<br /> I " <br /> , <br /> Jerome Diethelm, stated that he is co-chairperson of the Emerald Waterways <br />. Citizens Committee, Inc. He distributed letters to the council from Goodwill <br /> Industries, Hugh Pritchard, Jean Tate~ Tom Wildish, Bruce Anderson, Garritt <br /> Rosenthal, and the Federal 208 Waterway Quality Program. He also received a <br /> letter from Joanne and Scott Sloan of 345 Potter, as well as receiving corres- <br /> pondehce from Patrick Keogh and Senator Hatfield. He, feels the moneys generated <br /> from this project could be used in Eugene. There is broad base of support. <br /> The project would unite many people and jursidictions. He feels it should be <br /> examined. There are economic benefits as well as a chance to generate power-- <br /> perhaps as much as $1 million. He hopes City policy will determine who will <br /> live downtown. It seems that this project is possible economically, in spite of <br /> the d~fficulties, and waterways are most beautiful. He urged creation of the <br /> task force. <br /> Since' no additional time remained, Tom Anderson, Kirsten Jones, and Jay Rood <br /> were unable to speak in favor. <br /> Ms. Wooten stated that she had received a letter from Deirdre Malarkey of the <br /> Historic Review Board. The board would like to be one of the groups involved <br /> with working on this project and she asked if that is possible. Mr. Lindberg <br /> respo~ded that he would accept that as an amendment and would include the <br /> Historic Review Board and the University as groups to be involved. <br /> Ms. M'i1ler asked how much this would cost. She said there will be some staff <br /> time involved. Minutes will have to be kept and published if this issue is <br /> subject to the open meetings law. Mr. Gleason responded that there will be no <br />. formal staff assistance. The work programs of Planning and Public Works would <br /> not allow it at this time. Staff assistance would be similar to what has been <br /> done with the 4-J school closure issue. There is no possible way to assess the <br /> costs involved at this time. He does not anticipate including it in the work <br /> programs unless directed to do so by the council. Ms. Miller asked who would be <br /> in charge of agendas and minutes. Mr. Lindberg stated that the committee would <br /> comply with the statutes if they gave public meeting notice and kept the minutes <br /> themselves. Mr. Sercombe stated that any groups reporting to the council are <br /> subject to the Oregon Open Meetings Law, but they could give public notice and <br /> keep their own minutes; however, he would like to look at this item again. Ms. <br /> Miller stated that if these groups were delegated those responsibilities, if <br /> there would be any City liability if staff were not available to oversee them. <br /> , , <br /> Mr. Sercombe stated that if their meetings were found to be in violation of the <br /> law any action they had taken \'/ould be declared invalid, which might cause them <br /> to have to hold the meeting over again. <br /> Ms. Smith asked what role L-COG would play and asked if they could give assis- <br /> tance. Mr. Gleason stated that he has not talked with their director. <br /> Ms. S~hue stated that as chair of the L-COG board, she would like to clear up <br /> some misunderstandings. The L-COG board has not taken a position on this issue. <br /> It is their obligation to offer technical expertise and assistance in obtaining <br /> grants. Mr. Rosenthal has b~en interested in this, but comments he has made are <br /> his personal opinion as a member of the citizens committee. <br /> , <br /> , <br />. Mr. Lindberg stated that he had received a letter from the Springfield Utility <br /> Boardl and they have made an application to the Federal Energy Regional Commission <br /> MINUTES--Eugene City Council Jul y 27, 1981 Page 11 <br />
