e e e Mr. Obie asked the Planning Commission to reconsider that specific area. He was uncomfortable with the administrative rule process as it might appear to be arbitrary. He suggested the Planning Commission again consider this issue in December or January. Mr. Chenkin said he would see that this is considered by the Planning Commission when they review Phase Two. CB 2267--An ordinance concerning solar energy; amending Sections 9.015, 9.030, 9.035, 9.254, 9.510, 9.512, and 9.514 of the Eugene Code, 1971. Mr. Gleason reminded the council that they would not be declaring this an emergency. Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, 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. Roll call vote; motion carried unanimously. CB 2267 was read the second time by council bill number only. Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, that the council bill be approved and given final passage. Roll call vote; all councilors present voting aye, the bill was declared passed and numbered 18772. C. Ordinance Concerning Mall Pushcarts (memo, proposed guidelines, ordinance distributed) Manager introduced Ernie Drapela, Parks and Recreation. Mr. Drapela said the request is to extend the experimental program of permitting pushcarts on the mall on a permanent basis and to designate the Parks and Recreation Director or his designee to administer this program, rather than the council. Administrative guidelines will be finalized later by the Parks and Recreation Department. An advisory committee made up of representatives from the vendors on the mall, the Downtown Association, and the Downtown Development Board would be appointed. Mr. Drapela said that the finalized guidelines would be provided to the council at a later date but requested that the program be approved at this meeting. Ms. Wooten asked if the guidelines being prepared were the same as those used this past year. Mr. Drapela said the guidelines were suggested by the Downtown Development Board and the Downtown Association. He will also consider input from the vendors themselves. He anticipated further clarification of the construction regulations from the Building Division. He listed other minor changes and explained that he wished to expand the application dates. Adoption of the ordinance will not preclude these changes in the administrative guidelines. Ms. Wooten called attention to guideline I, duration of stay, and asked if the requirement that the vendors be on the mall on Saturdays was a negotiable item. Mr. Drapela said that it was. Ms. Wooten questioned the early deadline for application. Mr. Drapela responded that vendors need to know early who will be able to participate. Ms. Wooten supported the adoption of the ordinance.
