VII. . e PARK RULES (Additional Information Distributed Under Separate Cover) Manager explained this was simply a housekeeping item. They had neglected to include that violation of park rules was a violation of the City Code. That is what this council bill is doing. Ms. Miller said she would like to know more about the penalties and how they are incorporated in the code provisions. Manager said the code allows for penalties under a general penalty section at the end. Ms. Miller wondered what the particular penalties are. Mr. Long said he was unaware of the exact penalties. Mr. Delay asked why using a metal detector was included in the list of park violations. Mr. Drapela explained that in parks in other cities, park personnel had been required to fill in excavations resulting from metal detector use. It is not a major problem for the City of Eugene at this time. Ms. Miller asked how one finds out what the administrative rules are. Mr. Drapela replied the rules are posted at the parks and available in the Parks and Recreation and Finance departments. They are now in the process of publishing a brochure explaining the rules, and that was how they discovered this omission. CB 2072--An ordinance concerning the Department of Parks and Recreation; amending Section 2.812 of the Eugene Code, 1971; and declaring an emergency Ms. Smith moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, 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 time. Motion carried unanimously and the bill was read the second time by council bill number only. Ms. Smith moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, that the bill be approved and given final passage. Roll call vote. All Councilors present voting aye, the bill was declared passed and numbered 18570. VIII. CONDEMNATION AUTHORIZATION A enda Attachment; Ma Distributed Under Separate Cover Manager explained this was part of the Willamette Greenway bicycle path which will be constructed by the County. This is the last missing link. The City has offered more than the appraisal. The owner has asked for twice as much. Although the sum is small, it is felt that is is important to not set a precedent by meeting the owner1s asking price. Negotiations will continue. The question of whether the City goes to court remains to be seen. He introduced Mr. Drapela and Mr. Haniuk. e 1/30/80--7
