<br />, To have a strong downtown,' it 1.S necessary to provide for both' autoandmass-transIf.
<br />; Automobile accommodation for business-type people must be provided in order to have
<br />: tenants for redeveloped space. DEQ staff people expressed conviction that Eugene's
<br />I effort to review the environmental impact of the total parking program rather than on
<br />I a piece-by-piece basis would give a better opportunity to assess impact. They also
<br />, feel Eugene has the advantage of having control of the majority of the downtown parking,
<br />permitting the planning of an overall program and adjusting it as other modes of
<br />transportation increase or decrease.
<br />
<br />.
<br />
<br />'Council reaction is desired on the proposal to assign long-term parking spaces where
<br />the need arises, taking the position that the city has a stake in providing these
<br />spaces, and therefore should parcel them out at least on a short-term basis until
<br />'further parking facilities are available to meet the need~--
<br />'--..........-... ....~
<br />
<br />IMr. Murray qu~stioned the development of more employee parking - would it be designated
<br />(as that, would there be a charge, etc. He was advised that these kinds of questions
<br />!are being addressed at present.
<br />
<br />In answer to Mr. Keller, ERA director said the south of BtE structure ideally would '
<br />'combine the transit structure and some parking also. ~Tne need, plus how the building
<br />,/
<br />iwould look and fit into the overaJ.J picture, all will be taken into consideration. Mr.
<br />; Hershner asked about the plan to move people out of the overpark - will a survey be
<br />_,taken - and then who makes the determination as to who is moved.
<br />

<br />
<br />Traffic Engineer said they would first have to know who, where, why, etc. That-
<br />,information will be available prior to the Citizens Bank Building completion.

<br />
<br />Mr. Williams moved seconded by Mr. Hershner'that the council go on record
<br />as supporting the plan for development of downtown parking recognizing the
<br />necessity of an allocation program of parking within the overpark until
<br />such time as additional facilities are brought on line and to encourage
<br />those facilities as soon as possible. Motion carried, all council members
<br />present voting aye.

<br />D. ,Le'fte'x"from Lane County Community Health Advisory Committee Requesting Mandatory Rabies
<br />'Shots as a Condition of Issuance of Dog Licenses
<br />; Dr. White from the County was present to answer questions. Mr. Williams wondered if the
<br />City needed an amendment, since it is part of the County. He was told that, in the
<br />county, the county ordinance applies; in the city, the city ordinance applies. The new
<br />,county ordinance becomes operable July 1. Assistant City Manager said admini~trative
<br />:issues need to be resolved before Council takes action - matters such-as cost, who
<br />bears them, working arrangements, etc. The County staff is working on it and the
<br />city is participating and supporting what they are attempting to do. Dr. White urged
<br />Council to take action and support the ordinance requiring immunization for dogs
<br />,before a license is issued.
<br />
<br />.
<br />
<br />:Dr. White explained that the chief problem in'rabies exists in wildlife - bats, skunks
<br />and foxes. The only domestic animal they can handle is the dog. A cat is not a domestic
<br />;animal - no one legally owns a cat, and they have no authority to change this legislation.'
<br />iHe added a rabies shot is' effec.tive 9E-.-dC!y 30 and,lasts for 3 years._ ..After therec;:ent
<br />;problem with a rabid dog, 17,000 animals were immdnized. Mrs. Campbell asked about
<br />treduced r<?-tes for low-income persons. Dr. White said the vete:dnarians have been
<br />,running clinics.
<br />..
<br />
<br />,Assistant City Manager gave some explanation on the present system. The county
<br />!takes care of licensing. The county accepted responsibility for dog control enforcement
<br />lon the condition that the city would guarantee that the costs of enforcing within the
<br />, 'city were paid for by the revenues from licensing city dog~, plus court costs. They
<br />!have not been doing that, and the city has been paying general fund monies to make up
<br />,~the difference between revenues from licensing and court and the cost of three dog
<br />:control officers assigned to the City of Eugene. Negotiations are presently being
<br />: conducted.
<br />
<br />Mr. ,Williams moved seconded by Mr. Hershner that the Council go on record iComm _
<br />supporting the program and giving staff the directive to attempt to work 4/24/74 ~
<br />with the county and see that an equitable system that fairly represents the Approve
<br />public health aspect of this is developed. Vote was taken on the motion which '
<br />carried, all members present voting aye.
