ITEMS FROM MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL, AND CITY MANAGER <br /> <br />Mr. Poling announced he had received a letter from the Association for Metropolitan Sewage <br />Agencies (AMSA) announcing that the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Wastewater Pollution <br />Control Plant had been recognized by the AMSA for its contribution to the field of environmental <br />protection and wastewater treatment. The plant had received the AMSA Platinum Award, which <br />recognized facilities for complete and consistent compliance with their National Pollutant <br />Discharge Permit System permit over five consecutive years (1998-2002). He congratulated the <br />Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission for the award. <br /> <br />Ms. Nathanson arrived. <br /> <br />Mr. Kelly asked for follow-up on a past council inquiry regarding the City's effort to mandate <br />recycling in multi-family units. <br /> <br />Ms. Nathanson asked for evidence demonstrating that there was less dry debris, which can <br />potentially pose a fire hazard, as a result of the City's yard debris pick-up program. <br /> <br />Ms. Nathanson noted an opinion piece in The Register-Guard calling for the construction of an <br />arena near downtown and asked how the timing of the University of Oregon's site selection <br />process fit in with the City's adoption of the Eugene Downtown Plan update. She did not want to <br />miss any opportunities that might arise in conjunction with that project and did not want to be <br />faced with last-minute decisions. <br /> <br />Ms. Solomon had no items. <br /> <br />Mr. Pap~ congratulated Parks and Open Space staff for the division's award-winning new logo, <br />designed by Funk Levis and Associates. He commended the quality of the City's Parks and Open <br />Space Program. <br /> <br />Mr. Pap~ reiterated his previous request for a river clean-up, perhaps in coordination with Lane <br />County. <br /> <br /> MINUTES - Eugene City Council June 23, 2003 Page 1 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br /> <br />
