Helterline Term exp Januar~ 1, 1942 Mayor Large stated that inas,much as there were several people in the audienc that probably wanted to be heard on different subjects 'he would call for a special order of buisness and hear them at this time. Mr. Cranes Mathews of the 20-30 Club had with him a Street Marker he wished to have placed in the streets for the safety of school children during the hour~ the children come and go from school and asked for permission to have it installed at such schools as the School Board desired. City 4ttorney Calkins brought up the question of city liability in case this sign should get in the way of traffic and cause an accident, and he ruled that in a case of this kind, the city would be liable for damages. Mr. Mathews stated the club would furnish the markers to the school board free of charge and would take the responsibility f9r removing the signs from the streets at the proper times. Councilman Bond spoke in favor of allowing them to be put out provided the city would not be liable for damages. Councilman Barette thought there was one place where there might be a hazard on account of being knocked over and that was at 13th and Olive Street. Councilman Brownson stated he thought there was plenty' of need for the protection and they should be allowed to use the signs. Councilman Farring- ton spoke in favor of the signs and Councilman Hawn wanted to know if the school board could assume half of the liability in case of an accident. City Attorney Calkins explained again that there was no doubt in his mind but what the city would be liable in case of an accident resulting from these signs and stated he did not think the school board could lawfully accept any responsibility; further, he did not think, in ~ase of ~n accident, that they would be considered but the action woul be brought against the city. Motion was made and seconded that the school board be allowed to use these signs in streets and they should be placed wherever the school ~ board decided. The motion was unanimously carried. Dick Matteson of Lightning's Service, spoke regarding the construction of a proposed jail and said he would object very much to having it put any place on the city hall property. He thought if i,t was installed it would only be a temporary structure as he felt the property was too valuable a corner for the city hall to occupy much longer. Dr. W. B. Neal :said he wished to further express his thoughts as to the, jail being put on the city hall property. He said he had been hoping and praying i'lie city would not locatelit the jail at this place. He made reference to the commotion caused by the drunks when they were brought in and said it was very detri- mental to the health of the patients. Dr. P. J. Bartle said he was fearing that may e the council thought as long as the jail was on the property when the hospital was built, the hospital would have to abide by yvhatever the city might do. He stated that at the time they started to build the hospital, they took the matter up with Mayor Williamson and were promised that the jail was only temporary, that it was at that time unsanitary and would have to be removed. Mr. Marvin T. Warlick, Manager of the Eugene Hospital entered his objections to the jail being placed on the city property and explained that he had talked to two of the county commissioner and asked why the present plans to build the jail over there could not be continued. He stated that the city drunks were so filthy they could not be allowed with the other prisoners and he did not think that kind of people should be housed next to th hospital. The commissioners had told him the city could have whatever space on the county jail lot that they needed for the erection of a jail. Further, they had a kitchen in the jail and meals for the city prisoners would only cost sixteen cents. Mr. W. F. Taylor of Taylor's confectionery added his_protest to that of the hospital, against placing ~n the jail on the city property. He stated that when the jail was here before he had been awakened during the night in his room back of the confectionery by the noise of the drunk prisoners in, the jail and did not think this was a suitable place. A letter from G. V. Hasselrooth of the Willame te Street Market was read entering a protest against the jail being placed on the city hall lot. AI:?o a letter from ~ery D. Lake of the Eugene Granite and Marbl e Works was read protesting the erection of a jail being placed on the city hall lot. A motion was made by Councilman Brownson, seconded by Councilman Stewart that the jail be placed on the county property adjacent to the county jail. After considerable discussion by different members of the council, the motion was placed upon roll call. The councilmen voting aye: were: Koppe, Stewart, Brownson, Hawn and Pennington; oc nay: Bond, Farrington, and Barette. The motion was declared carried. Mr. R. G. Miller asked if it would be possible to check uD6n the street condition at 19th and Jefferson. He said the street was very rough there and he woul be willing to pay his share of expenses in fixing up the street and he was quite sure tl~t other property owners adjoining the street would be willing to pay their share. He had checked on this matter at the court house and the property there was assessed for having a graded and gravelled, street front. Mayor Large explained that later on when the weather was more settled the Street Department would probably be able to get to that and referred the matter to the Street Committee for a report 6' at the next meeting. ~ r450 , Jh" 4" -"'\+1': Councilman Farrington, Chairman of the Finance Committee, presented the property offers beginning with the offer of N.

