<br />Mr. Pape said that he would like to know if a fire response issue in Mr. Poling's ward had been resolved. <br />Mr. Taylor informed him that there had been several meetings with representatives from the Harlow <br />neighborhood. Mr. Pape asked for a memorandum or e-mail informing the council of the final resolution. <br /> <br />Mr. Pape said that the sister city trip was wonderful and he encouraged other councilors to participate in <br />one if given the opportunity. He said that he looked forward to reporting on the trip on November 14. He <br />mentioned that the visit to Holt International had been a special part of the trip. <br /> <br />City Manager Dennis Taylor said that being awarded the 2008 Olympic Trials was huge for Eugene. He <br />acknowledged the cooperative effort made by the City, University of Oregon, Tzbaco, the Oregon Track <br />Club, and Lane County. He particularly acknowledged Angel Jones, the Executive Director of the <br />Department of Library, Recreation and Cultural Services, and her staff for their outstanding work on this <br />project. He said that while this event would take a lot of work, it was the kind of work that would build <br />on the great track tradition in Eugene. Ms. Piercy noted that it was in keeping with the theme of "Art and <br />the Outdoors." <br /> <br />City Manager Taylor joined with the mayor in thanking the Rotary Club for bringing over 1 00 people to <br />work on River Play. He said that Discovery Village was constructed as well as benches, picnic tables, <br />bike racks, and swing sets. Many trees and shrubs were planted. He said that it was a great community <br />effort. <br /> <br />City Manager Taylor noted that he provided the councilors with a memorandum about the first Ballot <br />Measure 37 claim brought to the City. He said that the details of the claim would be brought before the <br />council with a subsequent discussion scheduled for November 14. He said that staff was working to <br />evaluate and process the claim according to the ordinance. Mr. Pape said that he would like to have a <br />memorandum from the City Attorney on Measure 37 now that it had been invalidated by the Marion <br />County Circuit Court. City Attorney Glenn Klein said that a confidential memorandum had been sent out <br />and would be resent to those councilors who did not receive it the first time. <br /> <br />MINUTES-Eugene City Council <br />Work Session <br /> <br />October 24, 2005 <br /> <br />Page 3 <br />
