e Referring to Item 5 of the proposed guidelines, Councilor Holmer said that he preferred not having a set period for a review. He suggested that a process be developed that ensured that a review occurred as necessary. He felt the guidelines could remain as written. Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Ms. Wooten, to adopt the guidelines for revisions of the City of Eugene business license processes and approve the process and schedule for the review of the business license regulations. Councilor Holmer asked if the status reports to the interested committees as listed in the proposed revision schedule would provide an opportunity for input from the public, the JCED, and the CCED. Ms. Smernoff responded that staff will begin its study of business licenses and will be making its prelim- inary recommendations on the process this spring. She said these recommenda- tions will be presented to the various interested groups and that staff will be working closely with those groups in developing its final recommendations for presentation to the council.

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT REVENUE BONDS (memo, background information distributed) City Manager Micheal Gleason introduced the agenda item. Susan Smernoff of the Eugene Development Department presented the staff report, reviewing the history of the Federal statutory changes and actions by the City of Eugene in regard to industrial revenue bonds as outlined in the March 14, 1984, CCED memorandum to the City Council. She explained that Federal legislation has recently placed greater restrictions on revenue bonds and that small issues will no longer be allowed after December 1986. She said the CCED was recommend- ing that the City seek a declaratory judgment to determine its status in issuing revenue bonds. She explained that an IRB program would allow appli- cants to have access to the City's tax exempt status as stated in the Federal Revenue Code. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council March 14, 1984 Page 10
