<br /> - ----- <br />e E. Multicultural Center <br /> Mr. Green said that the community needs a place where all cultures could come <br /> together. He envisioned a facility in which public forums and cultural arts <br /> performances are held and nonprofit organizations are housed. Councilors <br /> expressed concern about potential "ghettoization," how to ensure that all <br /> cultures are represented, and the need to not duplicate existing recreational <br /> facilities and service agencies. They suggested assigning the new Human <br /> Rights Commission the task of studying the community's needs and the costs of <br /> a facility, and developing a proposal for council consideration. They agreed <br /> to give careful consideration to the recommendations of the commission but <br /> noted that agreement did not imply accepting those recommendations. They <br /> also emphasized that they were recommending this work be done with existing <br /> staff resources. <br /> IV. GOALS DISCUSSION <br /> While intergovernmental cooperation was not listed as one of the short list <br /> goals, Mr. Boles felt strongly that it was important to clarify relationships <br /> with other jurisdictions. Councilors agreed that they valued effective <br /> intergovernmental cooperation and accepted the responsibility to work toward <br /> improving that cooperation. <br /> Councilors reached consensus to gather information about what other <br />e communities are doing to address community design issues. <br /> Loud music from an adjacent room interrupted the council's discussion and the <br /> meeting adjourned at 9 p.m. to October 27, 1990. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> ~~;? <br /> L "~~~1 <br /> Micheal Gleason, <br /> City Manager <br /> (Recorded by Mary Feldman) <br /> mncc 102690 <br />e MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 26, 1990 Page 8 <br /> Goal-Setting Session <br />
