e e e recover chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) from refrigerators and other appliances upon disposal. Mayor Miller felt the letter should have been routed through the Intergovern- mental Relations Committee and suggested the process be discussed in a future process session. Mr. Robinette agreed. Mr. Boles recalled that the council had decided that in these instances, the interested councilor raises the issue and prepares the material. Other councilors then would consider the matter individually. The process issue was flagged for future discussion. E. New Fire and Life Safety Equipment Mr. MacDonald said that staff had taken great care to display new Fire and Life Safety Equipment in Fire Station 1. The department has extended the viewing hours to afford councilors a chance to visit the station. F. Carbon Dioxide Emission Reduction Strategy Mr. Boles referred the executive summary of Carbon Dioxide Emission Reduction Strategy for Eugene/Springfield, which offers 50 suggestions, to staff for analysis. He noted the consequences of global warming and encouraged commit- ment from councilors and staff. The City Manager will estimate the staff work load involved in analyzing the suggestions and report back. G. No Name Neighbors Concerned About Crime Mr. Green reported that a group of citizens in his area have decided to meet regularly to discuss proactive approaches in crime prevention. He commended Bev Collins, Department of Public Safety Community Specialist, for her pre- sentation to the group. The group is calling itself No Name Neighbors Con- cerned About Crime. H. Whiteaker Refinement Plan Ms. Bascom asked that the Planning Commission be questioned with regard to its priorities, specifically how the Whiteaker Refinement Plan and Highway 99 project fit. There was consensus to ask the commission to respond via memo- randum. Ms. Childs noted that the commission is planning a joint meeting with the council, but cannot get on the council's calendar until May. Part of the discussion, she said, will be about priorities for next year and how they fit with the council's goals. Mayor Miller recalled that at its last session, the council approved going forward with Highway 99 improvements and the design phase of undergrounding utilities. Les Lyle, Public Works, said it was his understanding that the City would consult the Eugene Water & Elec- tric Board about conduit installation without engaging them in a design project.
