- City Manager Micheal Gleason stated that the suggestions made by Mr. Obie were excellent and would be considered. He explained that this was not the last joint meeting the council would have with the Planning Commission but that the focus of the meetings will change. He hoped that future meetings would encom- pass discussion of policy issues and reviews of zone changes by the Hearings Official. He stated that the present meeting was the last joint meeting to resolve application problems. B. Other Items from the Council Mr. Hansen asked that staff develop information on the Spay/Neuter Clinic issue for presentation to the council. He stated that he wanted to resolve the issue as soon as possible. He also asked for an update on the Woonerf Project for the West University Area. He stated that he was still receiving letters on the issue and wanted a report from staff on the on-street parking plans for the proj ect. e Mr. Obie distributed an article from the January 17, 1984, edition of the Register-Guard on economic development which stated that the University of Oregon might again be passed over for funding of high technology projects by the State System of Higher Education. He stated that he has discussed the issue with President Paul Olum of the University and has asked the staff to research the issue. He stated that the final decision for the allocation of funds will be made on January 20 at the offices of Tektronics, Inc. in Portland. He felt the City should have known earlier about the funding process, and he suggested that the City participate in the process by sending telegrams to the funding committee to stress the University's needs. He also stated his concern that there were not any members from the greater Eugene area on the State Economic Development Board or the State Tourists and Visitors Board. Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, that the City Council communicate in writing to the Allocation Committee for High Technology Education its support of the University of Oregon request for funding and to request that the State outline input on any vacancies on the State Economic Development Board and the State Tourists and Visitors Board. With the consent of the rest of the council, Mayor Keller suggested that copies of the telegram also be sent to Bud Davis, Chancellor of Higher Education, and to Governor Victor Atiyeh. Roll call vote; the motion as amended passed unanimously, 6:0. The meeting was adjourned to January 23, 1984, at 1:05 p.m. Respectfully submitted, , /?
