Mr. Torrey noted the following corrections offered by Mr. Kelly to the minutes of the 7:30 p.m. meeting of March 15, 1999: 1) On page 8, paragraph 5, add the word "although" to sentence 4 to clarify the meaning and correct the grammar. The amended sentence should read: "Mr. Kelly said that although the ordinance included an appeal process, it constituted punishment at arrest;" 2) On page 9, paragraph 1, the 5-3 result is numerically correct; however, Mr. Rayor was incorrectly listed as a "no" vote; 3) On page 11, the final sentence in paragraph 6, replace the word "topic" with the words "recommended fee change." In addition, delete the word "however." Mr. Meisner requested that the pages of the meeting agenda packets be consecutively numbered. Mayor Torrey requested that the council vote on the motion to approve the remaining Consent Calendar items A and E. The motion to approve the minutes, as revised, and consideration of requests to place items on the council agenda, passed unanimously, 6:0.

Ms. Walston confirmed that the address listed on the application is not within the city limits, and is not is within Eugene's urban growth boundary. Mayor Torrey suggested that this matter be researched and then addressed by council at the April 14 meeting. Councilors expressed support for this suggestion.