He said the possible boundaries for the new site would be between High and Hilyard and 19th and 24th. Mayor Large then appointed the Finan e Committee to take this matter up with a committee from the school board and see what decision could be reached. Councilman Brownson again stated that he thought each councilman should familarize himself with the area and with the report that Mr. 21~Clubb had worked out for this tract. Councilman Stewart, Chairman of the l!'ire and Water Committee reported that the Water Board was laying an eight inch main on Lawrence Street and it had been necessary to use a couple of the new hydrants. 11e also reported that some time in April the Water Board would be laying a main on 8th Street from Pearl Street to the West City limits. Fire Chief Nusbaum had recommended that they put in new hydrants on,both Pearl and Oak Streets and stated that the old hydrants taken out at those two places could probably be usedsat some other place. Councilman Stewart reported this had about exhausted the supply of new hydrants and the city should order more of the Corey h~drants now being used. Councilman Brownson moved that six new Corey hydrants and valves be purchased. The motion was seconded by Councilman Hawn and 22 it was so ordered. I Councilman Stewart brought up the question of fire protection for industrial plants outside the city limits not associated with the rural fire districts and recommended the following change in his recommendation of January 13th (Par. 13): ~uote - "If the assessed valuation is such that two and one-half mills will produce $100 or more, then the contract is to be on the assessed valuation basis. If the assessed valuation is such that two and one-half mills will not produce $100, then the contract shall be on the dollar basis. These basic charges guarantee the contractor the following services: one call by the Eugene Fire Department any time during any part of the calendar year~ For any 'and all runs durigg that calendar ~ .1 /' ,/ ) ~ f ~. !J <' t'FeJ ~ '~ 453 - - - - - - - - - -.----------- --~-- -.--- I I I I I 23"" above the first run there shall be an additional charge of $20.00 per hour or fraction thereof per piece of equipment in service." end quote. Councilman Bond said he did not believe there was anything wrong with the recommendation that had already been approved and did not think it was right to put the companies to this extra expense. He explained that he did not think that large plants were as apt to have fires as the smaller plants on account of the facilities they had' for taking care of small fires. A motion was made by Councilman Brownson, seconded by Councilman Bond that the recommendation that had0already been passed should stand and this was unanimously carried by the members of the council. ~ Ai' ;~ A resolution transferring the Milk and Meat Inspector's Department from the City Engineer's Office to the Lane County Health Office was presented. An ordinance providing for rules and regulations of restaurant$ was presented, for the first reading and discussion was called for. Councilman Brownson addressed the council concerning. the resolution and the restaurant ordinance and said that the ordinance was one that was used by different cities allover the United States and it could be changed to meet whatever conditions might be necessary for the Eugene territory. He also said there were many reasons for wanting to move the Milk Inspector's Department from the Engineer(ts office to the City-County Health office at the Lane County Court House, and one of the first reasons was that the Engineer's office was much busier than it had been previously and that the Milk Inspector's work could not be handled properly through that office. He stated that the work which had been done by the Milk Inspector was pretty good but it did not go far enough, and reported that the city-county health office had a very comple e set up and he felt the work could be handled much better from that office. He explained that the city was not relinquishing any authority over the Milk Inspector by making this move. Regarding the proposed restaurant ordinance he said it was not the committee's intention at this time to set(Up a license fee for restaurant inspection. Councilman Farrington asked if it wouldn't be likely that a fee would be set up for this work which would be an additional tax on the restaurants. Counci- man Brownson explained they did not expect it at this time but it was possible that later on a fee of from $5.00 to $1~.00 per year might be necessary in order to carry on the work. At the present time" this was not contemplated as they were making investigations to see what should 'be done regarding food inspections and inspection of food handling. Councilman Bond wanted to know who would be Dr. Helterline's supervisor and Councilman Brownson explained that Dr. N. Paul E. Anderson at the present time would be the man in charge. A motion was made by Councilman Brownson, seconded by Councilman Pennington, that the resolution for the change in the office as read be adopted and the motion was carried. The ordinance concerning the restaur was held over for further consideration and the City Recorder was instructed to provide a copy of this ordinance for each councilman, the Mayor and the City Attorne 24( and these copies to be mailed out with the council minutes of this meeting. RES 0 L UTI 0 N BE IT RESOLVED that the office of the city Milk and , Meat Inspector of the City of Eugene as set up and provided for in the budget of 1941, be and hereby is transferred from the present quarters in the office of the City Engineer, City Hall to the office, of the City-County Health Office, Lane County Court House, Eugene, Oregon, and BE IT ALSO RESOLVED that the City Milk and Meat Inspector is hereafter under the direct supervision of the City-County Health Officer and shall submit to that officer a monthly report covering his daily operations in full. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the present Milk and Meat Inspector that in addition to his duties as such, shall perform sanitary inspections of food handling establishments of the City of Eugene. 25 A . " Co "'s . Councl1man Brownson reported he had recelved complalnts about ~ runnlng at large in the city and stated he did not believe any stock should be allowed to be ~ept inside of the city limits. He felt that if someone in the city thought they had to have a cow it should be kept outside of the city lUlits and he requested the ~he City Attorney to prepare such an ordinance for the next council meeting. . Councilman Bond said that he thought they should proceed very cautiOUSly along this I . !ine as by this process they might be taking milk away from chi~en who needed it , ~ery badly. Councilman Bond, Chairman of the Police Committee recommended the ~nstal!ation of north and south stop signs at the intersection of 13th and Olive Streets. Mayor Large asked him if he had considered such signs also at the inter- rection of 13th and Hilyard Streets and he said he thought that would be a good thing pouncilman Bond then made a motion that north and south stop signs be placed at ~oth of the 13th and Olive Street, and 13th and Hilyard Street intersections. The kotion was seconded by Councilman Stewariand unanimously approved. Councilman Bond ~lso stated he had received a request for a one or two hour parking limit on Oak Stre t II retween 5th and 6th Streets. This was an all day parking space just outside of the ~ ~454 -~ ~~, other limited-parking zone and the property ~lners there felt they should ~j have a limited parking space.

