e Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, to advise LCOG that the City of Eugene is opposed to compensation for the LCOG Board Chairman.

With consent of the seconds, Mr. Bradley withdrew his amend- ment and Mr. Haws withdrew his motion. Mr. Williams moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, that Council in- struct and direct Mr. Haws to advise the Board of Directors of LCOG that the City of Eugene feels that, by charter, it is barred from having its representative receive compensation in any way that would be construed as paid by City of Eugene funds, that the city deems it incongruous for others to participate in receiving money paid by Eugene, and accordingly declines to take any specific position on the measure. - Mr. Bradley amended the motion, seconded by Mr. Haws, to authorize Mr. Haws to vote no on the proposal as it applies to a representative from the City of Eugene, and with the understanding it would have the city's consent as long as it applied only to the other jurisdictions.
