Motion to Request Court to Excuse Charles T. Henry from Jury Duty (Distributed) Mr. Henry stated that his notice requested him to begin serving on the jury April 15, 1980, two days prior to the departmental budqets being presented to the Budget Committee for review. He noted that in the past, people have merely called up to arrange to be excused from jury duty. He stated that as a supervisor for the Eugene Police Department, he would find himself to be in a conflict of interest. He stated that rather than call in and ask to be excused, he would like to see action from the Council as his employer. Ms. Smith moved, seconded by Mr. Lieuallen, to request that the court excuse Charles T. Henry, due to present commitments as City Manager of Eugene, from jury service. e Mr. Haws stated that he would like to see Mr. Henry participate in the jury system and therefore he would not want to see him excused. He would prefer to see him defer this jury service. Mr. Henry noted that attorneys are automatically excused and Mr. Haws stated, in rebuttal, that he has been involved in both State and Federal jury service but was challenged each time. He stated he would vote against the motion as he does not approve of excusing people from jury duty. Roll call vote; motion carried 4:3, with councilors Delay, Schue, Lieuallen, and Smith voting aye, and councilors Haws, Hamel, and Miller voting no. 3/12/80--3