The appointment to become effective on Monday, March 17. The recommendation was unanimously approved. Councilman Barette asked if it wasn't a fact that the dog catcher last year had picked up a few dogs and spent the most of his time at the pound waiting for people to redeem the dogs. It was recommended that the dog catche should work the full time and for someone to take care of the pound. Upon motion this recommendation was unanimously approved. Councilman Brownson said he had received several calls regarding the dog catcher and it seemed to be the general opinion that there wasn't any satisfactory method worked out for handling the dog situation in the city. ,As he understood it, there w~s a humane society in Eugene which would be willing to use the funds that were collected for dog control and have a year round dog control officer and wanted to know what the rest of the councilmen thought of such a proposition. Councilman Farrington said he understood that severa people were trying to form a humane society but he felt the next'move should be up to the humane society to present a proposition to the council. It was pointed out that no request had been made of the council about the humane society. Council- man Barette said he thought Councilman Brownson had a good idea and something should be done. Councilman Brownson stated that he understood thestate and federal govenn- ments were making quite sizeable contributions to humane societies where they had been established and Portland and Medford were now benefiting by these contributions Councilman Bond said he thought the city had plenty to do without going out to _ look for things of this kind and that if the humane society had anything to offer 27 they should bring it to the council.

Councilman Bond wanted" the Recorder's Office to check very thoroughly to see that this ~icense M~X~~gEXEi for Wiloox was the same type of license as he had had before and upon making a check ...found it to be the same. Motion was made and seconded unanimously approving the 28 recommendations. Councilman Bond reported the city was almost out of stop street signs. He said the traffic painter had informed him stamped unpainted street signs could be purchased at about the same cost that the city is paying fo'r the sheet metal sign here in Eugene, and the painter felt he could paint these signs in his spare time and they would be much better than the signs we are having made here in Eugene. Motion was made by Councilman Bond, seconded by Councilman Brownson, that fifty of 29~these signs be purchased and the motion was carried. Councilman Bond reported receiving a request from the Eugene Hunt Club asking for permiSSion to place a banner across Willamette Street advertising the horse show they were going to have on April 5th and 6th.

Councilman Brownson thought the council should consider it at this time. Councilman Hawn stated he did not think that the levy as voted was sufficient to build a swimming pool that would be a credit to the community and he made a motion that this matter be laid on the table indefinitely, which motion was seconded by Councilman Barette. Councilman Bond said he did not like the word "indefinitely" as he thought the publi was entitled to some consideration 'in the matter. After some discussion, it was agreed that the motion should be changed to' read that the matter be held over for further study. Councilman Brownson pointed out that such study would require time and that probably nothing could be done to have a swimming pool fO.r this summer. Councilman Farrington pointed out that considerable time had already been put in on this and inspection of other swimming pools had been made. It seemed to be the general opinion that the money as voted was not smfficient to build an adequate swimming pool. Mayor Large pointed out that the council had already offered to turn the money over to the school board if they would take Charge of the swimming pool for the benefit of the children, it was the school board but so far they had refused to do anything about it. Mr. Fred Cuthbert was in the audience and Mayor Large asked him if he had any remarks to make about the seimming pool. He said he did not think the proposition was as complicated as some had tried to make out. One of the main things was the location of a site and he thought the proper place favored by most of the people wa.s on 19th Street in the Amazon District. It was pointed out to him that the levy for this year would not produce over $10,000. He referred to the pool at Dallas and remarked about the complete set-up that they had there. Councilman Hawn asked him if he knew how much that equipment had cost. He said he was not sure but he thought it was somewhere in the neighborhood of $60,000 or $70,000; that the building probably cost as much as the construction of the pool but it was in use only during the summer ti1;!1le. Councilman Farrington stated the pool in Portland cost about $30,000; no heat is furnished, and no towels or bathing suits furnished but there was no charge made. Mr. Cuthbert said he did not believe the people understood there would be only about $10,000 available for this year. Councilman Farrington pointed out that the district for the new high school building might have to be changed and that this would probably alter the location of the swimming pool until the other question had been settled. ~uestion was called for and the motion to hold the matter for further study was carried. Councilman Brownson said that a statement should be made to the public as coming from the council as to the amount of money that would be available for this year, and also an explanation of the situation as it now stands and 'it was so 49.... ordered.ai: ~ u'l "--J " ....:.~ F,;" ,~~" ~ Upon motion the council meeting adjourned. ~
