Councilor Pap6 supported having further discussion of alternative procedures. He said he would appreciate having someone with expertise in those areas to provide ideas to formulate further policy discussion to refine. He could not support the amendment because it was "too limiting." Councilor Bettman said, given that the grant was for only $50,000 and the auditors could not do everything, the amendment served to narrow the focus. Roll call vote; the vote on the amendment was a tie, 4:4; councilors Bettman, Ortiz, Kelly, and Taylor voting in favor and councilors Poling, Solomon, Pryor, and Pap6 voting in opposition. The amendment died. Roll call vote; the main motion passed 5:3; councilors Bettman, Taylor, and Kelly voting in opposition. Councilor Bettman commented that the discussion had been unnecessary. She averred there was a way to avoid this kind of contention on an issue. She thought the grant could have been configured in such a way as to have majority support of the council. She strongly encouraged the City Manager to work more diligently to put things in front of the council that had broader support. City Manager Taylor responded that staff did try to do just that. City Attorney Klein reminded the council that it needed to vote to ratify the CCIGR actions. Councilor Pap6, seconded by Councilor Solomon, moved to ratify the Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations actions of May 12, and May 26, 2005. Roll call vote; the motion passed unanimously, 8:0. Regarding Consent Calendar Item D, Councilor Pap6 indicated he thought this had been addressed in the budget process. City Manager Taylor explained that this item anticipated that the budget recommendations from the Budget Committee would be adopted when the action was taken. He noted the provision to allow the same types of mailings for the River Road/Santa Clara neighborhood association as the City did for other neighborhood associations. Councilor Pap~ expressed disappointment that the Lane County Board of Commissioners were not providing help in this, given that some of the residents in the River Road area were its constituents. Roll call vote; the motion to approve Consent Calendar Item D passed unanimously, 8:0. 3. PUBLIC HEARING and ACTION: Resolution 4840 Adopting a Supplemental Budget; Making Appropriations for the City of Eugene for the Fiscal Year Beginning July 1, 2004, and Ending June 30, 2005 City Manager Taylor said Kitty Murdoch, Budget Manager for the Finance Division of Central Services, would be available to answer questions. Council President Poling opened the public hearing. Seeing no one present who wished to speak, he closed the public hearing and asked for questions and comments from the council.
