Councilor Clark ascertained from Ms. Wilson that the PSCCs had been created through Senate Bill 1145. <br />He wished they could get rid of the bill because it also made anyone sentenced to less than a year, serve in <br />the county jail rather than in state prisons, which placed a burden on the County. He said Ms. Wilson had <br />done the “yeoman’s work” for him to determine that the City could not revocate the bill without paying back <br />the money the area had received for the PSCC over the years. He understood that the bill would provide <br />grant monies if the PSCC found ways to collaborate inter-jurisdictionally and to that end he would support <br />the bill. <br /> <br />Councilor Poling echoed Councilor Clark’s comments. He said in the lean times ahead and in the face of the <br />crumbling public safety community that existed in Lane County, any money they could get that would help <br />them work together to “put band-aids on the bleeding system” should be supported. <br /> <br />Roll call vote; the motion passed, 7:1; Councilor Taylor voting in opposition. <br /> <br />Councilor Zelenka related that at a breakfast meeting with the legislative delegation they had talked about <br />the firefighter “cancer” bill on which the City had adopted a Neutral position. He wanted Ms. Wilson to <br />bring this back before the CCIGR. Ms. Wilson responded that the bill had come back before the CCIGR <br />during the February 4 meeting and had changed the position to Support by a unanimous vote. <br /> <br />The meeting adjourned at 8:40 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Jon Ruiz <br />City Manager <br /> <br />(Recorded by Ruth Atcherson) <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council February 9, 2009 Page 10 <br /> Regular Meeting <br />
