on a parks funding measure, Ms. Bettman indicated she would like to see some firm numbers associated <br />with the committee's proposal and how that would impact a potential bond measure for a civic center and <br />the impact of compression. In addition, she would like information about the increased cost of operations <br />and how that would impact the library, for example. <br /> <br />Mr. Poling noted his attendance at a recent performance of "Miss Saigon" and thanked IATSE members for <br />the work they do. <br /> <br />Speaking to the issue of housing standards, Mr. Poling indicated his interest in more information and <br />thanked Ms. Nathanson for offering the council a motion to hold a work session on a date certain, allowing <br />staff to get more information and the council to hear from more members of the public. He said such a <br />program would need mediation and arbitration as well, and hoped to hear more about those topics at the <br />work session. <br /> <br />Mayor Torrey called for a five-minute break. Ms. Nathanson left during the break. <br /> <br />3. CONSENT CALENDAR <br /> <br /> A.

PUBLIC HEARING: <br /> An Ordinance Concerning the Downtown Area; and Proposed Amendments to Sections 3.344, <br /> 4.871, and 4.872 of the Eugene Code, 1971 <br /> <br />Mr. Taylor said that Police Chief Bob Lehner had, at his request, revisited the ordinance after consulting <br />with community groups. Chief Lehner was present to discuss the proposed changes. He described the <br />department's meeting with a community coalition that included the Bill of Rights Defense Committee and <br />the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), saying the end result were changes limited to two areas: 1) the <br />definition of commercial gatherings; 2) and the removal of the permit requirement for noncommercial <br />gatherings of more than 25.
