Approve I. Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission Appointments-- Since Eugene, Lane County, and Springfield have all taken action on the Wastewater Management contract, appointments from each jurisdiction to the Commission are now necessary. The contract provides that, of the three appointments to be made by Eugene, the governing body is to appoint one elected official and the City Council is to appoint two other indivi- duals. Assistant City Attorney Stan Long clarified that the appointment by the governing body can be made by anyone on which the governing body agrees. Mayor Keller, a member of the current Sewer Advisory Commission, noted that for purposes of continuity he would be glad to serve until May 16. Mrs. Smith expressed the hope that all appointments could be made "today", as the schedule is tight and timing is critical. Mr. Obie requested opinions from Council members on the idea of the mayor appointing one member and the Council appointing the other two. Mr. Williams said he was not troubled with the mayor making an appointment, even if he deemed that appointing himself was the most appropriate. Mr. Delay ex- pressed the feeling that all appointments should be made by the Council. Mrs. Smith suggested that Mark Westling, a current Sewer Advisory Commission member, would be a good candidate for appointment, as well as Pat Hocken, a League of Women Voters observer to that commission since 1974. e Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, that the City Council appoint Mayor Keller to fill the "elected official" slot, with Mrs. Smith as alternate, and that it appoint Mark Westling and Pat Hocken to fill the other two terms. . 108 2/14/77 - 32
