MINUTES <br /> <br /> Eugene City Council <br /> Regular Meeting <br /> Council Chamber--City Hall <br /> <br /> April 12, 2004 <br /> 7:30 p.m. <br /> <br />COUNCILORS PRESENT: Gary Papd, David Kelly, Betty Taylor, Bonny Bettman, George Poling, <br /> Jennifer Solomon. <br /> <br />COUNCILORS ABSENT: Scott Meisner, Nancy Nathanson. <br /> <br />His Honor Mayor James D. Torrey called the meeting of the Eugene City Council to order. <br /> <br />1. PUBLIC FORUM <br /> <br />Mayor Torrey explained the rules for the Public Forum. Noting that there were 31 people signed up to <br />speak, he requested a motion from the Council President to extend the time allotted for it. <br /> <br /> Councilor Bettman, seconded by Councilor Poling, moved to extend the Public <br /> Forum to one hour, and to allow each person two minutes of testimony. Roll call <br /> vote; the motion passed unanimously, 6:0. <br /> <br />Mayor Torrey explained that councilors Nathanson and Meisner were absent due to illness. <br /> <br />Gary Nauta, 88139 Keola Lane, Springfield, president of the International Association of Firefighters <br />local, said he provided his testimony and further information in writing. He spoke on the proposed <br />privatization of fire protection services at the Eugene Airport. He asserted the only beneficiary of such <br />privatization would be the airlines, and not the City or its citizens, as they pay for the fire service with <br />landing fees. He related that staff felt high landing fees might reduce airline interest. He countered that <br />airlines had recovered somewhat from the tragedy of September 11,2001, with increased routes through <br />Eugene and the City's successful bid to attract Delta Airlines. He opined there was no danger of losing <br />airline routes due to landing fees. He thought the issue should have come before the City Council a year <br />earlier. He requested the work session on this issue be moved to April 21 or May 19, preferably the <br />former, rather than in June as scheduled. <br /> <br />Jon Pincus, 590 West 12th Avenue #5, spoke regarding the building located adjacent to the WOW Hall at <br />865 West 8th Avenue. He noted that WOW Hall staff and supporters had spoken to the City Council about <br />this building at a previous meeting. He said the building was in good structural condition and would not <br />require further fire and safety upgrades. He commented that this would dramatically reduce the cost of <br />redevelopment. He asked the council to consider allowing the WOW Hall to utilize the building and <br />possibly purchase some of the surrounding property in order to provide a buffer to the WOW Hall. <br /> <br />MINUTES--Eugene City Council April 12, 2004 Page 1 <br /> Regular Meeting <br /> <br /> <br />
