<br />Councilman Williams objected to the wording "...recommendations will appear on the agenda
<br />of the Committee-of-the-whole';"..." He didn't think it appropriate for the Allocation
<br />Committee in its guidelines to state when an item would appear on the Council's agenda.
<br />Manager suggested adoption of the guidelines with the understanding the wording would be
<br />changed to more appropriately reflect process by which an Allocation Committee recommenda-
<br />tion wOtlld be referred to the Council. Council agreed to that procedure.

<br />I. 'Gambling, Social Games - The-1974 special session of the LegiSlature amended the \
<br />,State law making gambling in the State illegal effective May 4, 1974 unless local ~
<br />jgovernmental agencies enacted ordinances permitting social games as defined in '
<br />the State legislation. City Council was petitioned (454 signatures) to take action,
<br />{by May + legalizing social games in the city. Lettefs were also received from the
<br />i'Elks and Eagles lodges requesting adoption of an ordinance containing the wording: '
<br />~"social games, as defined in House Bill 3327 approved by the Governor and effective~
<br />J ~May 4, 1974, are hereby prohibited in the city of Eugene except that private homes, :
<br />/ :'charitable, fraternal, and religious organizations may engage in social games where,
<br />:\ : there is no income realized from the games." Manclger said that the city of Spring- '\
<br />? :,field declined adopting an ordinance and Lane County had taken no action. He said
<br />(, :staff delayed bringing the petition, presented by Bud Nixo~, 1930 West 11 th Avenue,
<br />"; in order to gain further information on the pattern of legislation throughout the
<br />i State and for analysis of the new law itself and enforcement problems. Manager
<br />rnoted the problem of supplementing State law because of existing games in fraternal
<br />,organizations and in places of public gathering and discriminating between the two
<br />;if an ordinance were adopted.
<br />
<br />e
<br />
<br />;',
<br />~Stan Long, assistant ci ty attorney, explained that: 1971 legislation (new criminal 1
<br />{code) adopted a broad and comprehensive definition of gambling, excepting therein \
<br />, :tcertain business acti vi ties (stocks, bonds, etc.), certain specific si tua tions
<br />~($lO limit in 24-hour periOd, etc.), and social ,games. So~ial games were defined
<br />,,'-'as friendly games in private homes, clubs, or places of public accommodation with
<br />',:,1many limitations - no house player, no odds, no bank, no income except to a private
<br />"~clUb, tavern, etc., if it did not exceed 25% of the gross take. The 1974 special
<br />fsession questioned enforceability of that law and acted to make any gambling in
<br />,~the State illegal, effective May 4, unless a city or county acts by ordinance to
<br />;,'authorize playing of social games in a private club or place of public accommodation.
<br />'~In addi tion, the local option provides for reguiating arid licensing of social games. :
