<br /> Ii The City Manager said the single inspection program was proposed only for single family and
<br /> , two family dwellings, and was not for multiple family, commercial or industrial structures.

<br /> 'I This type construction merits good inspection but is not as complex as commercial or
<br /> I
<br /> I, industrial construction.

<br /> I,
<br /> I' Mr. Mortier explained that some phases of inspection could be better covered by a single,
<br /> I, qualified inspector. He becomes more specialized and can inspect other phases while they
<br /> i are in progress.

<br /> I' state. Mr. Mortier explained that it was based on electrical appliaRDes~.
<br /> Mr. Teague moved seconded by Mrs. Hayward that the city retain its inspection service as it
<br /> I now is.

<br /> I 2. Saturday Market Review - In April the City endorsed a Saturday Market to be held at the
<br />-I I'
<br /> 10th and Oak Overpark alley. Approval was givenb operate every Saturday until September
<br /> 14, at which time the Council would review the operation. A memorandum was previously
<br /> distributed to the Council indicating staff feeling the market is larger than originally
<br /> anticipated, and the location has caused some problems created by overcnowding. To suspend
<br /> it would result in loss of momentum, and staff would suggest another location be found
<br /> which would be more permanent. There have been many letters in favor of the market and a
<br /> petition was delivered at the meeting supporting continuation of the market.
<br /> Mr. Mohr moved seconded by Mrs. Hayward to continue the Saturday Market for another six
<br /> I month period, and that the administration be directed to devise strategy and details for
<br /> continuation and control.
<br /> Mr. Everett Smith, chairman of SCOR~ (Special Committee on Renewing Eugene) did not feel
<br /> the Mall Use Committee should be consulted on this issue. He said his committee had
<br /> I received no complaints about the market during its summer operation. He cited advantages
<br /> ,
<br /> "
<br /> I' of the market and suggested the market be left in its present location until a permanent
<br /> location could be found. He proposed that an awning be placed over the location at no
<br /> expense to the people of the city of Eugene.
<br /> Mr. Andrew Rice of the firm of Mitchell and McArthur showed slides demonstrating how
<br /> portable stands and portable covers might look and there proposed placement in the
<br /> mall.
<br />-I I' Mr. Roscoe Paine, a farmer from Junction City, said the market had proved very useful to
<br /> them in disposing of excess produce and fruit. He thought it was very unique - something
<br /> different needed by the city.
<br /> Mr. Walter Slocum, 1449 Pearl, said the market did not deal in used merchandise or rummage,
<br /> but was an outlet for arts and crafts and produce. He advocated continuation of the market.
<br /> :, Mr. Jansen Corbett, 1266 Potter, had visited the Coos Bay Mall and said they had recruited
<br />e craftsmen for such a market there.
<br /> Mr. Charles Duncan, 2154 McMilan, said society has new needs, and had to be more concerned
<br /> with individuals and their needs. The market provides a pessibility for interchange between
<br /> I'
<br /> , individuals.
<br /> Beulah Johnson, 1895 Columbia, presented a petition advocating retention of the market,
<br /> which had approximately 450 signatures.
<br /> Mr. Pete Smith, a prospector from Arizona, said he brings small p&eces of turquise to market
<br /> to be sold to craftsmen for jewelry. The market is a place for friendly people to get together.
<br /> Mr: McDonald, Council President, asked for a show of hands of those present favoring the
<br /> market. A large percentage of the audience was in favor.
<br /> Mr. Dennis Kottke said he was owner of Skotty's Restaurant. He had talked to many business-
<br />I men and they were all in favor of the nea of the market, but were unhappy with the location.
<br /> Mr. Kottke had great difficulty on Saturday with deliveries to his restaurant, and felt the
<br /> crowds were much too large for the location. The wear and tear on tqat portion of the over-
<br /> :' park had been noticab~y greater than in adjacent portions. He felt the businesses should be
<br />" governed by the same laws as other city businesses.
<br /> it ,
<br /> Mr. Thomas Hedgpeth, 1526 West 2nd, thought the idea was good, but agreed with Mr. Kottke
<br /> that the location was wrong. He felt the market should be in a building with adequate park-
<br />e ing, and that the streets and sidewalks should be kept open. He sugges,ted it could be
<br /> located in the street just vacated in the university area.
