Ms. Ortiz was pleased that the Trainsong neighborhood association, with the assistance of grant funding from <br />Health Policy Research Northwest, had been reactivated. <br />Mr. Kinnison, responding to a request from Mr. Brown, briefly noted the primary differences between the NEI <br />Action Plan and the Strategic Neighborhood Action Plans (SNAPs) and suggested that Mr. Brown attend the <br />December 2 Neighborhood Services workshop in the Bascom- Tykeson Room of the Eugene Public Library for <br />more detailed information in that regard. <br />Mr. Clark was concerned that certain neighborhoods had a tendency to print opinions and sometimes even blatant <br />falsehoods as facts and asked how the Neighborhood Services program planned to address the conflicts created by <br />such misrepresentations. He further noted that such matters might present serious liability issues for the City and <br />asked which entities were most likely to be named in any lawsuits involving the neighborhood associations. Mr. <br />Klein noted that, while it was generally unclear as to what legal interpretations might be used, courts would most <br />likely hold the newsletter authors or publishers most responsible for any instances of slander, libel or misrepresen- <br />tation. <br />Mr. Zelenka asked why the Fairmount Neighbors association had been prohibited by the City from putting up a <br />welcome sign for the University of Oregon's arena project in that area. Mr. Kinnison replied that he would <br />investigate the matter and get back to the council with more information. <br />Mr. Zelenka hoped that a shorter council work session format would allow the Neighborhood Services program <br />representatives to provide more frequent information and updates on the program. <br />Mr. Zelenka noted from his travels that Eugene's neighborhood associations had served as a good example to many <br />other communities across the country. <br />Ms. Medary thanked Mr. Kinnison, Ms. Kane, Ms. Clarke and their associates. Ms. Medary also introduced Park <br />Operations Manager Kevin Finney and noted that he would be filling in as Interim Sustainability Manager for the <br />City. <br />Mr. Kinnison noted several neighborhood organization participants in attendance at the meeting including Jan <br />Wostmann, Steven Adair, Majeska Seese -Green and Coleen Riley and noted that they had all made significant <br />contributions to various neighborhood efforts. <br />Mr. Zelenka adjourned the meeting at 1:45 p.m. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Jon Ruiz <br />City Manager <br />(Recorded by Wade Hicks) <br />MINUTES Eugene City Council November 18, 2409 Page 7 <br />Work Session <br />
