- Responding to comments, Mr. Gleason said presentations can be scheduled on some Wednesdays easily. Other Wednesday agendas are quite full. The council seemed to want presentations from industries and other segments of the community. He suggested the staff schedule at least one presentation a month whenever possible. Mr. Hansen moved, seconded by Ms. Schue, to support Mr. Rutan's proposal for presentations by industrial representatives once a month before the council and to include presentations about other activities in the community. Commenting on the motion, Mr. Hansen suggested the staff work with councilors in choosing the activities to be presented and Mr. Holmer suggested the program be reviewed in two or three months. Roll call vote. The motion carried unanimously, 8:0. e III. ORDINANCE DESIGNATING PUBLIC CONTRACT REVIEW BOARD (memo attached, ordinance distributed) City Manager Micheal Gleason introduced the item. Dave Biedermann of the Purchasing Division gave the staff report. He said the 1983 Oregon Legislature abolished the State Public Contract Review Board and delegated the authority to local governments. The ordinance designates the City Council as the Public Contract Review Board and specifies the council's powers when it acts as the Public Contract Review Board. Regulations governing the exercise of those powers will be presented to the council in the future. Answering questions from Ms. Erhman and Ms. Wooten, Mr. Biedermann said the council will probably consider exemption of specific contracts and disqualification of bidders. For example, the council might act if an article is available from only one source because bids would not be needed. The 1983 legislation created an advisory committee which included vendor, public, and governmental representatives. He had talked to local vendors about the proposed process. They favored it. Mr. Sercombe said the council has been designated as the Public Contract Review Board in the City Code since 1976. e CB 2805--An ordinance concerning public contracts; designating the City Council as the Public Contract Review Board; adding Sections 2.1200, 2.1205, 2.1210, and 2.1215 to the Eugene code, 1971; repealing Sections 2.856, 2.857, 2.858, 2.859, 2.860, 2.861, 2.862, 2.863. 2.864, 2.865. 2.866, 2.867, 2.868, 2.869, 2.870 and 2.871 of that code; and declaring an emergency. Mr. Hansen moved, seconded by Ms. Schue, that the bill be read the second time by council bill number only, with unanimous consent of the council, and that enactment be considered at this time. Roll call vote; the motion carried unanimously, 8:0. MINUTES--Eugene City Council January 30, 1985 Page 4
