In response to a question from Councilor Bettman, Mr. Solin related that Oregon National Guard troops had <br />been sent to help Hurricane Katrina victims, as an example of Oregon troops helping people in another state. <br /> <br />Councilor Bettman asked who would make the decision to send troops to another state. She asked what <br />would happen in a situation in which there was an emergency that hit another state harder than Oregon. <br />Would “whoever it is that was now administering the emergency management by the military” send troops to <br />another state? Mr. Solin replied that the Oregon National Guard reported to the Governor of Oregon. He <br />explained that after Hurricane Katrina the Governor of Louisiana asked the Governor of Oregon to send <br />troops to help out and the Governor then decided to dispatch some troops. <br /> <br />Councilor Clark moved to adopt a Priority 1 Monitor position on HB 2370-A. The motion <br />died for lack of a second. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy called for a vote on the staff recommendation to adopt a Priority 2 Oppose <br />position on HB 2370-A. Roll call vote; the motion passed, 7:1; Councilor Clark voting in <br />opposition. <br /> <br />Councilor Pryor commended Ms. Wilson and her staff for their hard work in Salem. <br /> <br />The meeting adjourned at 10:03 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Dennis M. Taylor <br />City Manager <br /> <br />(Recorded by Ruth Atcherson) <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council April 9, 2007 Page 16 <br /> Regular Meeting <br />
