<br />. In response to Councilman Keller, Assistant Manager said ordinances were adopted in
<br />., Cottage Grove to permi t gambling in fraternal organizations only. He added that the
<br />~city managet in Springfield had reported no pressure to go beyond that level either. ;
<br />
<br />-. \ Councilman McDonald asked if permi tting social games in fraternal and religious Organiza-.!
<br />. !tions would allow the organization to receive a certain amount of money for their bene- j
<br />~fit~ Mr. Long answered that that was specifically prohibited by State law.
<br />
<br />John Langan, pit Stop Tavern, said he would like to see the ordinances adopted. He felt
<br />regulations'therein y,rere appropriate for all those interested, including taverns,
<br />restaurants, fraternal and religious organizations. . He noted that social gambling , ...... .~
<br />was permitted in Junction City, Creswell, Cottage Grove, and Springfield so he felt
<br />it should be allowed in Eugene. He thought the apparent disinterest was the result of
<br />the issue's having "drug on" for so long. He suggested a $2.00 limit so that no big
<br />: games would be involved and said as long as no gambling was permitted it would continue I
<br />iin residential areas instead of in public places.

<br />. amendment to resolution authorizing testimony before the State Legislature on behalf
<br />of the ci ty were previously distributed to Council members. The amendment., prepared
<br />/ by Councilman Williams, would authorize the City Manager or his designee to speak on,
<br />_ : issues before the Legislature when time pressures did not permit prior Council approval.
<br />Also, that summaries of such testimony would be provided to the Council for review
<br />and comment. Councilman Williams explained that the designee most likely would be a
<br />legislative aide in the Manager's office or possibly the Assistant Manager. He felt
<br />the amendment was warranted, especially at the end of the legislative session when i
<br />lissues were sometimes brought to the floor in a hurry and immediate action on behalf
<br />L~f the ci ty might be' necessary. .. . .. _'. .._
