I
:: September 27, 1971
I' Adjourned m~eting of the Common Council of the city of Eugene, Oregon was called to order by His
Honor Mayor Lester E. Anderson at 7:30 p.m. on September 27, 1971 in the Council Chamber, with the
following Councilmen present: Messrs. Teague, Mohr, Gribskov, Williams and Hershner; Mrs. Beal and
Mrs. Campbell. Mr. McDonald was absent.
i,
I, 1. PUBLIC HEARINGS
;! A. Rules of Conduct for Council Meetings
I, C.B. 9g03 - Adding to Eugene Code new section 4.727 (regarding distrubing or breaking up public
;:
I meetings or assemblies) and declaring an emergency, was submitted, and no councilman
I
e j: present requesting that it be read in full, was read the first time by council bill
" number only.
i, Res. 1971 - Amending Res. 1761 adopting by-laws governing proceedings and conduct of the Common
,I
I Council of the city of Eugene, Oregon, and adding Article V, was submitted.
I'
"
" .
I'
The City Attorney felt further specifics should be listed in Paragraph 3 of the ordinance,
.1 and revised Paragraph 5, which refers to taking of photographs in the Council Chamber.
Section 9 was added by the Council Committee after it met with news media and discussed
their concern that the rules might interfere with carrying out of their responsibility.
I City Attorney Arthur Johnson explained changes made in the ordinance and resolution, and
reasons for the changes. He commented that Paragraph 9 had been added at the suggestion
of the committee, and that it was his feeling that the news media was adequately covered
under Paragraph 3, and he questioned whether Paragraph 9 really attained anything.
1; To Councilwoman Beal the City Manager explained that several members of the news
media had proposed legislation which was discussed and revised at the committee meeting.
It was then proposed for Council consideration.
;, Mr. Hershner explained that, at the subcommittee meeting, it was felt Subsection A-3
" under Section 3 might limit the news media. For this reason, he was in favor of
addition of this provision.
Mr. Teague outlined the history of appointment of the committee and drafting of the
ordinance. He said the Council agreed a set of definite rules was needed to guide
public participation and to give the Council enforcement power. He explained the
ordinance and how it was written.
"
City Manager explained that, since the committee meeting, the City Attorney had
I' rewritten the ordinance.
I ,
,
"
City Attorney explained that the original draft of the ordinance was based upon
provisions of the present state statutes. The language is quite general and has broad
application. The new draft is much more specific regarding prohibited conduct.
Councilman Hershner commented that an "intentional" element had been added.
,. City Attorney said that the ordinance woilild better define "Willfully" by the addition
'I
e of the word "intentional."
Councilman Williams asked for further definition of the word "intentional".
Would
this change the meaning of the law?
City ktorney explained insertion of this word and his reasoning for including it.
There was further Council discussion of the ordinance and its relation to the previous
draft.
City Manager asked whether, in Subsection 1, other public bodies and official groups
,I might be included. City Attorney said the language could be broadened to include them.
Bill Beaton, 1828 Emerald, said proceedings which took place in the Council Chambers
last spring were not commendable. He thought some portions of the resolution were
agreeable, but he felt the Council should not pass it at this time, and should discuss
I it further. He was concerned about the small seating capacity of the Council Chamber
and urged the Council, when hearing items of extreme public interest, to meet in
another place. He also felt it was very restrictive to insist that persons speaking
give names and addresses. He felt too that there should be more restriction on
photographing in the Chambers.
Don Bishoff, Assistant City Editor, Register Guard, said an informal committee of the
news media had met with :theCouncil Committee. He .said the news media did not like
e to feel themselves in a ispecial class, but in order to tell the public what has gone
one, it is sometimes necessary to do things not permitted members of the general public.

The media had felt that Paragraph 9 was somewhat similar to the first amendment to the ;!
I; constitution. Mr. Bishoff commented that identification of news media could be covered I:
,I "
:1 by presentation of identification from the employers. :'
Beulah Wood, 2045 River View, felt there should be a means besides an ordinance ~o have
discussions with the public. She asked if any members of the public had input' into
" preparation of the ordinance. ;,
I:
I' Mayor Anderson outlined the procedure for drafting of an ordinance, public hearings
and final adoption.
