<br />e <br /> <br />M I NUT E S <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL <br />March 26, 1980 <br /> <br />Adjourned meeting of the City Council of the City of Eugene, Oregon, was called <br />to order by His Honor Mayor Gus Keller, at 11:45 a.m., March 26, 1980, with the <br />following councilors present: Betty Smith, Scott Lieuallen, Eric Haws, Gretchen <br />Miller, Brian Obie, Emily Schue, and Jack Delay. Councilor D. W. Hamel was <br />absent. <br /> <br />I. ITEMS FROM MAYOR AND COUNCIL, APPOINTMENTS, ANNOUNCEMENTS, AGENDA ADJUSTMENTS <br /> <br />Mayor Keller noted that today's meeting is being conducted with the <br />revised agenda, not the original. <br /> <br />A. Mr. Obie referred to a memo which had gone to Mayor Keller and the <br />councilors regarding a proposal affecting 25 non-conforming use mobile <br />homes. In the past, mobile homes have been treated as non-conforming <br />uses of land and could not be rented or resold. Replacement of these <br />mobile homes is expensive, and it also works against the objective of <br />low-cost housing. He urged the council to refer this matter to the <br />Planning Commission and to consider a code amendment that would <br />eliminate the restrictions regarding resale and rental. <br /> <br />~ Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, to refer this memo's <br />contents to the Planning Commission. Roll call vote; motion <br />carried unanimously. <br /> <br />B. Mr. Haws stated he would not be present at the April 14 council <br />meeting. <br /> <br />C. Ms. Smith referred to the National League of Cities memo highlights. <br />She stated the meeting had been very successful and they had the <br />opportunity to meet with the congressional delegation. They also had <br />the opportunity to give input to the Energy and Environmental Quality <br />Natural Resources Committee. Originally, funding of treatment plants <br />was not to be high priority with this committee, but with the input <br />they were able to give, they were able to maintain this issue and <br />identify it as a high-priority item. They also had the opportunity <br />to speak in favor of revenue sharing. The information they received is <br />that State revenue sharing may be in trouble, but our congressional <br />delegation is hopeful that they can continue to support City revenue <br />sharing. Due to budget cuts, the CETA and Community Development Block <br />Grant programs may be in jeopardy this next fiscal year, and they <br />conveyed their concerns for Eugene and for the State of Oregon. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />3/26/80--1 <br />
