Mr. Holmer said no change was needed, stating that this section referred to a e specific program for a private entity. Ms. Schue said it appeared presumptuous for the City to tell the community of Springfield how it ought to operate and that the council did not have any authority to set rules for areas outside the City's boundaries. Mr. Holmer said council was giving instructions to staff and that it was his assumption that they should be told to work cooperatively within the larger community. Mayor Keller stated that it was the Eugene Six-Point Plan and he was comfortable with retaining the "Eugene" language. He said he had no problems with the other changes as stated. Mr. Farah briefly reviewed the pages within the document containing the changes, adding that staff was recommending that council adopt the Six-Point Program and forward the chapter on Proposed Policy Foundation to the Community Goals Committee for review at the Community Goals Conference. Res. No. 3819--A resolution repealing Resolution No. 3730 and adopting the Six-Point Economic Diversification Program/FY83-84 Action Plan. Ms. Schue moved, seconded by Mr. Obie, to adopt the resolution with the proposed changes (except the proposal to change the word IIEugene" to "Community" in Section III, A) as suggested and foward the appropriate sections to the Community Goals Committee. Roll call vote; the motion carried unanimously, 6:0. Mr. Gleason thanked the council for their time and effort in reviewing the document, stating that staff depended on those types of documents for guidance. e Mayor Keller said he preferred the original two-page document and he hoped that the next plan would not be any longer than 33 pages. Mr. Gleason said the work programs supporting the goals were added for clarification. v. HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSIONS' QUARTERLY REPORT (memo and reports distributed) City Manager Micheal Gleason introduced the agenda item. Jean Names, President of the Women's Commission and the Human Rights Presidents' Council, presented the staff report. Ms. Names briefly reviewed the November 16 Human Rights Staff memorandum to the City Council, outlining the work plans of the Human Rights' commissions. She stated that this was the first quarterly report to the council and a new reporting format was being used. She distributed information pertinent to the applications for boards and commissions received by the council, stressing that 49 percent of the 137 applications for the 31 vacant positions were from women. She said she would return in January 1984 to report on the second quarter. Councilor Smith stated that the new reporting format was quite clear and self- exp 1 anatory . She said it would be helpful in monitoring the activities and attendance of the commissions. - MINUTES--Eugene City Council November 23, 1983 Page 6