Miss Wood had some further questions about the preparation of the ordinance and Council
procedures. She felt some terms of the ordinance were ambiguous, and that they should "
! be corrected.
Irene McDonald, 2715 Terrace View Drive, asked about Article 1, and felt the word
"intentional" might cause a great deal of difficulty, and that intent might be difficult e
" to prove.
. Mel McDerman, 3625 Willamette, asked if this ordinance had been widely phb.licized.
" He felt the public was entitled to know of its contents.
I,
Tim Told, 2045 River View, asked if there weren't other laws to govern this type of
conduct. He .did not feel the ordinance was necessary. He agreed order was necessary 1-
at council meetings, but he felt this was already covered by other laws.
'. Mayor Anderson agreed that there are such laws, and asked the City Attorney to give
background on reasoning for tThis ordinance. i:
City Attorney said there is a state law which prohibits willful disturbance or breaking
up of any assembly. This could be applied if there is no comparable city ordinance.
The proposed ordinance is more restrictive, and refers only to City Council meetings.
Councilman Mohr asked Miss Woods whether she felt ambiguous words should be deleted, or
I more clearly defined. He suggested a carefully drawn definition be inserted.
I' i ~
Miss Woods suggested the ordinance be drawn up in language so that people could under-
stand it.
Councilwoman Beal explained the meaning of Council meetings, reasons for holding them,
and why it was felt a code of conduct was required.
i Councilwoman Campbell felt the Council was trying to protect the needs of the public
I with this ordinance. At many meetings the Council had been intimidated until it felt
,
." it just couldn't take it any longer. That is the reason for the ordinance.
Councilman Williams explained that the Council sub,committee had 'met with the 'criminal
law committee for a discussion of the proposed ordinance and resoiliution. One of the 1
concerns expressed was that cities should not be making eriminal law, and if they
should, it should not be different from state law. For that reason, he objected to
" redraft of the original proposal.
:
" In answer to Mr. Mohr, Mr. Williams said he would agree to a time limit on the ordinance
and discuss criminal law as a whole at a later time. As far as adoption of the ordinance,
he would be in favor of adopting the original draft, since it conforms with state law.
In answer to Mrs. Campbell's question about the possibility of holding meetings in other e
': locations, Manager said the Fire Marshall has established a limit 'on the number of
persons who can be admitted to the chambers to co~ply with the Fire Code. The City
Charter provides the City Council may not hold official meetings except in the City
Hall. Th~ Council could hold a p~lic hearing in another mocation, but any official
;, action would have to be in the City Hall.
There was discussion concerning limitation of testimony, and whose decision this should
be. The resolution provides that the Council could overrule the Mayor, in the event
it did not concur with his decision.
Mr. Williams suggested that the Council adopt the original ordinance modeled after
state law, rather than the revised draft.
Mrs. Beal felt the new law would be less restrictive and with the insertion of new
words, would make it more difficult to get a conviction. I
Mr. Teague suggested, and Mr. Hershner agreed, thatperhFPs the committee should meet
again. There were some doubts about the amended proposal.
Mr. Hershner suggested that the words "intentionally" and "in a substantial manner"
I' be deleted. He could accept this ordinance if this was accomplished. Mr. Williams
would agree with this suggestion. He had been concerned with the word "substantiEtl."
Mr. Williams 'asked to be informed what the new Oregon State Law would be in 1972.
Attorney agreed to furnish a draft of the state code. e

I Councilwoman Beal suggested that the ordinance and resolution be passed separately. I
I
II Mayor Anderson said he was sorry that there was a need for such legislation, and
Ii assured citizens that their rights would not be violated and that they would have :i
'1
!I an opportunity to come before the Council. He ,said this legislation was not the !I
result of any single event, but of many disturbances and distractive behavior. II
11
;i II
A short break was taken. ;1
II II
Mr. Teague suggested that the ordinance be read with deletion of the words- II
\1 "
"intentionally" and "in a substantial manner." :1
Ii 'I
i'
City Manager suggested it might be desirable to add meetings of Planning Commission ,I
II and other official city bodies in official meetings. 'I
, II
I' I'
e 11 Mayor Anderson suggested that this be discussed at a later time. It might be possible i\
'I
II to establish bet~er identification.
