<br />e <br /> <br />Mr. Gleason agreed on the need to move forward with this plan but reminded <br />the council to be aware of the time commitment that will be required. He <br />asked that the council allow staff enough time to establish a work program <br />for a comprehensive plan of this nature. <br /> <br />At Ms. Bascom's suggestion, the council agreed to request a report from the <br />Metro Policy Committee (MPC) at its March meeting on the progress that is <br />being made on the plan. <br /> <br />C. Unhappy Visitor <br /> <br />Mr. Boles requested that staff look into a complaint received from a resident <br />of Bend who voiced concerns with the manner in which she was treated as a <br />visitor to Eugene. If her concerns are well-founded, he requested that the <br />council send a letter of apology to her. <br /> <br />D. Electric Automobiles <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Mr. Boles remarked that he recently had the opportunity to borrow an electri- <br />cally powered automobile and suggested that this type of vehicle might satis- <br />fy the transportation needs for some City departments. He asked for council <br />willingness to ask the City Manager to look at fleet service purchase re- <br />quirements to determine whether it might be feasible for the City to purchase <br />similar vehicles. He noted that this would be a good opportunity for the <br />council to take a lead in its transportation goal. <br /> <br />Mayor Miller said that the City should also examine the environmental trade- <br />offs which might be associated with electric-vehicle usage. <br /> <br />The council agreed to take a preliminary look into the purchase of electric <br />vehicles, but indicated an unwillingness to commit a significant amount of <br />staff time. <br /> <br />E. Councilor Absence <br /> <br />Mr. Rutan indicated that he may be unable to attend council meetings the week <br />of February 25 because of business reasons. <br /> <br />F. Committee to Review State Mandates <br /> <br />Mr. Rutan reported that the work of the committee to examine State mandates <br />has been completed and will be made available soon. He noted that as a re- <br />sult of legislation crafted, the City stands to benefit financially. He <br />commended City staff and State Senator Larry Campbell for their superior <br />involvement on this committee. <br /> <br />G. Contact with Governor's Office <br /> <br />Mr. Rutan indicated that he had an opportunity to meet with Kevin Smith, <br />local liaison to the Governor's Office. He communicated the message that the <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />MINUTES--Eugene City Council <br /> <br />February 13, 1991 <br /> <br />Page 2 <br />
