Pap~ pointed out that his ward contained 43 percent more people than the smallest ward, and therefore it was not represented adequately. He pointed out that the council adopted five criteria, and the fifth, council incumbency, was the only criterion on which there was not unanimous agreement. Councilor Pap~ spoke to the long-term nature of the task at hand, and said the council should do it right without taking into account the people currently in office because the council would change over time. Councilor Farr also supported the Indigo D scenario for the reasons related to population inequity stated by Councilor Pap~. Indigo D ensured that two councilors represented the community living on the north side of the river. Mayor Torrey noted his own support for the Indigo D scenario. Roll call vote; the vote on the motion was a 4:4 tie; councilors Taylor, Kelly, Rayor, and Bettman voting yes; councilors Nathanson, Meisner, Farr, and Pap~ voting no. Mayor Torrey cast a vote in opposition to the motion, and it failed on a final vote of 5:4. Councilor Taylor, seconded by Councilor Kelly, moved to adopt Resolution 4693, realigning Eugene city ward boundaries with a map using Scenario Indigo D. In response to Councilor Papa's comments about the need to consider ward redistricting without taking into account current office holders, Councilor Bettman maintained that the council did not do so in relation to the Indigo D scenario. She said that there were many scenarios that were never presented to the council that would have redistricted some of the wards of the councilors who support Indigo D. She said there were many variations the council could have looked at regarding ward 8, 6, 5, and 4 that were just never presented to it. She said "so that really didn't happen, that wasn't a criteria," and she wanted to correct it for the record. Speaking in opposition to the motion, Councilor Bettman believed the Indigo D scenario was designed to minimize the influence of certain constituencies. She said that it put downtown in a ward that reached all the way to River Road/Santa Clara, and it was a drastic change from the existing ward system. Councilor Rayor also opposed the motion. He said that if it passed, he would ask that the council appoint him to Ward 4, which would not have a sitting councilor. Councilor Rayor, seconded by Councilor Pap~, moved to amend the draft resolution (Attachment B) by revising recital F through the addition of the following text: "...except that where two or more councilors reside in a single ward, the councilor with the longest remaining term shall be assigned to the ward in which he or she resides"; by revising Section 2 of the ordinance so that Ward 1 would be assigned to Councilor Bettman with an term expiration MINUTES--Eugene City Council November 26, 2001 Page 15 Regular Meeting