" il
I;
il Mrs. Beal felt there was substantial agreement on the part of the Council regarding the II
I'
'( resolution and suggested action be taken on the resolution, leaving the Council II
II protected under state law until an ordinance could be drafted which met with Council 'jl
II approval. II
I il Mr. Teague moved seconded by Mr. Mohr that the bill be read the second time by council ;1
II
bill number only, with unanimous consent of the Council, with the suggested deletions,
[I and that enactment be considered at this time. All voted aye except Mrs. Beal who \
il I
11 voted no. The bill will be held over to the next Council meeting.
,
I
II City Manager called attention to the omission of Sections from Paragraph 3 of the !,
;1 final draft of the resolution, and said these had been inadvertently omitted from the :1
" il

,
II 1. Zone Change, Roger Bourland, from R-3 to C-2 (Recommended Denial) I
1\ ,I
1
II At a joint meeting, the Planning Commission and City Council considered the zone il
II change request of Roger Bourland to allow conversion of an existing warehouse to
II a print shop. Planning Commision had recommended denial of this request, and at !I
II this meeting affirmed the denial. Council has received copies of material pre-
iI ',\
I, pared by Mr. Neil Jongeward, representative of the petitioner. I'
I il 11
II Mr. Neil Jongeward, 2837 Morgan Court, read the report which had been submittee
!1 to the Council and reiterated comments made at previous meetings. He said it II
Ii was their opinion the PlanB~ng Commission had erred in denial of this applica- il
I tion, and that this property had been overlooked when the area was zoned in !I
II
"
if 1948.
'I
II j!
'I In answer to Councilman Mohr, the City Manager said that, since adjacent properties
]1 I
'I were zoned similarly to the request, it was the opinion of staff that this would I
e 11 I
.' not be considered spot zoning. As iJIar as Mr. Jongeward's contention that this ,
.' 'I
II property was overlooked when the area was zoned in 1948, there was no information :1
,:
I; to indicate whether this was or was not an oversight. This is an assumption "
i' II
Ii on the part of the petitioner. !I
I', "
!I II
i: Planning Director pointed out that this had been a non-conforming use of this "
I' "
I; property since rezoning was ,accomplished in 1948, and for that reason, the il
I'
,I business would have to be eliminated at a future date.
II "
II
'I II
II Mrs. Beal felt there was no possible use for the building, as it now stands, ,
Ii ;1
'I except as a warehouse. The only other use of the prop~rty would be residential, 'I
I; I
If and there was no room for parking or landscaping. She felt allowance of this "
I' use might upgrade the neighborhood. I,
,I :i
,;
(I There was further discussion of this nonconforming, use, and whether or not the
il
I il property had been overlooked.

ii II. Items to be considered with one motion, after discussion of individual items if requested._
Ii Items were previously discussed at committee meeting of September 15, 1971. Committee
r1 minutes are printed in italics.
;1 A. Emergency Employment Program - Mr. Mohr had requested a report on the progress
I'
,:1 of the Emergency Employment Program. .), report of the commi ttee work was submi tted
il to Council.
:i
i!
: ~
I' Lon Mills, City Personnel Director, said the Bureau of Labor had submitted the
I: I
:! recommendation for jobs to be filled, under the Emergency Employment Act, and these
!: will in turn be submitted to the Department of Employment, and hopefully will be
il filled within the next 30 days.
,:
Ii
Ii Mayor Anderson said he was involved in the initial stages of implementation I,
" of this act. The program was speedily adopted and funded by congress to reverse ;1
I'
I the unemployment trend and to fill some of the critical needs of local government. "
d
II Ii
Ii If -
Mr. Mills explained that the city is working with theState Department of Employment.
