e Ms. Ehrman questioned the need to limit such an ordinance to a single type of weapon, and Mr. Rutan mentioned that Portland is considering a similar regulation of assault weapons. Mr. Holmer said several examples of regulations should be reviewed. II. APPOINTMENTS: WARD 7 REPRESENTATIVE TO THE BUDGET COMMITTEE Ms. Bascom moved, seconded by Mr. Rutan, to appoint Cheryle Hawkins, 1350 Bailey, as the Ward 7 Representative to the Budget Committee for a term ending December 31, 1991. Roll call vote; the motion passed unanimously, 6:0. III. RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE COUNCIL COMMITTEE ON COMMITTEES City Manager Mike Gleason introduced the item. Barb Bellamy, City Manager's Office, reviewed recommendations included in councilors' packets. e Ms. Ehrman asked whether the Mayor's Tree and Beautification Commission was intended to exist permanently. Ms. Bascom responded that beautification issues were being addressed in a number of ways so that part of the commission could be deleted. She recommended structuring the Tree Commission so members would have specific terms. Because different citizen effort is required for Joint Parks Committee issues, she would not recommend combining the two groups. Ms. Bascom agreed to continue monitoring policies relating to tree issues. Ms. Ehrman pointed out a misprint in the number of members being recommended for the Refuse and Recycling Board: it should increase to five, not seven, members. Mr. Boles suggested expanding the charge of the task force being formed to review the structure of the human rights commissions. He felt the group should pursue a variety of alternatives and he also recommended that the interest groups represented on the task force should include the current commissions as well as other interested citizens. Mayor Miller responded that the task force should have about eight members, and he hoped to appoint a group that will represent advocates for human rights. Ms. Ehrman suggested appointing an additional councilor to participate. Ms. Bascom moved, seconded by Mr. Rutan, to approve the recommendations from the Council Committee on Committees with the increase in the number of members on the Refuse and Recycling Board being corrected to five. Roll call vote; the motion passed unanimously, 6:0. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council February 8, 1989 Page 3
