e Mr. Boles suggested that the council review the CLS Task Force recommenda- tions in September. II. ITEMS FROM THE COUNCIL Ms. Bascom asked about a recent cleanup effort at Walnut Grove. Pat Decker, POD, who participated in the project, said many people from the neighborhood had attended the cleanup, as had Public Works staff. Ms. Bascom suggested that councilors attend the Washington Park dedication. A signup sheet for the event was circulated. Ms. Bascom said 38 families in the Maple Wood Meadows low income housing project had participated in a dedi- cation of their facility and two residents opened their units to tours. Mr. Nicholson said he had received several calls from people about tying up dogs outside businesses and the need to permit dog runs in parks. Linda Norris, Acting Assistant City Manager, said the Joint Parks Committee would discuss the issue of dog runs in public parks. Mr. Nicholson said he had gotten two calls that week from people accusing animal control officers of gratuitous ticketing. Mr. Gleason said he would review this matter and the issue of tying up dogs outside businesses. Mr. Nicholson suggested that the council show its gratitude to Alice Soderwall for her many years of work recycling glass. The council agreed ~ that a plaque and letter of appreciation would be prepared. Mr. Boles said CATS scoping sessions had been poorly attended and the CIC would review the City's citizen involvement process for this kind of event. He said he planned to attend a Lane County Home Builders Association meeting that Thursday. He said a bike bill celebration would be held June 13 at EWEB Plaza. Mr. Boles said a transportation bill would go before Congress that week and suggested that Intergovernmental Relations staff write a letter expressing the City's concerns in this regard. Mr. Green said he had spoken to Dave Whitlow, Director of the Department of Public Safety (DPS), about a perceived lack of police response in his neigh- borhood. He said Mr. Whitlow had invited him to visit the 9-1-1 System of- fice in order to witness first-hand the difficulties that officers have re- sponding to calls. He said he planned to do this. Ms. Ehrman said she would attend a ODD meeting on June 12 in place of Coun- cilor Roger Rutan. She said a subcommittee formed to followup the council's charge to DPS about the social services component of its long-range plan had completed its task after several meetings, and its recommendations would go to the Public Safety Advisory Committee (PSAC) and then to the council. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 10, 1991 Page 6
