Mayor's Guest Mayor Obie introduced and welcomed Kia Cheleen, who is in the sixth grade at Cal Young Middle School. He said Kia was born in Vietnam and has lived in the United States for six years. Responding to a question from Mayor Obie, Kia said she won a classroom drawing. She could have chosen a stuffed animal or a helicopter ride, but she chose to have lunch with the Mayor. Mayor Obie said he will look forward to seeing the report she writes about the council. B. Crime in Eugene Councilor Wooten said The Register Guard recently published a good report on crime. She said there seems to be much duplication in crime prevention, efforts to alleviate substance abuse, and the Neighborhood Watch program. She asked the other councilors to consider forming an advisory committee to assess the resources of the City and the community and to find ways to work together to raise an awareness of crime and crime prevention. She suggested the committee operate much as the Task Force on the Homeless and Hungry operated. The other councilors and Mayor Obie agreed to Ms. Wooten's suggestion. She said she would like to meet with Police, Fire, and Emergency Services Director Everett Hall and City Manager Gleason to discuss the committee. She will present the results of the discussions to the council. MINUTES--Eugene City Council February 12, 1986 pa ge 1
