<br />Mr. Johnson pointed out that Mrs. Theo Allen, member of the Commissionl had been
<br />successful in getting a response from the State Department of Employment to her
<br />suggesbion to create a position for a nrrnority relations specialist, She will meet
<br />shortly with the Director in an attempt to finalize establishment of this position in
<br />Eugene.

<br />Mr. Larry Carter, member of the Human Rights' Corrunission, said blacks participate only
<br />minimally in the corrununity, and few attempts have been made to encourage them to
<br />participate. He explained the recommendation regarding police relations and that,
<br />through better corrununication, they would be more trusted by blacks. He explained that
<br />the recommendation for employment of a minority relatiqns specialist by the City was
<br />made because the present position of community relations was created for investigation
<br />and it mi ght find itself in confli ct wi th seeking employment for blacks. If it was found
<br />impossible to employ two persons~ they were asking that the corrununity relations position
<br />be retired. They felt the person employed should have the ability to relate to members
<br />of minority groups. Nominations should be made from the local bJack community, and
<br />should be screened by the Human Rights COnmllssion and the City Manager's staff, , \

<br />Mayor Anderson :thanked members of the Human Rights Commission, past and present, who
<br />participated in the survey. He said this survey was an evaluation of the City's efforts
<br />so far, and that the City should not be satisfied with its progress. The survey itself
<br />was remarkable in its objectivity, and those who worked out the mechanics should be
<br />corrunended. It was comprehensive in scopel but went right to the heart of the problems.
<br />It provided some very constructive approaches and set a number of suggested procedures.
<br />The Mayor recommended appointment of a commi ttee of three Councilmen, members' of the
<br />Human Rights Commission and a staff member to thoroughly analyze and review the survey,
<br />and give recommendations for implementation of the results in a formal presentation to
<br />the Council. He stressed that it was not his intention to delay this actionl and the
<br />commi ttee should be directed to proceed immediately in acting upon. the survey's recom-
<br />mendations. He suggested a public hearing, at which time the recorrunendations could be
<br />presented in detail.
<br />
<br />Mr. Williams moved seconded by Mr. Teague that the Council endorse the Mayor's suggestion
<br />to appoint a commi ttee of three members of the Council, members of the Human Rights
<br />Commission and a staff representative to, review the Black Survey Report in detail and make
<br />specific recommendations which would be practical and feasible. Motion carried.

<br />Liquor License RequEists, approved by Police Department
<br />1, Together Cafe - RB - 230 Polk (new)
<br />There had been some question whether this license request had been in the proper
<br />classification, and what had prompted this request, since it had been Councilwoman
<br />.Campbell's understanding that this was a teen-age club. It was found that when
<br />it started it featured rock music, but has now changed to live jazz-type music,
<br />which attracts an older clientele. The management would like to serve liquor wi th
<br />its meals.

<br />Mrs, Campbell said she had no objection, but was disappointed that one more place

<br />The Council had no objection to release of the license.

<br />I. Deferred Assessment Request, Lilja - Mrs, Cambell had been contacted by Mr. Lilja,
<br />111 Ingalls Way, who stated that he had petitioned the City Council to defer a sewer
<br />assessment on unimproved real property which he owns. The petition was denied. Mr.
<br />Lilja has spoken to the City Attorney. He informed Mrs, Campbell he feels this is a
<br />double assessment because he has sewer line on both sides of his property.
<br />

<br />
<br />City Manager said Mr, Lilja was' in his office this morning. and the Manager and Assistant
<br />Public Works Director had met wmth him EO try to work out problems with his property.
<br />Under terms of the ordinance, assessments may be. deferred only if it would be to city
<br />benefi t. The situation with Mr, Lilja's property is no different than that of many
<br />others. Mr. Gilman and Mr. Lilja later met with the Planning Department staff to
<br />review the possibility of developing a lot with a panhandle access to allow development
<br />of the rear. portion.. Another alternative w.ould be ,for the neighborhood, which has many
<br />
<br />situations similar to Mr. Li1ja's~ to petition for another streetl but this would be
