. M I NUT E S EUGENE CITY COUNCIL March 14, 1977 Regular meeting of the Common Council of the City of Eugene, Oregon was called to order by His Honor Mayor Gus Keller at 7:30 p.m. on March 14, 1977 in the Council Chamber with the following Council members present: Eric Haws, D. W. Hamel, Tom Williams, Ray Bradley, Jack Delay, Scott Lieuallen, and Brian Obie. Betty Smith was absent. Mayor Keller recognized March 13-20 as National DeMo1ay Week and welcomed a group of DeMolays from DeMolay District 7, introducting Chip Cross, Master Councilor. They were in attendance to watch local government in action. He welcomed them and extended a greeting of hoping their celebration during the week would be excellent. Mayor Keller recognized Lane County Commissioner Archie Weinstein. Mr. Weinstein indicated he was appearing as an individual and as a Lane County Commissioner. He expressed concern over a recent news article, citing City Manager, in which a concern was expressed regarding delay in resolution of items needing both county and city action because of the reorganization plans now going on in the county government. He felt he had already been found guilty of noncooperation with the Eugene City Council. He cited the letter which had been addressed to Mayor Les Anderson in November 1976, in which he ex- pressed a desire for a meeting between the new Lane County Commissioners and the Eugene City Council. He said, to date, that meeting had not taken place. He noted this had shown a desire on the part of the Commissioners to cooperate with the Eugene City Council, citing also the cooperative agreement with the Metropolitan Sewer Policy Plan. He asked the City Council and Mayor to refrain from any fears that they would get no cooperation from the Lane County Government officials. He expressed a concern that the Lane County government officials be given a trial period, and again expressed the feeling that he did not want to be pre-judged on non-cooperation with the City government. Commissioner Jerry Rust was recognized by Mayor Keller. Mr. Rust noted he wanted to let the City Council know that he felt cooperation between the two governments was necessary and was ready to work together. Mayor Keller expressed appreciation at the offer of cooperation expressed by the two County Commissioners. I. Public Hearings I-A-2 Liquor Licenses 1.
