adopted. He suggested that a three- or four-bullet memorandum summarizing the previous <br />meeting could be useful for the council. If councilors found something of interest, they could <br />seek more information. Mr. Farr acknowledged that such a tool had been discussed the <br />previous year, and he would follow-up. <br /> <br />Mr. Kelly was pleased to hear of the commission's follow-through on the protest response. He <br />thought the Observer Program had worked quite well. He asked for more information on what <br />was being planned between now and next May as incidents were likely to occur. <br /> <br />Mr. Rayor commended the commission's presentation. He said that the sponsoring such a <br />program went beyond the normal role of government and was probably the greatest calling a <br />government could have. Mr. Rayor said that the commission was a great group, and he was <br />impressed with the work of both the commission and staff. He commended the commission for <br />its response to protests during the summer and was pleased to hear more was being worked on. <br />Mr. Rayor noted that some people in the community had created an alternative police review <br />board and he doubted that the Police Commission could reach out to that group in as an effective <br />a manner as the Human Rights Commission. He suggested that the commission consider such <br />outreach. Regarding the issues of racial profiling and anti-hate education, he said they were <br />serious and worthy of the commission's attention. <br /> <br />Mr. Rayor said that he would appreciate any e-mail messages from the commission and could <br />communicate with the commission through e-mails directed through staff. <br /> <br />Mr. Pap8 thanked the commission for its efforts. He said that the commission did fabulous things <br />for Eugene and he agreed with Mr. Meisner that the effort was fairly unique. He especially <br />appreciated the commission's work on hate crimes and its presentation to the council on the hate <br />crimes ordinances. <br /> <br />Mr. Pap8 said that the commission's work during the protests on June 18 was commendable, and <br />he believed the effort kept a volatile situation relatively calm. He thanked staff for its work. <br /> <br />Mr. Pap8 said that he would appreciate any updates the commission wished to share. <br /> <br />Mr. Pap8 believed that during the ten years the commission had been in existence in its current <br />structure, the community had become a more tolerant place. He said that although the council <br />spent much of its time on essential government services like police and fire services, he <br />considered the commission an inspiration for what could be done in the community. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman thanked the commission for its work and said what the commission did represented <br />a high priority for her. She appreciated the commission's commitment and found the <br />presentation very informative. Ms. Bettman thought the proactive nature of the commission's <br />work was very important to the success of the Human Rights Program. She invited telephone <br />calls and e-mail contacts from commissioners. Ms. Bettman said that she would be interested in <br />knowing more about trainings offered by the commission. <br />Ms. Taylor liked the update memorandum suggested by Mr. Kelly. She wanted to know if <br />satisfactory outcomes resulted from the commission's investigation of police complaints. She <br />asked for information about where more regulations were needed or where regulations were <br />unfair or unneeded, or interfere with individual rights. She noted her membership on the Human <br />Development Committee of the National League of Cities and invited the commissions to contact <br />her if they had suggestions. <br /> <br />MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 10, 2000 Page 4 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br /> <br />
