Responding to a question from Councilor Pap8 about Item F, Jim Orgliasso, Eugene Water & Electric Board treasurer, reviewed the three parts of the bond resolution before the council.

Councilor Pap8 left during the break. 4.PUBLIC HEARING AND POSSIBLE ACTION: An Ordinance Concerning Solid Waste, Yard Debris and Recycling, and Amending Sections 3.005, 3.245, 3.247, 3.250, 3.270, and 4.855 of the Eugene Code, 1971; Amending and Renumbering Sections 3.265, 3.275, and 3.284 of That Code; Repealing Sections 3.260, 3.272, and 3.282 of That Code; and Adding a New Section 3.290 to That Code Mayor Torrey noted that Councilor Pap~ was recused for the item and had asked to be excused for the remainder of the meeting. Mayor Torrey opened the public hearing. There being no requests to speak, he closed the public hearing. Councilor Kelly thanked Nancy Young of the Planning and Development Department for responding to the issues raised in the work session. He noted that the administrative rules included the hauler and customer responsibilities, and confirmed that the council receives proposed administrative rules and can offer individual comment at that point. Councilor Bettman expressed disappointment about the lack of people in attendance and the lack of testimony presented to the council, and asked what sort of notice the item received. Ms. Young reviewed the notice made to the haulers and said that most of the items are housekeeping changes. The rule would be more in-depth and would be publicized as well. Councilor Bettman said she objected to the language in Section 3.247 related to the reduction of the total number of licenses in the event a license was terminated or forfeited. She said the council chose not to reduce the number of licenses at the policy level, but through attrition that could occur. She indicated she would move to delete the addition. Councilor Taylor concurred with the remarks of Councilor Bettman. She also questioned if there was adequate notice of the hearing provided to the public and suggested the action before the council was not widely known. City Manager Carlson said that the council would consider Council Bill 4788, an ordinance concerning solid waste, yard debris and recycling, and amending sections 3.005, 3.245, 3.247, 3.250, 3.270, and 4.855 of the Eugene Code, 1971; amending and renumbering sections 3.265, 3.275, and 3.284 of that code; repealing sections 3.260, 3.272, and 3.282 of that code; and adding a new Section 3.290 to that code. Councilor Kelly, seconded by Councilor Fart, moved that the bill, with unanimous consent of the council, be read the second time by council bill number only, and that enactment be considered at this time. Roll call vote; the motion passed unanimously, 7:0. MINUTES--Eugene City Council May 13, 2002 Page 7 Regular Meeting
