Councilor Taylor appreciated the work of the students on the housing standards issue. She felt the subject <br />of housing standards to be very important. She advocated for taking action that affected the University of <br />Oregon campus during the school year. <br /> <br />Councilor Meisner joined his colleagues in thanking Capt. Buchanan for his service. He was proud to have <br />worked with him. <br /> <br />Councilor Meisner expressed his support for making housing standards a high priority. He also thought, <br />given the slowness of the ordinance and ordinance revision process, public hearings would likely take place <br />during the school year. He opined that having the work session in June might have actually moved action <br />on the issue up. He felt that it was not the housing standards per se that were of greatest concern, but <br />rather how enforcement would occur. He noted that there had been flurry of phone messages and emails in <br />the last several weeks, adding that prior to this activity, he had received one complaint in seven years <br />regarding housing standards. <br /> <br />Councilor Poling congratulated Capt. Buchanan on a job well done. <br /> <br />Councilor Poling thanked Mr. Hansen for bringing housing standards to his attention. He thought the <br />discussion would focus on developing a program to facilitate action on substandard housing. He noted that <br />he had been a poor student in substandard housing at one point in his life. <br /> <br />Mayor Torrey described one of the first houses he and his wife had rented, noting that it was a refurbished <br />garage and without heat. He opined that Councilor Nathanson's motion had been the most expedient way <br />to handle the issue. <br /> <br />Mayor Torrey asked Ms. Melton to call his office and ensure that she, as student body president, was <br />included on the list of interested parties. He supported holding hearings when all affected parties would be <br />in attendance, i.e., during the school year. He stressed that all people were heard at the Public Forum, <br />adding that this was the first time he had seen so many University of Oregon students in the Council <br />Chamber. <br /> <br />Mayor Torrey stated that he had seen a great deal of student participation one other time, when the After- <br />School Initiative was being voted upon. He credited the students for being part of the momentum that <br />passed the initiative. <br /> <br />3. CONSENT CALENDAR <br /> <br /> A.
