a decrease in density. Mr. Björklund pointed out that was existing code language. Ms. Bettman repeated <br />that she would still like for it to be changed. <br /> <br /> Mr. Poling moved, seconded by Ms. Solomon, to direct the City Manager to prepare a <br /> revised ordinance for City Council consideration on November 14, 2005. <br /> <br />Mr. Kelly said that while he understood Mr. Papé’s concerns about the complexity of the issue, he thought <br />that his questions could be answered at the meeting at which action was scheduled, and he would support the <br />motion. <br /> <br />Mr. Papé asked how much time would be allocated to the topic on November 14. City Manager Taylor said <br />that it would be the time that it took for the council to dispose of the issue. Mr. Papé asked if consideration <br />of the ordinance could be placed early in the agenda. City Manager Taylor said that it could. He acknowl- <br />edged it was a complex issue and that it was important to do it properly. He noted, however, that there were <br />virtually no protections in place and that it would be important to move forward with the protections <br />recommended. <br /> <br />Mr. Poling said he would not be available for the November 14 meeting. City Manager Taylor said that he <br />thought that all of the requested language changes would be ready and out to the council before the meeting. <br />He said that Mr. Poling could request that the council not consider the ordinance at that meeting if he <br />intended to vote on it. <br /> <br />Ms. Solomon said that as well as amendment language, she would like to see a staff response as to what <br />each amendment would mean if it was passed. City Manager Taylor said that draft language, staff analysis, <br />and a recommendation would be provided for every intended motion dealing with the ordinance that had <br />come in advance to the meeting. <br /> <br /> The motion passed, 7:1; Mr. Papé voting no. <br /> <br />City Manager Taylor encouraged councilors to submit intended motions by October 28 in order to allow for <br />a more elaborate staff response. <br /> <br /> <br />C. WORK SESSION: Annual Meeting with the Human Rights Commission <br /> <br /> <br />City Manager Taylor said that after spending time talking about natural resource protection it was time to <br />turn to a discussion of human resource protection. He said he looked forward to the meeting every year and <br />the opportunity to review the annual report and work plan for the Human Rights Commission (HRC). He <br />said that the HRC was a very hard working group which put a lot of important issues before the community, <br />the City, and the City Council. He introduced Greg Rikhoff, Manager of the Human Rights Program, Sarah <br />Rich, outgoing chair of the HRC, and Carmen Urbina, incoming chair. A copy of the Human Rights <br />Program Annual Report and Work Plan was provided to each councilor. <br /> <br />Ms. Rich introduced other HRC commissioners who were in attendance: Hugh Massengill, Surendra <br />Subramani, Jer McGowan, and Misa Joo. Ms. Urbina said that the presentation would consist of a review <br />of the past year and a review of the 2005/06 Work Plan. She asked Mr. Massengill to report on the Human <br />Rights Accessibility Committee (HRAC). <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council October 24, 2005 Page 9 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br />