Ii A committee has been formed to allocate the money, with membership from the various
Ii local governmental bodies. The allocation of $109,000 must be used to employ I:
"
" persons residing within the city of Eugene, and the remainder of the allocation may "
"
I:
II be used to employ people living outside the City.
11
Ii Mr. Roger Dougherty said he represented Mrs. Ruth Shepherd of Emerald Empire Council
1:
Ii on Aging and HELP Organization, and that it was their impression that older workers
I: are included within the priority groups. He explained the work of their agency and
" solicited Council support.
Ii
Ii In answer to Mr. Mohr, Mr. Mills said the City has authority to deviate 10%, to
d adjust assignments established for allocation of funds. Beyond that, a request must
:i be submitted to the Bureau of Labor for approval.
:I
I:
I: Councilman Mohr commented that he is comrrrrtted as a lobbyist for senior citizens, 1,-
,I
I' and a priority should be established for unemployed senior citizens.
Ii
"
Ii
" Mayor Anderson said the Council is on record as being especially interested in
II
il the elderly through its Comrrrrttee on Aging.
II
Mrs. Campbell asked if the city had a mandatory age for retirement.
'I How would
!I this work in wi th the aged program. Are the age limi ts 45 to 65? Could the city
"
II work around the retirement age?
., e
"
"
d Mr. Mills said the city does not have a mandatory age for retirement, and has had

9/27/71
I people working beyond age 65. It has to be worked around the Public Employes
Retirement System.
In answer to Mrs. Beal, Mr. Mills read a schedule circulated by the Labor
Department which lists things which must be considered under this program.
Mr. Mohr felt there were many places where elderly could be'included under
this list. He moved, seconded by Mrs. Campbell that the City recognize the
need for employment opportunity for senior citizens and direct the adminisf
tration to develop a program establishing employment opportunities through
the EEA Program to place first, if possible, senior citizens on jobs in the
city.
Mr. Mohr added that this should be in addition to all programs the city is
concerned about.
e Mrs. Beal asked whether there would be any rules concerning employmento~
"-
women. Mayor Anderson ruled her out of order. She clarified that she was
concerned about employment of elderly women. Mrs. Beal moved seconded by
Mrs. Campbell to amend Mr. Mohr's motion to include especially women in
the age bracket included in his motion.
,City Manager asked if, by naming women, the city would not be.in violation
I of the Human Rights Ordinance. The motion would not preclude women, but
when women are segregated, it would seem the intent might violate the Human
Rights Ordinance.
Mayor Anderson suggested the motion for amendment be withdrawn and suggested
this could be discussed at the next meeting, after an interpretation from the
Legal Department.
Mrs. Beal withdrew her motion with the permission of her second, and with the
understanding it could be discussed some time in the future.
Mr. Williams asked if the motion was intended to give the senior citizen group
top priori ty, or whether it was intended to give this group a comrratment, as
well as others.
Mr. Mohr said he did not intend to exclude groups of people, but in looking at
the list, it had appeared to him only younger people were qualified for these jobs.
Mrs. Beal wondered if the motion wasn't as discriminatory as her amendment.
Mr. Mohr explained that his motion was simply to express a comrratment of the
Council to promote employment opportunities for seniors. It was not intended
to replace federal or state law, but expressed a commitment to the program.
I Mrs. Beal commented that she would like to vote to support Mr. Mohr's motion,
but she would have to vote against it, because she felt if one was discriminatory,
so too was the other.
Vote taken on motion. Mrs. Beal voted no. Motion carried. approve
B. Review of Central Business District Urban Renewal Project - Council had requested
a meeting with the Eugene Renewal Agency, and several members of, that Board were
e present at the meeting. Council members had toured the area, with Director of
the Agency Dave Hunt conducting the tour.
