ATTACHMENT E <br />M I N U T E S <br /> <br /> <br />Eugene City Council <br />City Council Chamber—City Hall—777 Pearl Street <br />Eugene, Oregon <br /> <br /> November 9, 2009 <br /> 7:30 p.m. <br /> <br />COUNCILORS PRESENT: Alan Zelenka, Mike Clark, George Brown, Andrea Ortiz, George Poling, <br />Chris Pryor, Jennifer Solomon. <br /> <br />COUNCILORS ABSENT: Betty Taylor. <br /> <br />Her Honor Mayor Kitty Piercy called the meeting of the Eugene City Council to order. <br /> <br />1. PUBLIC FORUM <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy reviewed procedures for providing comments. <br /> <br />th <br />Dennis Gabrielson, <br />South 10 Street, Creswell, speaking as a City of Eugene employee, clarified for the <br />Budget Committee that many employees were opposed to the mandatory furlough and it was causing <br />productivity and morale issues. He questioned why a new manager position at the library had been created <br />if the City was in such dire financial straits and why programs such as the Sister City were being continued. <br />He said pet projects should be cut along with employees’ wages. In response to a question raised at the <br />Budget Committee meeting, he said that vesting changed from 10 years to five years in 1986. He hoped the <br />union won its grievance against the City for the maximum amount. <br /> <br />Alison Gregory <br />, Eugene, introduced Cub Scout Pack 402, members of which were attending the council <br />meeting to learn about their duties as citizens. She said the pack also took part in a national community <br />service project the previous weekend and collected food for local food banks. <br /> <br />th <br />Mike McCallum <br />, Garfield Street, Eugene, said he lived within a mile of Amazon Creek near 18 Avenue <br />and Chambers Street and was opposed to a proposed route for EmX along Amazon Creek. He said the area <br />was heavily used by the neighborhood and the cost of changing that use would be significant. The scale of <br />the EmX bus was huge compared to a pedestrian. He noted that not all trips and public transportation were <br />destined for downtown Eugene and most people did not work there. He suggested routing the EmX <br />Westside system from Broadway and Garfield Street into the core of Eugene and using that location as a <br />hub to connect to other transportation. He said that would retain the Amazon Creek corridor, and some day <br />the value of that waterfront property would be recognized. He hoped the Amazon Creek route would be <br />taken out of consideration in the planning process. <br /> <br />Branden Rishel <br />, Garfield Place, Eugene, spoke in support of car-sharing. He had recently moved from <br />Victoria, B.C., where a similar arrangement was in place with local municipalities. He said there were <br />seven car-sharing agreements in place and each car served about 40 members, and surveys indicated that <br />about half of the members decided to stop owning a car or purchase a car because of the car-share program. <br />He said that car-sharing benefited developers, neighborhoods and the surrounding community. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council November 9, 2009 Page 1 <br />
