<br /> . <br /> . <br /> Mayor Keller felt the make-up of the membership was a concession and e <br /> felt the one man, one vote would be used only in rare cases but it was an <br /> important matter to maintain. <br /> Vote was taken on the motion which carried with Haws, Hamel, <br /> Williams, Bradley, and Obie voting aye; Delay, Lieuallen, and <br /> Smith voting no. <br /> Mr. Haws requested direction regarding the financing issue. Manager <br /> noted it might be possible if Lane County finances the EIC, they would <br /> wish to take authority and control. The City staff also felt it important <br /> that other communities make a genuine commitment to participate and one <br /> way would be to have them contribute financially. <br /> Mr. Williams felt it was not important to publiCly instruct Mr. Haws how <br /> to negotiate on everything. Mr. Obie concurred. <br /> Mr. Bradley felt there might be some way that Lane County could fund <br /> the first year but not allow them to maintain the right of control of <br /> veto. Mr. Hamel did not like the free money attitude. Mr. Delay <br /> , expressed concern the County would have the right to direct the EIC any <br /> way it wished if it were to fully finance it. <br /> Mr. Bradley felt there could be a requirement made that Lane County, <br /> contributions be made to L-COG and if not, then Eugene will participate <br /> in the funding. <br /> Mayor Keller felt if the program were worthwhile, then the City should pay e <br /> accordingly. Mr. Hamel agreed that Eugene should pay its own way. Mr. <br /> Williams again reiterated he felt it a mistake to try to instruct Mr. Haws <br /> how to negotiate on all issues. <br /> Consensus was that Mr. Haws would negotiate as best he could for the <br /> City.s interests. <br /> Mr. Obie and Mr. Haws left the meeting. <br /> Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Bradley, that Item VI (Public <br /> Heari ngs re: Water Withdrawals) be held over to the June 21 <br /> meeting. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Bradley, that according to <br /> ORS 192.660(2)(a), the Eugene City Council meet in Executive <br /> Session to consult with counsel with regard to authority to negotiate <br /> a real property acquisition. Motion ca~ried unanimously. <br /> Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Bradley, to return to <br /> regular session. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> Regular session was reconvened at 1:5U p.m. <br /> -e <br /> 6/14178 - 8 <br /> IofIfCa <br />I <br />
