MINUTES – Eugene City Council Meeting July 23, 2018 Page 5 Council Discussion • If smoking is bad enough to ban downtown, it should be banned citywide. • This ordinance will create two different classes of people; if we’re trying to get more people to live downtown, this will constrain some people from doing so. • Do not believe that the Council and public had enough time to think about this vote. VOTE ON SUBSTITUTE MOTION: FAILED 3:5, Councilors Semple, Taylor, and Clark in favor. Council Discussion • If this passes, not sure where people are going to go to smoke, especially if they don’t have a home or if they work downtown. • Voting in favor of the ordinance only because it includes the opt-out provision. VOTE ON ORIGINAL MOTION: PASSED 6:2, Councilors Taylor and Clark opposed. 9. ACTION: A Resolution Designating Eugene as a BEE CITY USA Affiliate Council Discussion • Gratitude expressed for a Beyond Toxics for their hard work dedicated to this resolution as well as parks staff who have gone above and beyond to protect pollinators. • The City is already implementing the policies included in the Bee City designation and this resolution will make sure it continues and strengthens these policies. MOTION: Councilor Clark, seconded by Councilor Taylor, moved to adopt the resolution designating Eugene as a BEE CITY USA affiliate. Council Discussion • Happy to support this resolution and promote protecting pollinators. • This is a feel good action and the right thing to do.
