ITEMS FROM MAYOR & COUNCIL, APPOINTMENTS, ANNOUNCEMENTS, AGENDA ADJUSTMENTS A. Emergency Jobs Appropriation Bill Councilor Wooten asked if the City was involved in lobbying efforts for passage of the Emergency Jobs Appropriation bill. She felt that this bill could benefit the City in the FY83-84 budget period. City Manager Micheal Gleason responded that Eugene Development Department Director John Porter and the City's Inter- governmental Relations staff had been following this bill but that there was considerable confusion between staff of the Department of Housing and Urban Development and local representatives regarding the implications of the bill. He noted that regulations for use of existing Community Development funds were yet to be approved. Staff will keep councilors apprised of the situation. B. Buy Oregon Program Councilor Holmer noted that he had received the agenda for an upcoming meeting of the Council Subcommittee on Economic Diversification. He felt that the matter of contracting with the Buy Oregon program should be discussed by the full council and noted that he had some reservations about the proposal. Councilors agreed that this matter would be brought before the full council. C. Announcements Mr. Gleason announced that interviews for the opening on the Citizen Involvement Committee have been scheduled for 7:00 p.m. on April 25. Councilor Smith noted that there was a Budget Subcommittee meeting at 5:15 that evening. Councilors agreed to hold the interviews at 7:15 p.m. on April 25. .
