Mr. Allen Hanger, 380 Bush, suggested that the Council add to its resolution a section urging the e , United States to comply with the 8 heva Conference and conditions formally declaring war, and urging immediate withdrawal of troups. Councilman Mohr pointed out that the Council was preparing a specific resolution dealing with a specific point, and that the Council did not support generalized resolutions. e. Motor Vehicle Visible Emissions Ordinance - Copies of the proposed ordinance were dis- I tributed to Council members previously. The administration felt the Council should be aware that enforcement of this ordinance would be difficult, and that the success of the program is probably more dependent on publicity and voluntary compliance, than on police action. Councilwoman Beal commented that it would not be necessary for police to use the com- parison chart in connection with emission from passenger cars, but that this applied onlY,to diesel trucks. Councilwoman Hayward was, concerned that assistance should be given to those on low incomes, who would be the most apt to be in violation, since they could not afford more modern vehicles. Mrs. B al assured her this had been considered, but that safety was in important factor too. It was hoped an educational program could be worked out. Mayor Anderson pointed out that these and other factors could be considered at the public hearing. He suggested it be set for November 30, which would give the staff an oppor- tunity to prepare material. Mrs. Hayward moved seconded by Mr. Mohr to set a public hearing for consideration of the Vehicle Emissions Ordinance. Motion carried. ( approve). it " f. Deferred Sewer Assessments - On March 7, 1968 the City Council authorized a two-year deferment of sanitary sewer assessment to Terry J. Mathews, R. D. McKendrick and Eva I C. Celorie. This was to give the city an opportunity to determine if the public could benefit by acquisition of these lands. The parties concerned do not wish to dedicate the land to the city of' Eugene, and since the original deferment was on a "no-benefit" basis, thecondi tions have not changed. It is the staff recommendation that the defer- ment be continued so that any possible future claim will not be invalidated. Mr. Gribskov moved seconded by Mrs. Hayward to approve continuation of a deferred assessment on properties owned by Terry J. Matthews, R. D. McKendrick and Eva C. Celorie. (approve) e g. Eugene Renewal Agency Appointment - Eugene Renewal Agency has reuqested the Council to fill a vacancy created by the resignation of Charles Duncan.
