concept was in communication to avoid several proposals being advanced and competing for the <br />same funds. Mr. Johnson said he will make sure the Museum Directors Association gets a copy <br />of the Wetlands Education Center description. <br />J. Rate of Growth <br /> <br />Citing the importance of growth management, Ms. Nathanson asked if it were possible to analyze <br />the rate of growth in each of the council wards. Mr. Johnson said he believed it was possible to <br />produce such a report. <br /> <br />K. Library Workshop <br /> <br />Mr. Meisner announced a library workshop scheduled for May 18 at the First Methodist Church <br />south of the Library, adding that floor plans will be available for review. <br /> <br />L. Planning Field Trip <br /> <br />Mr. Meisner expressed great interest in a field trip to Portland to view various developing <br />patterns, particularly in housing and wondered if there was any interest on the council. The <br />council was interested, particularly if it was a train trip. Planning and Development Department <br />Director Paul Farmer will follow up. <br /> <br />Mayor Torrey arrived at the meeting. <br /> <br /> III. ACTION: CONSIDERATION OF CONTINGENCY ACCOUNT FUNDING <br /> REQUEST--EUGENE CITY CLUB <br /> <br />Mr. Meisner said the request from the Eugene City Club would fund the effort to complete a <br />history of Eugene anthology project. He indicated that the current anthology goes through 1950 <br />and much growth and change has happened since then. He acknowledged the presence of City <br />Club officers to answer questions. <br /> <br />Ms. Nathanson wondered if it might be possible to guarantee a group purchase of a specific <br />amount of the anthologies as part of the request. The anthologies would make great gifts to other <br />governments and agencies, e.g., visiting delegations from sister cities. <br /> <br /> Ms. Nathanson moved, seconded by Mr. Farr, to authorize the expenditure of <br /> $5,000 from the contingency fund for the History of Eugene Anthology <br /> project. The motion passed unanimously, 7:0. <br /> <br /> IV.
