AMENDMENTS TO CIVIC CENTER COMMISSION CODE PROVISIONS (Memo and proposed ordinance have been distributed to Council members) Manager said that this Code change defines the operation of the interim commission carrying the project through the construction phase. The present ordinance is silent on this matter. Dean Baumgartner, Civic Center Director, said the change reflects the results of a questionnaire completed by Council members on how they want the Civic Center project to be handled. Mrs. Smith wondered if the entire committee would be used or a smaller committee. Mr. Baumgartner responded that probably a smaller committee would be used. Mr. .Obie was concerned that the Council should be involved in establishing the committee because he believes it is Council's responsibility to draw the lines so that they are crystal clear. He would suggest amending the ordinance ina manner that establishes that - . subcommittee. Manager responded that what Mr. Obie is suggesting is authorized in the ordinance draft in Section 2.084(2) which says that "Meetings and other activities of the Commission, its officers and com- mittees, shall conform to the rules, state statutes, chartered provisions, code, ordi nances, and reso 1 uti ons of the Ci ty. II Mr. Baumgartner said that the intent is to have vested in a small group the authority to make on-going decisions. Mr. Obie suggested that staff prepare a matrix of how decisions will be made, when, and by whom for presentation to the Council. It was suggested that the ordinance be passed today, however, as the Commission is operating more or less extra-legally, and that Mr. Obie's concerns be dealt with in a subsection which can be brought back to the Council . C.B. 1753--Concerning the Civic Center Commission, amending Sections 2.013, 2.080, 2.082, 2.084, and 2.086 of the Eugene Code, 1971, and declaring an emergency was read by council bill number and title only, there being no Councilor present requesting that it be read in full. Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Bradley, that the bill be read the second time by council bill number only, with unanimous consent of the Council, and that enactment be considered at this ti me. Motion carried unanimously and the bill was read the second time by council bill number only. - 8/30/78--6 bOO
