<br />ATTACHMENT D <br /> <br />M I N U T E S <br /> <br /> <br />City Council <br />Council Chamber—Eugene City Hall <br />777 Pearl Street—Eugene, Oregon <br /> <br /> October 18, 2010 <br /> 7:30 p.m. <br /> <br />COUNCILORS PRESENT: Alan Zelenka, Mike Clark, Betty Taylor, Jennifer Solomon, George <br /> Poling, Chris Pryor, George Brown. <br /> <br />ABSENT: Andrea Ortiz. <br /> <br /> <br />Her Honor Mayor Kitty Piercy called the regular meeting of the Eugene City Council to order. She wished <br />Councilor Mike Clark and City Manager Jon Ruiz a Happy Birthday. <br /> <br />1. PUBLIC HEARING: <br /> An Ordinance Concerning Personal Property Sale Procedures <br /> <br />City Manager Ruiz introduced the topic. He said the proposed ordinance amendment was necessary to <br />reflect changes to the Oregon Revised Statutes related to the posting and publishing of found property prior <br />to sale. The ordinance would reduce the City’s costs by 75 percent. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy opened the public hearing. There being no requests to speak, she closed the public hearing. <br /> <br />2. PUBLIC HEARING: <br />An Ordinance Concerning Citation Authority of University of Oregon Department of Public <br />Safety <br /> <br />City Manager Ruiz said the public hearing regarded amendments to Eugene Code Section 4.035 that <br />provided citation authority to University of Oregon Department of Public Safety (UODPS) officers to <br />enforce sections of the Eugene Code. The proposed amendment would allow UODPS officers to issue <br />citations when the officer had a probable cause to believe that the person to be cited committed a violation <br />on property owned or leased by the University of Oregon. The ordinance did not extend other new policing <br />authority to UODPS officers. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy opened the public hearing. <br /> <br />th <br />Carolyn McDermed <br />, 2141 East 15 Avenue, asked the council to approve the ordinance as a “technical <br />fix” that allowed UODPS officers to use the statutory authority they already possessed to issue citations <br />under the Eugene Municipal Code. She said the authority granted by the City to the UODPS in November <br />2009 had reduced the duplication of workload between the Eugene Police Department (EPD) and UODPS <br />and had streamlined law enforcement on campus. UODPS officers had more time to spend proactively <br />patrolling the campus and developing trust-based policing practices with those who used the campus. The <br />ordinance would allow UODPS officers to conduct investigations of lower level quality of life crimes, <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—City Council October 18, 2010 Page 1 <br /> Public Hearing <br /> <br />
