MINUTES – Eugene City Council Meeting July 9, 2018 Page 5 Council Discussion • The extended the tailgating hours will help give Eugene more of a destination event atmosphere and create economic development opportunities. • Thankful to residents for sharing their input and experiences as well as University of Oregon Community Relations Director Matt Roberts for taking the time to speak with residents. • The three main concerns about the proposed ordinance are parking problems, the game re-entry policy, and underage drinking. MOTION TO AMEND: Councilor Yeh, seconded by Councilor Evans, moved to amend Council Bill 5191 to add a new Section 3 that states: “Section 1 of this ordinance shall sunset and be repealed, effective July 1, 2019, unless extended or made permanent by future Council action. If the University of Oregon (“UO”) intends to request that Council extend or make permanent this ordinance, the UO must submit to Council by April 1, 2019, the following: 1) Information regarding tailgating traffic, and alcohol-related arrests, during the 2018 football season; 2) a coordinated neighborhood parking plan between the UO and the City to ensure emergency vehicle access and mitigation of negative impacts to affected areas; 3) an Autzen Stadium entry and re-entry policy; and 4) an under-age drinking enforcement policy and plan for tailgating before, during and after the UO football games.” Council Discussion • The amendment allows the UO to add the two additional tailgating hours for the upcoming season and also allows them to address issues related to neighborhood impacts. • Consider making the motion more specific in regards to entry re-entry policy – adding “that addresses the issue of over consumption of alcohol by spectators.” • This is a constructive amendment that supports the University and addresses neighborhood concerns. • Make the motion more specific in regards to the information collected – adding “in comparison to previous years” to Section 1.
