<br /> e Ken Tollenaar, 1522 Russett Drive, noted that he was not aware that the public <br /> hearing was continued on this item. He hoped that the council will refer <br /> Section 2.977 to the CIC for further review, citing the importance of ballot <br /> title review by legal counsel. He said he also hoped that the CIC would be <br /> allowed to consider suggestions that have been made, including those made by <br /> the City Club, to improve the initiative/referendum process. <br /> Richard Guske, 1005 Clark Street, CIC member, noted that the CIC also request- <br /> ed that the emergency clause be removed from the draft ordinance. He said <br /> that the CIC discussed concerns about the costs of ballot title review, <br /> especially if done by a private attorney to avoid a potential conflict of <br /> interest, and commented that if the City were required to pay those costs, the <br /> money would be well spent. <br /> There being no other requests to speak, the public hearing was closed. <br /> Responding to a question from Ms. Ehrman, Mr. Biedermann said that the <br /> proposed changes to the ballot title appeal process were included in Section <br /> 2.977, which was removed from the current draft ordinance to reflect the CIe <br /> recommendation. <br /> Responding to a question from Mr. Nicholson, Mr. Gleason requested that the <br /> cou~cil bring the Eugene Code into compliance with State law to avoid poten- <br /> tial lawsuits. <br /> Mr. Rutan recommended that the council act on the proposed changes. He <br /> e commented that the City's ordinance allows for an effective democratic initia- <br /> tive/referendum process and suggested considering that making the process <br /> easier does not necessarily make it better. <br /> CB 4419--An ordinance concerning election procedures; amending <br /> Sections 2.505, 2.515, 2.520, 2.9709, 2.971, 2.973, <br /> 2.975, 2.976, 2.979, 2.980, 2.981, 2.982, 2.983, 2.984, <br /> 2.987, 2.988, 2.990, 2.992, and 2.1990 of the Eugene <br /> Code, 1971; repealing Sections 2.974 and 2.978 of that <br /> Code; and adding Sections 2.1000 and 2.1005 to that Code. <br /> Ms. Ehrman moved, seconded by Ms. Bascom, that the bill, with <br /> unanimous consent of the council, be read the second time, and <br /> that enactment be considered at this time. <br /> Mr. Robinette moved, seconded by Ms. Bascom, to amend the bill to <br /> add Section 2.977. <br /> Speaking against the motion, Ms. Ehrman suggested referring Section 2.977 as a <br /> whole for further review. Responding to a question from Ms. Ehrman, Mr. Klein <br /> explained that the amendment would bring the Eugene Code into compliance with <br /> State law with respect to the following: 1) required number of words in <br /> ballot titles; and 2) time for the city attorney to prepare ballot titles. <br /> e <br /> MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 26, 1992 Page 4 <br /> 7:30 p.m. <br />
