Further discussicncentered on the confusion should the additional allocation not be made after the program was started.

The letter stated that appropriate action ,for the Council to take would be to mandate that the report from the Com- :munity Goals Conference be held off until September to provide opportunity :for input from working people to come through dialogues held throughout Eugene ~ over the ne;t three months. , I jAt the conclusion of other business, Councilman Murray reminded Council members I !of the'fina1 meeting of the Goals ,Conference on Wednesday, June 5, 7:30 p.m." ' :,,at the Eugene Hotel, and that whatever recommendations adopted from that ~Conference would eventually come to the Council for consideration. Mrs. ;Campbe1l referred to the Labor Council's statement about lack of participa- : tion in the Conference by working people. She wondered if labor prople were ; considered in making up ~he list of invitations to the meetings. Mr. Murray answered that there was an,attempt to broaden the base of participation over ; that of the 1967 Conference ~n terms .of geographical area, professions, special! interests, etc. Although he felt it did fall short of perfection, there was an effort and .he felt there was much broader participation than before. Mayor Anderson noted solicitation made of the labor unions, Chamber of Com- merce, and civic groups for suggested conferees, saying the opportunity was there for participation. Planning Director added that articles about the Conference appeared in the Register-Guard and it was reported by other news media in an attempt to gain broad participation. . ,Further discussion resulted in agreement that there should be response to i the Labor Council letter explaining steps taken in getting the Conference , !together and indicating the concern with community involvement in the process. j Other-Council members were reluctant to accept Mrs. Beal's suggestion that i labor people be invited to the final meeting on June 5 because of the an- ) !nou~ced procedure and plan for conduct of the Conference and the necessity ; ; for attendance at all meetings to enable informed voting on the recommenda- :tions to be made. Mr. Murray suggest informing them that whatever'emerged ;from the Conference would be a document for. public ftiscussion before the ; Council. ! , i I , . , '--- It was understood staff would respond to the Labor Council letter as indicated. comm 5/29/74 Affirm o. propOse-a ''rel"eprompter Rate - Incieaf;'e'-c:::.r.e,tt~i":-;'~s received from Te1ePrompter------ !informing the Council of their intention to raise monthly cable TV rates from !$S.OO to $6.95/ and from $1.00 to $1.50 for additional out1ets, effective I September 1/ 1974.

Also, that Councilman McDonald ihad informed him that at the time of previous adjustment. of cable TV rates the (Teleprompter people indicated they would be in a position to extend service to I new areas if a rate adjustment was grante4at that time.
