E. Eugene Celebration Parade <br /> <br /> Mr. Meisner suggested that the council not apply for participation in the Eugene Celebration <br /> Parade independently, but rather accept the Library groups' invitation to join them in the march. <br /> Mayor Torrey asked Mr. Meisner to consult council officers and make a recommendation. <br /> <br /> F. Funding Request--Fiesta Latina <br /> <br /> Mayor Torrey asked for council consensus to bring back a contingency fund request from Fiesta <br /> Latina organizers to offset public safety costs. The council concurred. <br /> <br /> G. Sister City Program <br /> <br /> Ms. Taylor expressed disappointment that the City is no longer involved with the Sister City <br /> Program and asked the council to reconsider. Mayor Torrey suggested she ask staff to come <br /> back with a proposal for council action after the summer break. <br /> <br /> H. Eugene Celebration <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor expressed disapproval that the Celebration's name has been changed and also that <br />an entry fee has been raised for political parade entries, adding that she believes this is <br />inconsistent with the principal of campaign finance reform. <br /> <br /> I. Cuthbert Amphitheater <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor said people are unhappy about the City's ban on bringing in outside food at the <br />Cuthbert Amphitheater and she believes it is inconsistent with the council's goal on building <br />community, both in neighborhoods and the broad community. <br /> <br /> J. Tree Ordinance <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor asked the council to revisit the tree ordinance and schedule a work session sooner <br />than later. <br /> <br /> K. BetheI-Danebo Community <br /> <br />Mr. Farr said this was a great day for the people of BetheI-Danebo, with the council's approval of <br />the library and parks proposals. <br /> <br />L. Council Committee on Homelessness and Youth <br /> <br />Mr. Fart announced a meeting of the Council Committee on Homelessness and Youth in the Conference <br />Room of the County Board's Chamber in the Public Service Building, following this meeting. <br /> <br />M. Fire Season Policy <br /> <br />Mr. Laue asked for an update on the City's fire season policy. Ms. Nathanson said she was also interested in a <br />report, specifically with grassy parts of the City and other fire risks. <br /> <br />MINUTES--Eugene City Council July 22, 1998 Page 8 <br />5:30 p.m. <br /> <br /> <br />
