Mr. Hough had also created a committee in <br />Oakridge to oversee wood stove change outs. As result, 700 Oakridge residents had received new heating <br />systems. Councilor Ortiz also reported that the Public Safety Coordinating Council’s Juvenile Justice <br />Committee heard a presentation on street gangs at its most recent meeting and discussed doing a <br />community scan to assess the scope of the problem.

He said he had attended the recent National League of Cities convention in <br />Phoenix and visited the nearby City of Peoria’s wastewater treatment plant and learned that all its <br />discharge was clean water placed directly back into the aquifer. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy thanked City Manager Ruiz for his work on the Welcome Home Vet Build Project. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy adjourned the meeting at 9 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Beth Forrest <br />City Recorder <br /> <br /> <br />(Recorded by Kimberly Young) <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council November 14, 2011 Page 7 <br /> Regular Meeting <br />
