iii. ITEMS FROM THE MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL, AND CITY MANAGER <br /> <br />A. Library <br /> <br />Mr. Tollenaar asked the council to provide direction for the Council Committee on Finance (CCF) on the <br />maximum indebtedness for the library. The council chose not to have the CCF do additional work on the <br />item. Mr. Meisner noted that the library committee's final public forum was that evening, followed by three <br />committee meetings in the next three weeks to complete a plan. <br /> <br />B. Measures/Election Dates <br /> <br />Ms. Nathanson said she would be absent for the next two meetings and gave input on election dates, saying <br />she is concerned with election dates and measures likely to be referred. She emphasized that it was more <br />important to take steps in the right direction than go nowhere at all, whether it is a library proposal for two or <br />three stand-alone branches that ended up being too big for an operating levy two years from now or a parks <br />proposal that people cannot afford because it acquired all the open space. She agreed with Ms. Swanson <br />Gribskov that it was better to have a series of wins. <br /> <br /> C. Car Camp <br /> <br />Ms. Nathanson said the issue of a car camp kept coming up and she was reminded that homelessness is not <br />just a Eugene problem. She wondered if now was the time to leverage support in the Public Safety <br />Coordinating Council and other venues where the City might be negotiating coordination of services. <br /> <br />Mr. Meisner said one of the things of interest to him was that when a car camp was discussed the council <br />talked of staffing it. He wondered if there were a way of combining the notion of allowing people to camp in <br />their cars in industrial sections of town and a car camp without the City having to provide for social services <br />staffing. <br /> <br />Mr. Johnson said the issue will be scheduled for council discussion in the near future. <br /> <br />D. Agenda Items <br /> <br />Mr. Lee mentioned the following items for a future council agenda: neighborhood newsletters; the <br />Immigration and Naturalization Services raid; and the St. Vincent de Paul funding issue. <br /> <br /> IV. ADJOURN <br /> <br />The meeting adjourned at 1:38 p.m. <br /> <br />Minutes--Eugene City Council May 20, 1998 Page 9 <br /> 11:30 a.m. <br /> <br /> <br />
