M. Fiesta Latina <br /> <br />Mr. Meisner announced the Fiesta Latina event under the Washington/Jefferson Bridge on May <br />15 and 16. <br /> <br /> N. Recycling Plastic Silverware <br /> <br />Mr. Meisner asked the council to save its used plastic silverware for reuse by the Eugene Service <br />Station on Highway 99. <br /> <br /> O. Tree Ordinance <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor said she has asked for a work session on the tree ordinance and it was not reflected <br />on any of the council's future agendas. Mr. Laue asked to have the Planning Commission <br />included in the discussion. <br /> <br /> P. Speeding Motorists <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor said she was getting many calls suggesting speed humps to slow speeding motorists. <br />She said nothing slowed down traffic more than the sight of a police officer and suggested <br />random police speed checks. <br /> <br /> Q. Riverfront Research Park <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor said she hoped the council will reconsider its position on the Riverfront Research Park <br />given the amount of public input it has received since making its decision. <br /> <br /> R. Citywide Newsletter <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor said she previously suggested creating a citywide newsletter to distribute to <br />neighborhood associations and asked the council to consider it. Mr. Farr suggested selling <br />advertising space to cover the costs of producing the newsletter. Mr. Meisner said selling the <br />space is labor intensive so some neighborhood have organized themselves as nonprofits to <br />diffuse costs. <br /> <br />Mr. Johnson said he sensed sufficient interest to have staff develop options as part of the budget <br />process. Mr. Meisner asked for information on funding distributions to the neighborhood <br />associations. <br /> <br />S. Urban Transition Plan <br /> <br />Mr. Tollenaar asked to review the Urban Transition Plan, a complex set of intergovernmental agreements <br />entered into in the 1980s. He expressed concern that memories have faded and the context has changed, and <br />suggested recommitting to or changing the plan. <br /> <br />Mayor Torrey asked Mr. Tollenaar to work with staff to prepare the item for a council work session. <br /> <br />Ms. Swanson Gribskov said the council may want to time the item to include councilors-elect. <br /> <br />MINUTES--Eugene City Council May 6, 1998 Page 6 <br /> 11:30 a.m. <br /> <br /> <br />
