ballot, but
<br />since it "did not, there is a question of interpretation of the statute.
<br />
<br />The City Attorney distributed a memo to the Council regarding date of election for initiative
<br />measures presented to the City Council for action prior to February 26, 1970. After reviewing
<br />appropriate sections of State law." City Charter and Code, the Attorney found initiative measure
<br />may be placed on the election ballot of the first election more than 90 days after presented to the
<br />Council. Since Eugene does not automatically have a primary election, it will be necessary for the
<br />Council to enact an ordinance establishing a special election. Otherwise, any initiative measures
<br />will not be on the ballot until the November election.
<br />
<br />Dr. Purdy moved seconded by Mr. McDona~d that the City Council declare May 26, 1970 the date of a
<br />special City election.
<br />
<br />I
<br />
<br />Mr. Oral Robbins, Commander, Eugene Post #3, American Legion, said they had passed petitions for
<br />signatures, and had told signers the election would be in May. He requested the City Council to
<br />pass this motion, so that an election could be held at that time.
