Eugene Clinic Mr. Rutan requested a full staff report on an item scheduled for the July 23, 1990, council agenda regarding the alley next to the Eugene Clinic. B. Financing for Housing Programs Mr. Rutan requested that public involvement be a component of the City's low- and moderate-income housing programs. He said the public was very interested in such programs and would be likely to support them if they were kept in- formed. Mr. Boles suggested the City keep the public apprised of its housing poli- cies. In addition, he recommended that the City build the highest quality housing projects possible. C. Irkutsk Delegation Ms. Bascom said a group of dancers from Irkutsk had gone to Seattle for the Goodwill Games. She said a local Rotary Club had furnished three planes from e Eugene to fly the group from Seattle back to Eugene, so they could partici- pate in a series of community performances. Ms. Bascom said the Hilton had offered its plaza for a potluck dinner with the Irkutsk group. She said many people from the community had both participated in the dinner event and attended a later performance at Lane Community College. D. National Conference on Peace Corps Volunteers Mr. Boles said the recent National Conference of Returned Peace Corps Volun- teers had been well attended. He said a world map event had been particular- ly popular. Mayor Miller said that this group of people had been among the nicest he had ever met with. E. Highway 99-Beltline Signage Mayor Miller pointed out that a fatal accident had occurred recently at the Highway 99 offramp on Beltline. He said this was an extremely dangerous spot because the signing was inadequate and confusing. He suggested the City should investigate the possibility of better signage, even though this is a State highway. Mr. Gleason said he would review this possibility with City traffic engi- neers. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council July 25, 1990 Page 5
