Interim Appointment to the Human Rights Commission <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy stated that the majority of the Consent Calendar had been passed during the preceding Work <br />Session. She noted that Items C, E, and F had been deferred. <br /> <br />Councilor Zelenka thought the projects that had been submitted for Neighborhood Matching Grants were <br />worthy but a couple of them seemed like they were school projects, as opposed to neighborhood projects. <br />He wondered what the criteria was, noting that all of the projects had been proposed by neighborhood <br />groups. <br /> <br />Cindy Clarke, with the Neighborhood Services Division of the Planning and Development Department <br />(PDD), stated that the funds to be allocated for projects on school grounds was consistent with Resolution <br />No. 4632, established in the year 2000. She stated that the resolution specifically identified school site <br />councils as eligible applicants. She related that the grants had funded ten school projects since then. <br /> <br />Councilor Clark noted that one project had been the restoration of Spring Creek in Santa Clara, a project <br />initiated by the Santa Clara Community Organization and on e that had been featured in the Register Guard. <br />He related that the money was going predominantly toward the trees and native plants for the children and <br />the community members to plant, as well as the educational process around it. He considered it to be a <br />fantastic effort. <br /> <br />City Attorney Glenn Klein pointed out that given that the rest of the Consent Calendar had already been <br />passed, the individual items pulled from it would require separate motions. <br /> <br />Councilor Zelenka, seconded by Councilor Clark, moved to direct the City Manager to fund <br />the FY09 Neighborhood Matching Grant proposals as recommended by the department ad- <br />visory committee. Roll call vote; the motion passed unanimously, 8:0. <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council April 13, 2009 Page 10 <br /> Regular Meeting <br /> <br />
