e Ms. Wooten moved, seconded by Mr. Bennett, to amend the motion to form a consumer subcommittee of the MPC which will represent the public and make recommendations on telecommunication and cable issues. Ms. Schue said the subcommittee is a good idea but it should not be included in the consolidation. Answering a question from Mr. Bennett, Ms. Schue said the MPC should not consider televising Eugene City Council meetings, for example. Ms. Wooten said she suggested the subcommittee make recommendations to the MPC because the issues it should address are county-wide and it should have county-wide representation. The amendment failed 2:6 with Councilors Wooten and Bennett voting aye and Councilors Ehrman, Holmer, Schue, Bascom, Miller, and Rutan voting nay. The motion carried 7:1 with Councilors Ehrman, Holmer, Schue, Bascom, Miller, Rutan, and Bennett voting aye and Councilor Wooten voting nay. Ms. Ehrman moved, seconded by Mr. Holmer, that a council subcommittee be formed to address cable access issues. The motion carried unanimously, 8:0. Ms. Wooten left the meeting. e III. ORDINANCE CONCERNING DISPOSITION OF REAL PROPERTY City Manager Micheal Gleason said the State law was changed two years ago to require procedures for City acquisition and disposal of real property. He said the council held a public hearing on the procedures. Answering a question from Mayor Obie, Mr. Gleason said the proposed procedures do not change City practices very much. He said the procedures set standards for procurement and review procedures which were handled administratively in the past. Referring to pages 2 and 3 of the proposed ordinance, Mr. Holmer said the City Manager is requi red to notify the council of pri vate di sposa 1, property subject to development plans, and surplus property. Mr. Holmer said the ordinance indicates that the recommendtion of the City Manager is implemented automatically unless the council acts. Answering his question, City Attorney Keith Martin said the City has not disposed of any surplus property recently, although the City will do so soon. He said the procedures continue current practices and indicate that the council will be apprised of actions. Mr. Gleason said the Eugene Water & Electric Board (EWEB) Board of Directors did not want every right-of-way transaction to go before the council. He said the council will be notified of significant actions. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council January 14, 1987 Page 6
