Councilor Kelly suggested a motion to divide would be in order but indicated willingness to vote if that was acknowledged. City Attorney Jerome Lidz concurred. Roll call vote; the amendment to the motion passed, 6:2; Councilor Bettman and Councilor Taylor voting no. Roll call vote; the amended motion passed unanimously, 8:0. 4. ACTION: An Ordinance Concerning Used Merchandise Dealers, and Amending Sections 4.989 and 4.990 of the Eugene Code, 1971 Councilor Solomon, seconded by Councilor Ortiz, moved that the council adopt Council Bill 4916, an ordinance concerning used merchandise dealers. Councilor Papé expressed appreciation for Attachment C and determined from City Manager Taylor that the department would absorb the expense. The council could consider an expanded proposal in the fiscal year 2007 budget if it did not fund the program as proposed. Councilor Papé acknowledged that he was likely the only councilor with a concern about the issue. Councilor Bettman supported the motion, noting she received a request from a constituent related to antique stores, and her interpretation of the ordinance was that they were not included. In response, Detective Bob Holland said he spoke to antique dealer Penny Dolan, and the regulated property identified would exclude a major part of her concern, which was furniture, antiques and knickknacks. The department’s concern was about the buying and selling of jewelry. Ms. Dolan seemed satisfied with that answer. Councilor Ortiz determined from Captain Elvia Williams that Lane County would take action on February 15, followed by action by Springfield. Councilor Ortiz indicated support for the ordinance. Responding to a question from Councilor Bettman, Captain Williams indicated the City would pay the administrative costs of the system and Lane County and Springfield would pay for their own detectives. Roll call vote; the motion passed unanimously, 8:0. Mayor Piercy called for a brief meeting break. 5.
