~'. . e . of a Board or Commission without Council approval because it would appear to be the City's position. She said the purpose of the Council is to express that it is in favor or against a concept when discussing State legislation but this motion if adopted would seem'to be en- dorsing the opinion of Mr. Pearson which is to kill S.B.IOO. She doesn't think the Council is prepared to say that and doesn't think Eugene wants to be put on record as against the concept of land use planning. The Council, she continued, does not have to express it is in favor of this legislation, it can only say it does not oppose the idea. .. Councilman Hershner said that it was not Mr. Pe.arson's nor the Commission's intent that this legislation be killed. Mrs. Beal answered that Mr. Pearson told he he wanted to kill this bill, that he had no substitute, nor any amendments. So that is what would be authorized if he is permitted to represent the City on this issue. Councilman Williams stated that was not the motion. He explained that he made the sp~c statement that Mr. Pearson was to present fiis objections to S.B.IOO and that he be requested not to present opposition but rather that defects of the bill be presented. He. repeated the motion. Mr. Hershner felt it unfortunate that the motion would be construed to imply that the City is opposed to land use planning since it is not. Councilwoman Campbell said she could not see how the City could be placed in direct opposi- tion to the position taken by the Lane County Commissioners without some discussion with them. She expressed regret that the Council was not provided with the League's position prior to this time. Councilman McDonald called attention to Mr. Pearson's testimony at the committee meeting with regard to lack of planning assistance in drafting the legislat~on and other flaws. i Question was called for and vote taken on the original motion as stated. Motion failed, Councilmen Williams, McDonald, Hershner, and Keller voting aye; Councilmen Beal, Campbell, Murray, and Wood voting no. No action was taken on the committee report.
