------- e C. Representation of the Mayor Before the Ethics Commission Mr. Robinette said that, with the council's permission, he would like a City Attorney's opinion about whether it would be appropriate for the City Attor- ney's Office to represent the Mayor before the Ethics Commission. By consensus, the council agreed to this request. D. Fairgrounds Master Plan Mr. Boles said that in a recent meeting of the Westside Neighborhood Quality Project, citizens expressed concern with the continual delay of the Fair- grounds Master Plan. He noted that the County has expressed little dedica- tion to beginning work on the master plan any time soon. Mr. Boles said that it is the position of the neighborhood that land use decisions for the area should not be made until there is a master plan for the area. He said that he supports the neighborhood's position and suggested that the council pre- pare a letter urging the County to begin the Fairgrounds Master Plan right away. The council offered its support for the suggestion. E. South Hills Fire Prevention and Education Program Mr. MacDonald reported that as part of the South Hills Fire Prevention and e Education Program, there will be a video presentation with tips for safe homeowner practices on July 18, at 7 p.m., in the City Council Chamber. He invited interested councilors to attend. II. EUGENE DECISIONS DESIGN APPROVAL Barbara Bellamy, City Manager's Office, updated the council on the Eugene Decisions process. She said that the Council Committee on Eugene Decisions has begun planning Phase 3 of the Eugene Decisions process, which is the development of preliminary strategies for the financing of City services. This phase is scheduled to begin in July and will provide the first opportu- nity for public involvement. Ms. Bellamy said that the committee has recommended that public input be focused on 13 key service areas. The committee has recommended that five service areas be set aside initially because either funding strategies are already in place to address the needs of those services (airport and waste- water treatment) or the services should be expanded or reduced relative to changes in other service areas (muniCipal court, emergency dispatch, policy support, and business functions). Responding to a question from Mr. Nicholson, Ms. Bellamy said that the activ- ities of the urban renewal district would be considered under the category of development services and would be included within the 13 key service areas. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 12, 1991 Page 2
