ATTACHMENT D <br /> <br />M I N U T E S <br /> <br /> <br />Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations <br />McNutt Room—Eugene City Hall <br />777 Pearl Street, Eugene, Oregon <br /> <br /> June 6, 2007 <br /> Noon <br /> <br />PRESENT: Bonny Bettman, Chair; Betty Taylor, Chris Pryor, members; Brenda Wilson, Jessica Cross, <br />Randi Zimmer, City Manager's Office; Char Mauch, Municipal Court; Ellwood Cushman, <br />Eugene Police Department; Trevor Taylor, Parks and Open Space Division; Glen Svendsen, <br />Central Services Department. <br /> <br /> <br />1. Call to Order and Review Agenda <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman called the meeting of the Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations (CCIGR) to <br />order. <br /> <br /> <br />2. Grant Proposal <br /> <br />Ms. Wilson indicated the inclusion of the grant proposal in the packet was a “heads up” and the committee <br />would consider the grant at its next meeting. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman indicated the committee would add the grant and the operating agreements to the next agenda. <br /> <br /> <br />3. Review Pending Legislation <br /> <br />House Bill (HB) 2303-A <br /> <br />Ms. Mauch indicated the high priority proposed by staff was due to the fact the bill expanded the jurisdic- <br />tion of the Municipal Court to reduce fines for violations. Ms. Bettman said the bill also extended that <br />authority to violations committed by corporations and limited partnerships. Ms. Mauch concurred, but was <br />unsure of the implications of that as Municipal Court did not deal with those entities. Ms. Bettman <br />suggested the bill be monitored or dropped as she was not interested in reducing fines for corporations or <br />limited partnerships. <br /> <br />Ms. Wilson said the bill allowed for a search warrant to be executed in the same manner as other search <br />warrants under current rules of civil procedure and made it consistent with other administrative rules. The <br />original house bill gave the court discretion to reduce fines where warranted. The City also supported that <br />bill on the record; the question was whether to support the additional provision related to the search warrant. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman indicated acceptance of the staff recommendation and said more staff comment would be <br />useful. <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations June 6, 2007 Page 1 <br /> <br />
