<br />- <br /> <br />Dan Huibert, representing the LTD Board, introduced Ellen Bevington, member of <br />the LTD Planning staff. He said that they were asking for the council's <br />cooperation and support. The intent of the program was to make the transit more <br />effective and efficient. To this end they have proposed a resolution asking the <br />citizens in the community to a series of meetings about transportation in <br />their neighborhoods. The other part of the request was to ask City Council to <br />attend some of these meetings in order to add weight to the proceedings and to <br />give the councilors the opportunity to learn what is going on in public transit. <br /> <br />Ms. Miller believed that it was the council IS tradition that they not pass such <br />a resolution, although she was totally in favor of the LTD program. <br /> <br />Ms. Wooten was willing to abide by the council tradition. She wished to raise <br />an issue of reconsideration of the tradition, since there were times and issues <br />when the public deserves a comment from the council. Mr. Lindberg concurred. <br />Mr. Obie said that the resolution before them concerned Eugene and was germane <br />and within their policy. Ms. Miller asked the policy. She felt that if the <br />council passed resolutions supporting the work of community groups and efforts <br />of such groups without there being some direction of action by the council, then <br />the council would be doing a lot of that. <br /> <br />Ms. Schue said that it would be appropriate in the interim while they were <br />discussing a new policy, to tell the transit district that the council does <br />like the idea, wishes them well, and is supportive of cooperation between the <br />City of Eugene and the transit district without a formal resolution. <br /> <br />The Mayor said that in the past the mayor has sent a strong letter of support in <br />lieu of a resolution, and that is what he would do. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />V. NEIGHBORHOOD CHARTER REVISION (memo distributed) <br /> <br />Mr. Gleason asked the Neighborhood Liaison staff to comment on the resolutions. <br /> <br />Beth Campbell, Neighborhood Liaison, said that throughout the years the charter <br />changes have been brought to the council. In the case of Laurel Hill, it is a <br />minor change in their quorum from 15 to 10; in Crest Drive it is a response to <br />changing boundaries to include west 28th Avenue to 24th Street. <br /> <br />Edna Shirey, 3217 Whitten Drive, said that she welcomed the change in boun- <br />daries, and that everyone should belong to a neighborhood group. <br /> <br />Res. No. 3468--A resolution approving and accepting an amendment to the <br />Laurel Hill Valley Citizens Association Charter. <br /> <br />Mayor Keller left the meeting. Council president Miller presided. <br /> <br />Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, to adopt the resolution. <br />Roll call vote; motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />MINUTES--Eugene City Council <br /> <br />January 28, 1981 <br /> <br />Page 11 <br />
