individuals. She noted the outreach she planned to do to new and returning students about such issues. <br />Mr. Poling called attention to an error in the media calendar, saying the Harlow Neighborhood Associa- <br />tion would have an Executive Committee meeting, not a general meeting on September 30. <br />Mr. Poling reported he had recently attended a meeting of the Board of Directors of Travel Lane County <br />and heard a presentation about Kesey Enterprises' success in increasing ticket sales for events at the <br />Cuthbert Amphitheater. He noted that Kesey Enterprises had just received another five -year contract to <br />manage the amphitheater. Mr. Poling said the Travel Lane County's chief executive officer Kari <br />Westlund was evaluated by the board and received high remarks. He commended the work of Ms. <br />Westlund. Mr. Poling also reported that Eugene would host the Governor's Conference on Tourism <br />scheduled for April 10 -11, 2011. <br />Mr. Poling indicated he would meet September 30 with residents of Sandy Drive and Eric Jones of the <br />Public Works Department regarding the condition of Sandy Drive at the Methodist Church at Oakway and <br />Cal Young roads. <br />Mr. Poling called attention to some postcards the council had received regarding budget reductions <br />potentially affecting St. Vincent de Paul and asked for more information, as he was unaware of the <br />situation. <br />Mr. Poling thanked Eugene Police Department officers and officers from supporting police agencies for <br />their response to the West University Neighborhood situation. He reported he had attended Food for Lane <br />County's `Empty Bowls" charity auction with Ms. Ortiz. He regretted he had been unable to attend the <br />LOC Conference because of the conflict created by other obligations. <br />Speaking to Mr. Poling's question about the postcards the council had received, Ms. Solomon reported the <br />Human Services Commission (HSC) was rebalancing its priorities, and concern about that effort might be <br />the source of the postcards. <br />Ms. Solomon reported that she recently attended a meeting of the Public Safety Coordinating Council. <br />She had also chaperoned a third -grade field trip to Alton Baker Park where participants were able to view <br />the Talking Stones. <br />Mr. Brown reported on the most recent Police Commission meeting, saying the Use of Force Subcommit- <br />tee presented revisions to policies 306 and 308 and voted 5:4 to support the continuation of the Downtown <br />Public Safety Zone (DPSZ) after considerable discussion. <br />Mr. Brown reported that he also attended the last Civilian Review Board (CRB) meeting and said Police <br />Chief Pete Kerns, Police Auditor Mark Gissiner, and the CRB all agreed that the attack of a police dog on <br />a homeowner rather than the burglar he was confronting was not within policy. He had also attended the <br />recent Human Rights Commission meeting. <br />Mr. Brown noted that he had attended the United Day of Caring event and worked the mayor and other <br />councilors to clean debris and clear blackberries at Alton Baker Park. <br />Mr. Brown recommended that people view the exhibit currently at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum on the <br />UO campus, "Giuseppe Vasi's Rome." <br />MINUTES— Eugene City Council September 27, 2010 Page 2 <br />Work Session <br />
