Mr. Kelly asked for an update on the process for convening the Riverfront Research Park Planning Committee, specifically how the citizen members would be appointed. E. House Moving Mr. Kelly said he was surprised to find that there are no civil penalties in the code for those who violate right-of-way usage and asked staff to consider imposing penalties for egregious, willful, repeat violations. F. Lorane Highway Mr. Rayor said he has received complaints about the condition of Lorane Highway and asked staff to report on any plans to include the highway in the City's street study. Mr. Lee arrived at the meeting. G. Intergovernmental Relations (IGR) Committee Mr. Rayor expressed appreciation for the staff work on making recommendations on bills before the State Legislature. H. Code Enforcement Ms. Nathanson thanked Planning and Development Department staff for her ride-along on a code enforcement. She described the experience as "full of information and education," adding it was very helpful. I. North End Scoping Group Ms. Nathanson reported on the last North End Scoping Group meeting, noting that the General Services Administration (GSA, a federal office) was represented on the group. She said she wanted to make it clear that the site for the new federal courthouse has not been chosen, but of the three being considered, one is inside the area being studied and the others are close by, so the GSA's participation was very helpful. Ms. Nathanson said she was pleased to see staff from Public Works and the Police Department at the meeting. She made the distinction between the US District Court and the GSA, noting that the latter provides the facility and the former occupies the building. She said she would make available the vision statement developed by the District Court. J. Protests Mr. Johnson thanked the council for its praise for the City's response to the tree protest, crediting Mr. Snyder and the Police Department for a job well-done, and adding that it was particularly meaningful because there were five protests in the same week at an abortion clinic, the rodeo, the circus, and against the Yugoslav war. K. Contingency Fund Request Mr. Meisner recalled that the council had approved a quarterly process for considering Contingency Fund requests and added that with the council's consent he will present a request from the City Club at the council's Minutes--Eugene City Council April 21, 1999 Page 2 5:30 p.m.
