<br />: 1:Manager explained that, under the pres'ent ordinance, the City may issue checks up to $5,000 from a
<br />treasurer' s revolving fund, whicb. is' replenished each month,- and' the' Council verifies the payments
<br />at the monthly meeting. $5,000 is occasionally-not '. sifficient, so staff proposes it be increased
<br />to $10,000. In reviewing the process;, it appeared the City could do away with the treasurer's
<br />revolving fund, as such, and eliminate double bookkeeping-and an additional bank account, if the Council
<br />would authorize the Director of Finance to write' checks up to $10,000, not exceeding $1,000 for each
<br />check, which would be approve.d with regular bills' at regular meetings ~ The proposed ordinance has
<br />been written in this: manner.' '
<br />
<br />COUNCIL BILL NO. S357 - Prohibiting 'bicycleri9:ing in the Eugene Mall, providing for
<br />penalties, and declaring an emergency was read, the <first_time by' co1.irjc~l1).ij.tr number only ~ . since
<br />'\ . -~ .' ,. .
<br />no Councilman present requested that it be read in full.
<br />
<br />The ordinance provides that the violator may post bailor surrender his bicycle until the matter has
<br />been disposed of. This provision was written at the request of the Police Department.
<br />
<br />e
<br />
<br />The City Attorney pointed out that, in most instances, the, violators would be juveniles, and this
<br />provision would give added leverage.
<br />
<br />Manager pointed out that, in most cases, the violator would just be instructed to dismount and walk,
<br />but that this severe action might be useful in aggravated cases.
<br />
<br />I
<br />
<br />Councilman Mohr was quite concerned with the severe and extraordinary penalty. He _felt issuance of
<br />a citation would be more in line with the crime. Council policy has been to promote citations in
<br />lieu of arrest. It ,would seem in this case warnings could be given, for the most part.
<br />
<br />Manager agreed that a citation would probably be adequate, and if this did not work out, the ordinance
<br />could be amended at a later time.
<br />
<br />Mayor Anderson suggested that, for the time being, the impoundment section of the ordinance be deleted.
<br />
<br />Mr. Mohr asked to have the ordinance amended to drop the penalty clause and substitute issuance of
<br />citation. The City Attorney suggested the section be deleted which provided for taking possession.
<br />He felt Mr. Mohr's suggestion regarding issuance of citations was well taken.
<br />
<br />. Mr. Mohr moved seconded by Mr. Teague to amend the ordinance to eliminate apy reference to impounding
<br />of bicycles.
<br />
<br />Mrs. Campbell was concerned about the area where riders would have to dismount. The Attorney said
<br />the Parks Department has ordered bicycle racks which will be placed strategically for those .who do
<br />not wish to walk their bikes in the mall.
<br />
<br />"
<br />;. Mr. Mohr suggested that the bicycle committee consider the possibility that parking could be provided
<br />for bicycles in parking lots with tokens given to cover parking charges, just as they are for aU~0s.
<br />
<br />Mr. McDonald was still not altogether satisfied, and felt bicycl,e routes shouldbbe provided. He hoped
<br />the bicycle committee would consider this in their study.
<br />
<br />I
<br />
<br />Leslie Childers was in favor of the parking suggestion made by Mr. Mohr. She asked whether a bicycle
<br />ridden through an alley had to be dismounted in the mall. It was explained that, under the proposed
<br />ordinance, this would be so. Bicycles could be ridden in unimpp~ved alleys.
<br />
<br />Mr. Joe Harvard, 2068 Charnelton, asked about those who are handicapped riding in the mall.
<br />Anderson explained that the ordinance prohibited only bicycles at the present time, and that
<br />who are handicapped generally ride other than two-wheeled vehicles.
