motion should be defeated. Councilmwoman Shirey wondered what the options were if the issue was merely postponed to the Wednesday committee session, and no other action taken at this time. That would give opportunity for contact with Springfield in e light of the discussion at this meeting. Vote was taken on the motion as stated. Motion defeated - Council members Keller, Williams, and Bradley voting aye; Council members Murray, Beal, Hamel, Haws, and Shirey voting no. Councilman Hamel asked if there was any way to instruct staff to make further investi- gation. Mr. Long said he would conclude that the prior action (in committee) stands. If an agreement limiting liability to $2000 was not forthcoming, then no agreement would be signed. Mrs. Shirey moved second by Mr. Bradley that staff review the situation in light of discussion at this meeting and bring back for further dis- cussion at the Wednesday committee meeting (October 29), and to ask Springfield staff to attend that meeting. Councilman Murray didn't understand the reason for the motion. He thought it would be asking staff to decide the direction Council wished to take. He understood the program was not in jeopardy, that someone would step in, and that Eugene to some ex- tent was still a partner in the project. Mr. Keller partially agreed. However, he thought if nothing was done, Eugene would not be a participant, and he thought Eugene citizens would like some response. He said the city had contracted for many, many times more money than the $2000 liability discussed, and that the only question seemed to be whether the program would lose money. He thought if Eugene citizens were going to see the exhibits, then the Council should do something. Mr. Murray replied that Eugene's not signing the contract would not necessarily mean there would e be no exhibit. It was hid understanding that the project would go ahead anyway. Mrs. Beal saw no difference between this motion and the one just defeated. Vote was taken on the motion as stated. Motion defeated - Council members Williams, Bradley, and Shirey voting aye; Council members Murray, Keller, Beal, Hamel, and Haws voting no.
