<br />
<br />.
<br />D. W. Adams, Ken Simpson, and R. E. Clarke of Standard Oil Company of California
<br />were present. Mr. Adams explained that the station being abandoned was similar
<br />,to many in the western states discontinued because they did not have the ability
<br />to serve present-day motorists. He said the substandard.faci1ity and low-income
<br />performance did not contribute" to the community, the company, nor the dealer himself. I
<br />Of many similar stations closed in the Eugene/Springfield area this was the first
<br />ltO receive community reaction, and Mr. Adams attributed it to the type of ser~ice
<br />provided by Mr. Paulus. The station offered Mr. Paulus at 13th and Lincoln,'h~'
<br />said, was one which had been "mothballed," a good building, with a long lease. .
<br />In answer to Mrs.Campbe11, he explained the. policy concerning abandoned stations
<br />was to remove the building and tanks and level the land to a clean condition. He
<br />said this particular site (13th and iIigh) was company-owned land and would be sold.
<br />In answer to Councilman Keller, Mr. Adams said that if Mr. Paulus decides not to
<br />accept the 13th and Lincoln site, the gas allocated to his station would ~e_dis-
<br />tributed to other stations in the community. And in answer to Rick Grimshaw of
<br />iKPNW, Mr. Adams said preparation of the station at .13th and Lincoln would be
<br />!started immediately upon Mr. Paulus' deciding to accept it so that it would be
<br />(ready for occupancy by May 31.

<br />u.iGarbage Board Recommendation re: Biweekly Pickups - In response to previous Council
<br />inquiry, the Garbage Board recommended against addin.g a biweekly rate to the present
<br />:schedu1e of rates for garbage collection because_.(l) State regulations require re-
<br />'mova1 of "putrescib1e" material once a week; (2) thc~ garbage haulers bel,ieve that
<br />many customers would try to compact garbage, making cans too heavy and difficult
<br />i to empty, to take advantage of the lower rate; and (3) the garbage haulers now
<br />make special arrangements for customers where conditions warrant the biweekly service.,
<br />, : Comm
<br />! Counci1wo.man Campbell ref~rred to the recent rate increase and said many people 3/U.3/74
<br />were disturbed because it was made retroactive to January and the higher rates for I File.
<br />all three months were included in one statement. She~oped that in future instances
<br />more information could be given customers to avoid misunderstanding.
