Councilor Taylor thanked everyone who spoke. She appreciated Ms. Berg-Caldwell’s activism “all of these <br />years.” She averred that Ms. Berg-Caldwell was a good example of “citizens watching the public process.” <br />She added that she wanted to hear the rest of what Mr. Collins wanted to say. She also wished to clarify <br />that the public hearing Mr. Vishanoff brought up was not a City Council hearing. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy stated that the infant mortality rate that had been written about in the newspaper was a county <br />issue and one that had been identified. She noted that she served on the Commission for Children and <br />Families and this was an important topic for them. She commented that they could point to Lane County <br />Public Health, which like all public health departments was in need of an infusion of support. She felt Lane <br />County was huge and a vast amount of it was rural, making it difficult for people to access services. She <br />said it was something they needed to work on. <br /> <br /> <br />2. CONSENT CALENDAR <br />A.
