Minutes of those meetings appear below in different type print. March 16, 1977 Committee-of-Whole I. Items from Mayor and Council A. Council Workshop--Mr. Williams requested that an agenda item be added regarding the Council meetings being held anywhere other than the City Council Chamber at night. He noted that perhaps the Wednesday meetings could be considered a Council meeting in order to act on some items once rather than twice. B. Rose Grant Appeal--Mr. Haws noted a letter from the Grants addressed to City Council, a request for reconsideration of the appeal. Mr. Porter said the waiting period for recon- sideration of appeal was one year unless the City Council waives the one-year period. Mr. Haws requested that this item be put on March 23 Committee-of-the-Whole agenda. C. Field Burning Hearing--It was announced by Mr. Haws that the health impact of the field burning hearing would be held Thursday, March 17, at 7 p.m. in the City Council Chamber. Mr. Williams will make a statement on behalf of the Council. D. Request for Council Consideration of Use Tax for City Services-- Mr. Haws noted a citizen request had been made to him in re- gard to use taxes for City services. He requested the staff look into the matter and report back to Council at the March 23 meeting. Mr. Delay noted that he understood the Use Tax to be some kind of basic service charge for City services pro- vided on tax exempt structures. E. Meeting Scheduled--Mr. Haws noted a Homeowners-Builders Associa- tion meeting March 29 and an Easter Seals KVAL appearance March 26, requesting any Council person wishing to make an appearance and greet on behalf of the City. No Council person offered to attend. F. Lane County Boundary Commission and EWEB Suit on Peterson Property-- Mr. Haws requested statement report on this issue. Mr. Long reported that his office would be in association with the EWEB counsel. He noted the Boundary Commission had enjoined EWEB from providing service within dissolved water districts, noting they were extra territorial and required Boundary Commission approval. EWEB's contention was that it had a contract arrangement with the water district and, therefore, it was within the boundary. Mr. Long noted the City wants a decision from the court as to what its obligation is under ~5~ 3/28/77 - 9
