e e e M I NUT E S Eugene City Council McNutt Room--Eugene City Hall February 19, 1992 11:30 a.m. COUNCILORS PRESENT: Shawn Boles, Bobby Green, Ruth Bascom, Randy MacDonald, Paul Nicholson, Kaye Robinette, Roger Rutan. COUNCILORS ABSENT: Debra Ehrman. The adjourned meeting of February 17, 1992, of the Eugene City Council was called to order by Council President Shawn Boles in the absence of Mayor Jeff Miller. I. ITEMS FROM THE CITY COUNCIL, MAYOR, AND CITY MANAGER A. Use of Credit Cards at Airport Mr. Robinette favored the use of credit cards for parking at the airport but stated he did not want the City to lose money in the process. He expressed a willingness to pay an additional fee for the convenience of using a credit card. Mr. Nicholson wondered if installing an unattended automated gate might not be less expensive than using attendants to handle credit cards. Staff was asked to explore the possibility of collecting a surcharge for the privilege of using a credit card, and the feasibility of a front-end mechanism such as that suggested by Mr. Nicholson. B. Systems Development Charges (SDC) Mr. Robinette said a constituent is trying to start a machine shop business. After buying the lot and building and paying what he thought were all appropriate fees, he finds he still has to pay a fire hydrant charge. Mr. Robinette did not understand why that charge was not covered by the SOC. Mr. Boles said the charge cannot be included in SDC by State statute. He added that this is an example of how the contact between the fire safety aspects of permitting and the Permit and Information Center aspects are not coordinated. He suggested the issue be presented to the Building Construction Advisory Committee. C. Passenger Facility Charge Ms. Bascom expressed interest in the Passenger Facility Charge memorandum in council's packet, and felt it should be flagged for follow-up as it relates MINUTES--Eugene City Council Lunch Work Session February 19, 1992 Page 1
