e M I NUT E S Eugene City Council McNutt Room--City Hall September 13, 1989 11 : 30 a. m . COUNCILORS PRESENT: Ruth Bascom, Rob Bennett, Shawn Boles, Emily Schue, Debra Ehrman, Freeman Holmer, Bobby Green, Roger Rutan. The adjourned meeting of September 11, 1989, of the Eugene City Council was called to order by Mayor Jeff Miller. 1. ITEMS FROM THE CITY COUNCIL, MAYOR, AND CITY MANAGER A. New City Park Ms. Schue announced that Eugene may get a new park on Shasta Loop, along the Ridgeline Trail. A piece of property that has been used as an informal park for several years is currently for sale. One citizen in the area is e particularly interested in the park and is committed to raising enough private funds to purchase the property. Ms. Schue said the Joint Parks Committee will be discussing this issue soon. B. Parking Meters in the Overpark Mr. Boles said he has been contacted by downtown area merchants who are displeased with the enforcement of parking meters in the Overpark. He said patrons are being ticketed when they are only a few minutes late and are beginning to complain to merchants about the strict enforcement. Mr. Boles asked for a report on why the City chose to install meters in the Overpark rather than using attendant parking as originally planned. He felt that attended parking would have solved this problem and would have added a measure of security to the parking garage. C. Garbage Rate Increases Mr. Holmer submitted to the Mayor copies of a memorandum from himself pertaining to the administrative rules for garbage collection, a list of suggested changes to the rules, and a letter from the president of a local sanitary service indicating that he did not approve of the rate increase for a 90-gallon roll cart. Mr. Holmer expressed concern that a legal notice in The Register-Guard had falsely indicated that the local sanitary service providers had approved the rules. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council September 13, 1989 Page 1
