e e e cy. He felt that problems resulted from the school's principal and staff allowing an open campus policy. Marie Gray, 353 Knoop Lane, pointed out that if the request was approved, the school district would pay more for water serVlce. She also pointed out that the Santa Clara Rural Fire District was closer to North Eugene High School than the nearest Eugene fire station. She noted the quick response from the Oregon State Police to a recent incident at Kelly Middle School. She noted that it was not definite whether the Safe Schools Program would be continued next school year. In conclusion, she asked each councilor to find out how much revenue the City received from citations issued by Eugene police officers in the Interstate 5 corridor. John Neeley, 1600 Horn Lane, summarized his concerns outlined in a letter he submitted to the council. There being no other requests to speak, the public hearing was closed. Ms. Czerniak noted a typographical error on the agenda; "Final Order AZ 92-2" under Item V was changed to "Final Order AZ 92-4." In response to testimony, Ms. Czerniak said that the Eugene Department of Public Safety (DPS) would be able to provide a quicker response time than the volunteer-staffed Santa Clara Rural Fire District. She said City police are frequently in the area responding to calls generated by the adjacent residen- tial development, the River Road/Silver Lane commercial area, and the high traffic volumes on River Road and Beltline Road. She said the school dis- trict's water bill may increase upon annexation. She added that the princi- pal of North Eugene High School was present to answer questions. Responding to a question from Ms. Ehrman, Ms. Czerniak said the Eugene School District 4J Board approved this annexation request and forwarded it to the City. Mr. MacDonald noted that the council's concern regarding open campuses has been forwarded to North Eugene High School and the school board. He added that future reductions in State police patrols were likely to occur due to the impact of Ballot Measure 5. Res. No. 4326--A resolution furthering annexation to the city of Eugene and the Lane County Metropolitan Service District for property located on the north side of Horn Lane, west of Melvina Way. Final Order AZ 92-04--A final order rezoning the property from County RA/UL to City R-1. Ms. Ehrman moved, seconded by Ms. Bascom, to adopt the resolu- tion and final order. Roll call vote; the motion passed unani- mously, 6:0:1, with Councilor Green abstaining. MINUTES--Eugene City Council 7:30 p.m. May 26, 1992 Page 7
