COMMITTEE REPORTS AND ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM MAYOR, CITY <br /> COUNCIL, AND CITY MANAGER <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy reported she had a wonderful experience at the Sundance Summit on Climate Protection. <br />The purpose of the summit was to discuss the causes and solutions to global wanning and identify tools <br />and actions for meeting emission reduction targets. Event sponsors included Local Governments for <br />Sustainability, actor and activist Robert Redford, and Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson. She noted <br />that 45 mayors from around the country attended and they heard excellent presentations and interesting <br />ideas for adaptation to the local community which she would share with the council in the future. <br /> <br />Mr. Poling reported he recently attended a meeting at the Garden Way Church about the formation of a <br />local improvement district (LID) on Arcadia Street. The meeting was a first step in the process. Staff <br />shared three proposed ways of developing the street as a starting point for discussion, and would next poll <br />property owners regarding their interest in participating in the LID. That response would dictate the next <br />steps. <br /> <br /> Mr. Poling called the council's attention to an event scheduled for July 20 at 7 p.m. at the Spiritual <br /> Growth Center about the traffic calming proposals for Sorrell Way. <br /> <br /> Ms. Taylor said the City's Web site was more difficult to access and council information more difficult <br /> for people to find. <br /> <br /> Ms. Taylor shared a constituent complaint about the fact there was no longer an ambulance at Fire Station <br /> 5. She asked who made that decision, and how it could be changed. <br /> <br /> Ms. Taylor expressed concern about the fact Amazon Pool would be closed to the public to accommodate <br /> a swim meet the following week. <br /> <br /> Ms. Taylor reported that the Lane Regional Air Pollution Agency (LRAPA) had an interim director who <br /> was a former operations manager from the Department of Environmental Quality, and everyone seemed <br /> happy about him. <br /> <br /> MINUTES--Eugene City Council July 18, 2005 Page 1 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br /> <br />
