- Mayor Obie wondered if he had a conflict of interest. He pointed out that he had not participated in the council's deliberation or discussed the matter with the councilors or staff. Mr. Gleason said he did not think Mayor Obie had a conflict of interest. II. POSTPONEMENT OF CONSIDERATION OF APPEAL OF SIGN CODE BOARD OF APPEALS DECISION (memo distributed) City Manager Michea1 Gleason introduced the discussion. Jim Croteau of the Planning Department gave the staff report. He said a decision of the Sign Code Board of Appeals concerning the signs of three automobile dealerships was appealed to the council, and the council postponed a decision on the appeal until the Sign Code is updated. He said the Planning Commission completed its review of the Sign Code Update in January and the council will hold a public hearing on it in March. He said the Planning Commission tried to find a compromise for the automobile dealerships. Mr. Hansen moved, seconded by Ms. Ehrman, to postpone consideration of an appeal of various automobile dealerships (Kendall Ford, Inc., Dunham 01ds-Cadi11ac, and Valley River Dodge) to April 28, 1986. e Answering a question from Ms. Ehrman, Mr. Croteau said the postponement is agreeable to the dealers. Mr. Hansen said he has been contacted by other people whose signs may violate the Sign Code. He would like the Update to address their concerns as well as the concerns of the automobile dealerships. Roll call vote; the motion carried unanimously, 7:0. III. lEGISLATIVE SUBCOMMITTEE MINUTES/FEDERAL PRIORITY POSITION ON CDBG FUNDING (minutes distributed) A. Consideration of legislative Subcommittee Minutes of February 14, 1986 (minutes distributed) City Manager Michea1 Gleason introduced the topic. Ms. Schue discussed the Legislative Subcommittee minutes of February 14, 1986, which were before the council for approval. She said the subcommittee discussed legislative priorities at that meeting. The priorities are important, she said, because a group of councilors is going to Washington, D.C., soon. She said the subcommittee rules indicate that a decision to which the three members all agree and in which the alternate member participates will become the council's position unless another councilor objects. The rules also indicate that issues on which the members do not all agree will be refered to the whole council. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council February 24, 1986 Page 4
