<br />Councilman Tep.gue remarked about traffic problems on various major arterials in
<br />the City and thought a staff report on progress in those areas might help the Council
<br />, in its present consideration. Mr. McDonald mentioned the area south of 11th from
<br />Jefferson to Chambers and asked whether that area is still included in studies.
<br />e., Planning Director said the staff is now working on an analysis of the entire City
<br />:based on 1970 census figures which included the areas mentioned. At the suggestion
<br />of the Manager it was agreed that a report would be brought to the Council which i
<br />,was previously presented to the Planning COnmUssion showing the work involved at
<br />}the staff level in the total planning activity. Comm
<br />11/1/72
<br />Vote was taken on the motion as stated. Motion carried unanimously. Approve

<br />B.Lettering, Skinner's Butte Cross - Copies of correspondence were previously distrib- i
<br />.uted to Council members indicating American Legion, Eugene Post No.3, is proposing I
<br />to attach 5-inch high bronze letters to the crossarm on the Cross on Skinner's
<br />. 'Butte reading: "BRAVELY THEY DIED * HONORED THEY REST." It was felt appropriate
<br />:that the Council, as representatives of th~ City which owns the Park and the Cross,
<br />~respond to the proposal, which appears to be in accordance with the Charter amend-
<br />~ment making the Cross a war memorial (worcding of Charter amendment also was dis-
<br />I
<br />:tributed previously to Council members). _

<br />;Dudley Walton, judge advocate of Oregon American Legion, further described the
<br />:lettering and said the attachment would be made to the north face of the Cross.

<br />C.Central Business District Carbon Monoxide Emergency Alert Plan - Copies of the
<br />'Alert Plan as approved by the Lane Regional Air Rollution Authority were previously
<br />~di~tributed to Council members . The Plan has been - revised since previous discus- i
<br />. sion by the Council and is presented now for consideration for adoption with the
<br />, understanding that it is a requirement of the Department of Environmental Quality.
<br />, ,
<br />
<br />In answer to Councilman Hershner, Manager said adoption of the Plan would probably
<br />:require an ordinance to implement it. An ordinance has not yet been prepared, [
<br />;since it would give emergency power to police and Mayor and would authorize con-
<br />;trol of people in certain areas, stopping of vehicular traffic, etc.
<br />
<br />Councilman Williams expressed his concern about shifting of traffic to 11th and
<br />13th by restrictions on 6th and 7th, thereby increasing carbon monoxide pollution
<br />measurement at the 11th and Willamette moni toring station. He fe1 t that heavy ,
<br />crosstown traffic would not decrease by restricting traffic into the core area.
<br />David Baker of the Regional Air Pollution Authority staff said an increase in
<br />,pollution for a short period of time probably would occur, but with the central
<br />area sealed off there would be no reason to go into the area and after a period :
<br />of time there would be a sharp decrease in pollution. Public Works Director said
<br />..-",- .there is no way of knowing the concentration points throughout the City until there
<br />. are more monitoring stations and more testing, but the Plan would give guidelines
<br />in_~h~ l?venj; of _~uc!1:~n . e..~rfJ~ncy. ~ . _ _ _ _ __ _ _ __~__

<br />,Discussion followed with regard to selection of the 11t1'-- and Willamette site for
<br />,location of the monitoring station, areas of air pollution concentration, and
<br />traffic patterns. Manager suggested that this Plan could be considered the minimum
<br />'and an adopting ordinance cou~d be written sufficiently flexible to allow broadening
<br />of the area covered if actual experience indicates that is necessary to cope wi th
<br />an emergency. Discussion continued on ,location of the monitoring equipment, dif-
<br />'ferent factors involved in an air pollution alert, DEQ and legal requirements for
<br />an alert plan, incl usion of other than carbon monoxide and particulant parts per
<br />. million considered in measuring an alert stage, etc.
<br />I
<br />ICouncilman Teague, member of the Lane Regional Authority, said the Authority's Comm
<br />counsel, Joe Richards, had recommended approval of the Plan. Councilman Williams 1;1/1/72
<br />said it would appear that any emergency would be an areawide problem and not just Approve
<br />;in the downtown core area. He moved seconded by Mr. McDonald that the Plan be re-';
<br />,ferred back to staff for clarification of points raised. Motion carried unanimously ~'.I_'-
