e Ms. Smith stated that in the past, she has felt that the council has had enough local issues to deal with and should, therefore, not spend time on issues which do not have direct local impact. This, however, is an overwhelming issue. She will support the resolution and asked that the council and the City Manager's Office staff serve as the vehicle for forwarding correspondence. By supporting this resolution, she noted that this should not be taken as a directive for the council to take on other such issues. Ms. Schue thanked Ms. Miller for bringing this item to the councills attention. She agrees that the council should not ordinarily get involved in issues outside their jurisdiction, but this bears directly on the community. She hopes the media would come back in two weeks to see the council mail the letters. Ms. Miller requested that the fifth full paragraph of the resolution be deleted as that information does not seem appropriate or necessary. Consensus was to delete the fifth paragraph in the resolution. Mayor Keller suggested posting a copy of the resolution so that people could walk by and sign it. Ms. Wooten stated that was a good idea. There are petitions in other parts of the state. Res. No. 3652--A resolution calling for a bilaterial nuclear weapons freeze. Ms. Miller moved, seconded by Mr. Obie, to adopt the resolution. Roll call vote; motion carried unanimously. e C. Appointments to Eugene Commission on the Rights of Women and Eugene Commission on the Rights of Minorities Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Ms. Schue, to appoint Gail Wiemann, 751 West 12th Avenue, to fill the unexpired term of Page Phillips, expiring January 1, 1983, on the Eugene Commission for the Rights of Women; and to appoint Michelle Nickerson, 939 West 4th Avenue, to fill the unexpired term of Abe Brooks, expiring January 1, 1983, on the Eugene Commission on the Rights of Minorities.
