Mr. Lee asked staff to reconvene the committee to review the report on the Youth Summer Program before it comes before the council. Mr. Johnson said that was the intent. Mayor Torrey noted that he has been invited to discuss youth issues at a conference in Salt Lake City. L. Accessibility Report Mr. Lee said the Human Rights Commission was in the process of developing an annual report card to analyze social inequity in the community. M. Tree City, USA Flags Ms. Nathanson thanked staff for displaying "Tree City, USA" flags at the Eugene Celebration Parade, adding that she was proud that the City has received this award for 19 consecutive years. N. Sister City Memorabilia Display Ms. Nathanson said she has suggested to staff a permanent public display at the airport or some other public place of the Sister City Program memorabilia collection. O. Nodal Development Ms. Nathanson expressed disappointment that the vicinity of Churchill High School (the intersection of 18th Avenue and Bailey Hill Road) was not included in the TransPlan update as a designated mode. She said the area has promising characteristics and could be a true node and asked staff to rethink the development in the area. P. Sidewalk Program Ms. Nathanson said a constituent has reported an incomplete sidewalk on Roosevelt Boulevard and asked for an update of the City's Sidewalk Completion Program. Q. Use of Contingency Fund Mr. Tollenaar reminded the council that it had asked for a work session to develop policy for use of the Contingency Fund. Mr. Johnson said the item was scheduled for council discussion on October 21. R. Legal Services Mr. Tollenaar said he is still interested in discussing establishing a small in-house legal staff to manage a small "basket of services" and provide oversight of the legal services contracted out.
