II ii Bonnett explained that the.intent of this, section of his motion was that consider- , Mr. , " ation be given to alternatives and not be limited to ones which could tie in wi th the 1st " " to 4th connector. I i! Motion carried. ;1 Vote taken on motion. Regarding Item 3, Mrs. Niven said that the Planning Conmrission had felt the committee would work to assure that the kinds of things to be considered would be submi tted to the staff of the State Highway Conmrission doing the impact study. Mrs. Campbell moved seconded by Mr. Mohr that the City Council implement Items Q and :' 3 of the Planning Conmrission report. In answer to Mr. Williams, Mrs. Niven said it was not the intent that hearings on the E-SATS report deal wi th specific routes that appear on the map. She said that hearings e should be held on parts of E~SATS which have been described, but not in a public hearing type situation. Recommendations will be made to include certain safeguards to put people's minds at rest about the nature of their conmritment. That is as far as they could go - they could not approve all roads. Mrs. Niven said that, rather than include an E-SATS procedural discussion as part of the ., adoption hearings on the 1990 Plan, this will be moved ahead of the general hearings. , I , " " " ,I City Manager suggested that, before the Council meeting of December 13, staff attempt to re-state the intent of the subparagraph.

He said the program would prepare offenders for return to society and assumption of roles as law-abiding citizens, and explained that supervisory control would be maintained to insure that the general safety of the public was not endangered. I , Chief of Police Dale Allen said,that, based upon the program and its present success, " " his department endorsed the program. Mr. Martin added that, as the program is developed, , ;1 it will be available on a limited basis for city use. " " In answer to Mrs. Beal, Mr. Godby said that they trred to keep the facilities as small as I, possible and they hoped they would have more than one location in Eugene. They hope that eventually some women can be included in the program. Mary Briscoe, President of the League of Women Voters, said they had assisted with e canvassing the neighborhood where the facili ty would be located and that, wi th one exception, there had been wholehearted acceptance of its location in that area.
