ITEMS FROM MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL, AND CITY MANAGER A. Meeting Time Mr. Rutan requested clarification of whether lunch meetings were to begin at 11:30 a.m. or at noon. B. Hayward Field e Mr. Rutan reported that Assistant City Manager Dave Whitlow and he had met with representatives of the University of Oregon Athletic Department about an intergovernmental agreement for the use of newly renovated faci 1 i tie.s at Hayward Field. He said the first phase of the project had been completed, with a warm-up track at 18th Avenue and Agate Street and a Master Plan for other developments to be addressed in the next phases. Mr. Rutan added that the issue of Springfield room tax funds had not been resolved, but an agreement with Springfield would be sought, and the issue would be brought back to the City Council through a memo or meeting agenda item. C. Housing Mr. Bennett said residents of his ward had expressed concerns about a house being moved into an in-fill lot in the Laurel Hill neighborhood. He said he agreed with judgments that the structure was not in keeping with the general tone of the neighborhood. He also said the Building Code apparently allowed a foundation to be installed over a considerable period of time and included no provisions for site review. He asked whether the issue was a concern in other areas of the city and said he favored pursuing the matter in some way. Mr. Bennett added that he favored development of lots, but he thought they should fit in with the existing area and should not disrupt the neighborhood. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council September 16, 1987 Page 1