Mr. Frank Shearer, president of the Eugene Renewal Agency, said the mall phase
of the redevelopment plan had been completed for only seven months. Many problems
have been encountered, some of which were anticipated and some of which could not
have been anticipated. Not all the positive things hoped for have occurred,
but the picture is not pessimistic.
Mr. Shearer requested that Mr. Hunt explain the maps on the wall, and touch';-
lightly on the Eanebo Neighborhood Development Project.
Mr. David Hunt, Executive Director of the Renewal Agency, said the Mall is actually
a very small part of the Eugene Renewal Project. He delineated maps on the wall,
outlining areas of clearance, street improvement, and new sanitary and storm sewer
lines. He explained the remodeling and improvement of downtown buildings, and
I methods and, sources for funding and financing for relocation and remodeling.
Mr. Hunt pointed out a map which graphically showed the progress of the Danebo
Neighborhood project. He commented that it was proceeding extremely well.
Mr. Shearer commented that everyone on the Agency was quite gratified with the
progress of this project. On behalf of the~ gency, he presented to the city of
Eugene a deed for the park property in the Danebo Project.
e Mayor Anderson thanked Mr. Shearer and said the changes in that area were indeed

I, I
In answer to Mr. Gribskov, Mr. Hunt said the Agency likes to keep the properties II
Ii I'
occupied as long as possible before they are demolished. He demonstrated ;1
Ii
j: different buildings owned by the Agency, and explained how long they had been !:
Ii :'
"
"
leased to the tenants. "
"
': Mrs. Campbell asked about the policy for residential housing in the downtown
are~, preferably low income housing for aged in the downtown area. Are there any
plans for this, or are there none in the program.
Mr. Hunt explained that, in the plan as adopted, housing is not a permitted use.
At the time of planning, there was interest in putting housing downtown, but there "
,.
,
was no federal program of subsidized housing. To further answer Mrs. Campbell, ,
I' he said only the Council could change this policy.
~ I "
:i
Mrs. Campbell recommended that the Council give this serious consideration.
'I
The Planning Director commented that there had been plans for adjacent housing, ,
Ii but there were not enough funds for housing. The original plans and studies did e
"
I' include housing, and the plan could now be amended to include it.
I:
"
" Mr. Hunt agreed, that because of funding now available, it would be logical to
ii develop such housing, and he felt it could be very attractively done.
"
I; Mr. Mohr said he appreciated the view that had been expressed by the Agency. In " I
I' "
Ii the last 4 or 5 months the Council had been forced to legislate under a great deal :
Ii of pressure. It had heard the voices of doom and despair about the destruction
" of the downtown. He was concerned whether the Ci ty was now on the ri ght track.
,I
I, He felt the Council had been reassured at this time.
"
Ii ':
Ii I,
;1 Mr. Hunt said he felt they were indeed on the right track. Times have been tough,
'I
II and it is a little difficult to assess the situation.
'Il-
l! Shearer reminded those present that the Agency had planned that it would take
" Mr.
~ !
I: fi ve years for redevelopment. It has only been seven months, and even though "
il "
II miracles have not occurred, he did not think the plan should be changed.
"
I:
Ii Mrs. Campbell commented that an article in the newspaper had quoted Mr. Hunt's
Ii
d suggestion for an area for small businesses. She felt this would make the down- 'I
I' town more interesting for people. Mr. Hunt said the Agency had offered a parcel Ii
!I
" of land to develop a sort of "mini -center," where small businesses could afford 'I
1:
!i to operate. They are now considering use of a non-profit group for this operation.
Ii
': Mayor Anderson thanked members of the Agency for the tour and for their presentation.
I,
'I He felt the City would see a tremendous change in the downtown area in the next
Ii
II ,.4fj. ve y_ears, and that it woul d be an area for use of the communi ty, rather than a
'I rbtail center. He expressed confidence in opportunities downtown that would never
:'
again be seen. He suggested that the Council be kept informed and that such !
:i
meetings be scheduled periodically. " I
I'
"
Mr. Shearer commented that the Renewal Agency had a good staff, and invi ted Council :[
members, when things were "bugging" them, to come into the Agency and take advantage
of the information available to them.
