e Mr. Delay understood staff was saying City has these policies but they (staff) do not know what the impact of the policies were. Mr. Long said he felt that was not quite accurate. He did not have completely up-to-date information, but he did know the policies were being used. He said of the 1000 City employees, excluding the Fire and Police Depart- ments, there were probably 200 administrative employees in City Hall who were on flexible time. ln City Hall II administrative staff have flexible time; the maintenance crews come at hours other than 8 o.clock. He said if you look at the total picture, more employees are coming to work at other hours than 8 a.m. lt was consensus of Council to have a staff report regarding the impact of these current policies. e Bill Morrisette said he was proposing the resolution in order to have some specific goals to be approved by the three jurisdictions along with the T-2000 plan. He said Springfield City Council accepted it and referred it to a committee for further study; the Lane County Commis- sioners had unanimously accepted it and turned it over to a study commit- tee also. He said his resolution was directed at not only the City of Eugene, but all public employees including state, federal, and school district. He hoped there would be some coordination of schedules between the pUblic sector, and the private sector might follow the example. The main point of his resolution was to have some specific goals to be incorporated in the T-2000 plan. Mr. Lieuallen felt it was important to have a staff report on the impact the current City policies) and the kind of impact conceivable under the best of conditions. e Mr. Williams felt the concept was appropriate for the T-2000 plan. He questioned the need at this point to create a separate committee to deal with this question, opening up the possibility of other committees wishing to deal with every aspect of the T-2000 plan. He wondered if that was the correct process. Mr. Delay saw this as a question of implementation and was not sure it was necessary to wait until the T-2000 plan was adopted to look at this question. He felt it was proper for Council to look at the issue from the standpoint of coordination and implementation and saw no reason to wait. He was not sure this was the best vehicle but he felt the Council should do something toward coordination and implementation. Mayor Keller said it is a fact that the City has had a policy and three years' experience on this issue. He felt it was necessary for Council to receive the staff report. The fact the City had been on record since 1975 of implementing such a poli~y indicated the Council was supportive of the issue. . Mr. Lieuallen said his understanding of staff report would include the current City policies and their impact on employee morale, on the trans- portation system, and in terms 'of citizens USing City Hall services; with the report to be passed on to the other jurisdictions in the area. 1/25/78--7 58