City Manager was in complete agreement with the attitude of members of the Renewal
A~ency, and was optimistic and pleased with the way the program was going. He
emphasized that the city was not overlooking problems which are occurring and
which cause people to become upset. These problems are recogni zed and the ci ty e
is working with them individually, without in any way feeling discouraged about
the total project. Great progress has been made in sol ving some of the problems,
and further progress is anticipated in others. File
C. Minutes of the meeting of September 13, 1971, as circulated were approved.
Mr. Teague moved seconded by Mr. Mohr that items II A, Band C be approved and filed, as indicated.
Motion carried.

III. Items Not Previously Heard
A. Conditional Use Permit for Landfill on City Property - The Planning Commission,
at a recent meeting, approved land use request by Lane County which would allow
the County to continue use of the sanitary land fill in Day Island Road area,
including some property owned by the city. There has been no appeal to this I
condi tional use, but the agreement has been brought to the Council's attention
because some of the property is owned by the City, and should therefore have
Council approval. Details have been explained in former hearings. The Planning
Commission has suggested that the County consider recycl~ng, and has informed the ;:
County of its interest in solid waste disposal planning, and suggested that special
consideration be given to the possibility of power generating combustion as a
means of disposal.
There was discussion about the contract, and meaning of some of the sections and e
9/27/71 - 6

e 7a~
9/27/ n
I wording.
Mr. Teague moved that theCi ty adopt a conditional agreement, including the
Planning Commission recommendation regarding solid waste disposal and recycling;
Mr. Williams was concerned about the word "incorporated" and suggested that the
word be "considered."
City Manager felt this was the intent of the Planning Commission, and that the
word could be changed.
Mr. Bonnett, Planning Commissioner, said that the first part of the Planning
Commission recommendation was felt to be an essential part of the agreement.
Mr. Teague moved seconded by Mr. Mohr that the Council approve a conditional use
permi t for County use of City property for landfill, including the provisions
a. set forth by the Planning Commission, except that the word "incorporated" be
_ changed to "considered." Motion carried.
B. Liquor License Applications, approved by Police Department
1. DB - Allison I s Inc., 1166 Highway 99 North - Greater Privilege
2. RMBB - El Somrero Mexican Restaurant, 146 East 11th, - New Owner
I Mr. Teague moved seconded by Mr. Mohr that the above requests be approved.
Motion carried.
C. Request for Propane Burning on Airport Grass Seed Farms - Farmers leasing city
property held for use of the airport, can no longer burn their fields. They
have an opportunity to experiment with burning after removal of straw. The
ground would be seared with propane burners. Manager said it was his under-
standing such burning in areas where straw has been removed does not produce
objectionable air pollution.
Councilwoman Beal said it was her understanding propane burning did not create
too much air pollution. She suggested Lane Regional Air ~ollution Authority be
requested to make a recommendation, and she felt this could be done at staff
level, since there seems to be some urgency about it.
Mr. Teague moved seconded by Mr. Mohr that the Council grant this request,
subject to approval of the staff of Lane County Air Pollution Authority. Motion
carried.

COUNCIL BILL NO. 9585 - Concerming traffic and amending Sec. 5.005 of Code and declaring an

Eugene Code 1971 and declaring an emergency was submitted, and no councilman present requesting that
it be read in full, was read the first time by council bill number only.
This ordinance relates to licenses and bonds and has been submitted because of a requirement that
contractors file various bonds. The adoption of the new code included coverage for judgments because
of neglect and breach of contract and insurance or bonding companies have been refusing issuance of
bonds because of these phrases. They have suggested this section be written to exclude these require-
ments for a performance bond. The ordinance has been written to provide for a license bond which
stipulates that judgment can be made for nonconrormance with the code o~ requirements of other
governmental agencies, and providing for certificate of insurance instead of evidence of insurance,
and includes a provision for notification of cafucellation of insurance. Changes were made after dis-
cussion with representatives of various local trade groups, building inspector, city insurance agent
and city attorney.
