II - ITEMS CONSIDERED WITH ONE MOTION Items previously discussed at committee meetings April 26, 1972 (Present: Mayor Anderson; Councilmen Mohr, Beal, Williams, Hershner, Campbell, and Bradshaw) and May 3, 1972 (Present: Mayor Anderson; Councilmen Mohr, Beal, Teague,' Williams, Hersher, Campbell, and Bradshaw). Minutes of those committee meetings appear below printed in italics: A. Proposed Auditorium/Convention Center - Don Derickson, vice president of the Associa- tion, said a plan for an auditorium/convention center had been decided upon which would fall within the guidelines given by the Council. The Association recommended approval of "Plan A" and submission of a bond issue not to exceed $5.5 million to the voters at the November 19'12 general election. John Amundson, architect, distributed copies of a written summary of the proposed plan to Council members and displayed contents of the c~nter with a graphic map. The plan calls for acquisition of Eugene Renewal Agency property between 6th and 7th, Olive and Oak, at an estimated cost of $585,000. The first phase of the project, which will utilize the block west of Willamette and retain the block east of Willamette for parking to accommodate about 346 cars, envisions three levels composed of Auditorium-concert hall, arena hall, meeting rooms, dressing rooms, rehearsal hall, gallery, theatre restaurant. It encompasses 148,000 square feet on the various levels at a to~ cost of $8,354,000. An overpass could be con- structed spanning Wi11amette street at some future time offering the possibility of developing the block east of Willamette with one- or two-level parking structure with a convention pavilion. Jack Jarvis, economic feasibility consultant, said of the four plans reviewed the one presented was felt to be the best from financial viewpoint and use, including employment generation. He said the center is expected to produce $47,000 annually during the first six years and to generate 180 to 190 new jobs Mich would not be generated through normal growth or duplicated through other types of activities. Ed Ragozzino said the plan as presented meets the approval of the Auditorium Association. It provides for parking which, on. a 4 to 1 ratio, would provide space for about 1360 people almost on the site. It retains the quality of a commUnity oriented center, provides for possible future expansion, ~d defines a realistic funding plan - bond issue, Renewal Agency funds, Economic Development funds, and private fund drive. Mr. Ragozzino said the Association and architects are ready to go ahead within the budget contemplated upon the Council's approval of the first phase. He said the Association has funds available to proceed with more complete design and whatever is necessary to bring it to the public information stage. Mrs. Campbell questioned the figure for acquisition of the site, saying she thought originally it would be about $1 million. Mr. Amundson replied that the most recent estimate is the $585,000 figure. Mrs. Beal asked if the jobs expected to be generated are in operation of the facility, and whether rent-free rooms are contemplated for general community Mr. Jarvis replied that there would be about 20 jobs directly connected with use. the /;fj:' 5/8/72 - 1 complex, the balance would reach across the entire spectrum of the economy - restaurants, taxis, motels and hotels, retail trade. There will be no rent-free rooms, he said, however, there will be certain public and non-commercial activi- ties to whom the facilities will be available at a reduced rate. In answer to Coun9ilman Hershner, Mr. Jarvis said the restaurant is included in the plan as a complimentary and re-enforcing feature of the center's operation as a whole, not merely to produce income. . Councilman williams asked about the $600,000 listed as part of the funding from the Eugen~ Renewal Agency and whether this has been discussed with the Agency. Mr. Amundson said because the site is within the downtown renewal project bo~ndary, the Renewal Agency can, make peripheral improvements plus installation of any needed new' utili tiesiri- pubii..c' right-of-way; hence, these were projected as a part of ERA cos t . Kim Haggadone asked the Council to withhold approval of the concept to allow input from a segment of the public which he said has not had an opportunity to partici7 pate in the planning of the center. .He suggested use of the Johnson Furniture Store building in the block east of Willamette Street for a community culturaJ center to accommodate especially a farmers market and various other organizations which will be removed from the redevelopment area. Mike Sprague asked for consideration of large rooms in the center for use of other than convention-type activitiesr such as weekend retreats, work shops, etc. He suggested provision ,for use of bicycles for transportation rather than cars. "., . Councilman Mohr said the Council does not enter into the designing process., He wonde,red whether initiation of a series of meetings, or publi,c.l:1earings w.9uld"e!l~ . ' .. . , able more of the public to enter into planning so, far as .use of .the center is' concerned, and asked how the Association mad~ its' decisions on use~ of the various elements of the center. Mr., Amundson replied there were meetings with various groups having interest in the center, but it is desirable to contact as many people as possible for suggestions of uses to make it truly a community center. '. Mayor Anderson remarked that so far as physical aspects of the facility are con- cerned the plan presented reflects the desires of the community, the Association, and the Council, and rather than overturn work to this poirt it would seem best to proceed wi th the second phase of the project which is to determine how best it ca~ be used by all ~,t.J1e people. wi th regard to Mr. Haggadone' s remark about removal of various groups from the renewal area without consideration, Mr. Anderson said he feels Eugene is ahead 'of most cities with respect to programs for the po0r and aged. He said under ERA policies there is money available for relocating the businesses which would be displaced by the facility. Malcolm Burke, 344 East 14th Avenue, said he realizes the work already put into the project, but that, he would like to add features to accommodate "people like himself. " Mrs. Beal remarked on the "community" concept of the proposed plan and said uses could be arranged to accommodate -the aged and invalid, as well as provisions for bicycle traffic, after completion of the planning stage. . Councilman Williams remarked on the current progrqrn in progress on c~mm~ity , , '. .' .. _ ~. I. . I > center at Amazon Park, and said Federal requirements clearly designate that people displaced by Federally-funded projects must be provid~c1 wi -th . qther h,?using. Mr. Haggadone referred to use of the block eas-t of Willamette for parking in com- parison -to -the need of those organiza-tions which he said will not be able -to pay the rentals contemplated for use of rooms in the center. He said there should~ be some addi-tional facili-ty for activities such as the Switchboard and the Shelter House which find it difficult to exist with the funds available to -them. He also said he doesn't see anything being done for -these activi-ties under the social goals :j.isted for the downtown area. Councilman Mohr said he was not suggesting public hearings for -the purpose of re- designing the concept, but was suggesting a method for determining allocation of space in the cen-ter. In answer to his question, Mr. Amundson said all of the space has not'been designed, but all of it has been, committed according to a space program supporting one or another of the functions of the center. . Mr. Williams moved seconded by Mrs. Campbell that the Council endorse the concept of the plan presented by the Lane Auditorium Association, and direct the Associa- tion to proceed with design studies that could be used in justifying and en-. couraging public support for a portion of (a capital funds bond issue which will be allocated to) an auditorium convention center which will fit in with the capital funds bond issue intended for presentation to the voters at the November general election. Id3 5/8/72 - 2 .. . . ~. " Mrs. Beal asked whether a motion is necessary if the matter is going to public hearing. Mayor Anqerson replied that a motion puts the Council on record approv- ing the concept presented and will not subject that to further debate. A vote was taken on the motion as stated (correction made at Council meeting of May 8, 1972 - see below) and motion carried unanimously. Mr. Ragozzino asked the Council's thoughts with regard to timing for an election on a bond issue for the project. Mayor Anderson said Council members feel it is better to wait the outcome of the vote on the County income tax proposal be-, fore scheduling another revenue measure. He said they will proceed as soon as possible after the May 23 primary. In answer to Mr. Sprague's question, Mayor Anderson said the Council has approved the concept only of the auditorium/convention center, and that when the architect bring back design studies, then will be the time. t9 suggest changes or addi tions., Comm Approve 4/26/72 I I Kim 'Haggadane, 1392 Willamette, asked that cansideratian be given to use af .ttle Jahnsan Furniture Campany building as a center far thase peaple who. prabably will nat use the pra- pased performing arts center, i.e., the elderly, law-incame, and yaung peaple. He said he feels a large segment, af the cammuni ty has been left aut of the planning in the dawntawn area and that ance the auditarium is installed the remaining develapment af the dawntawn will be carried thraugh withaut cansideratian af activities and groups ather than thase cantained in the Assaciatian's prapasal. Mike Sprague, 231 East 12th Avenue, asked cansideratian far arganizatians which cannat find lacatians far their services because af lack af maney. He also. expressed the apinian that lacal artists shauld be given the appartunity af praviding decarative featuresaf the audi- 'tarium, and that the restaurant wauld be a "business man's" place, nat far all the peaple. He suggested the camplex shauld have rent-free space available far meetingsaf bath small and large graups and that the restaurant be eliminated altagether ar aperated an a law- price structure. Mr. Sprague cammented favarably on the prapased bicycle rautes and parking. Mayar Andersan reminded the audience that the purpase af this hearing is cansideratian af the cancept presented, and that when architect's plans are braught back changes may be suggested at that time. Catherine Lauris, 124-0 East 18th Avenue, member af the Audi tarium. Assa,ciatian, said the intent at this time is to. obtain autharity far first design studies to. enable presentatian af a band issue to. the voters this fall. She said the Assaciatian is still very much interested in re- ceiving recammendatians and wauld cansider additianal suggestians at any time - they cauld be presented to. her ar to the' Manager's affice far forwarding to. the architects. Mayar Andersan said the Audi tarium Assaciatian was engage.d by the Cq).lIlcil to. make recammendatians an ,an auditariumlcanventian center, and that to. facilita:,te:.Plans any ideas prabably shauld be di- rected to. the Auditarium Assaciatian: , Ken Meyer, 30 West 27th Avenue, suggested the entire praject be scrapped, saying there is no. need far it and that the maney cauld be used far ather services desperately needed. Cauncilman Mahr said the Cauncil's actian wauld be to. ask the Associatian to. praceed with de- sign and at a later time decide what wauld be submitted to. the vaters. He said it shauld be emphasized that the design include facilities which will maximize the self-supparting feature af the camplex. Cauncilman Williams said he had no. abjection to. including that in the cam- mittee matian. He also. asked that the matian state the Assaciatian be directed to. praceed wi th a design which could be used to. justify publ~c suppart far that partian af "a capital funds band issue that wauld, be allocated to." an auditarium/ canventian center. (It was agreed the cammittee matian be amended to. read: Mr. Williams, maved secanded by Mrs. Campbell that the Cauncil endarse the cancept af the plan presented by the Lane Auditarium Assaciatian, maximizing the self-supparting nature af the camplex, and direct the Assaciation to. proceed with design stud~es that caUld be used in justifying and encauraging public suppart far a partian af a capital funds band issue which will bB allocated to. an audi- tarium/canventian center which will fit in with the capital funds band issue intended far presentatian to. the vaters at the Navember general electian.) B. Skinner's Butte Beautification - Gary Hedden, speaking for an Environmental Pro- jects group, showed slides of the top of Skinner's I!utte and suggested several ways in which the area could, be made more attractive. He asked the Council to go on record in support of some long-range development for the ,top of, the Butte, perhaps over a ten-year period, and to include $5,000 in the City budget to make a start on projects such as irrigation, landscaping, tree planting. He said the group he represents is a volunteer citizens group which is willing to participate. They suggest general clean up of the area, ,re~oval of the "0" and "E" installa- tions, removal of the old reservoir, landscaping, tree planting or at least irri- gation on the south slope, relocation of the road,s, removal of the police radio antenna, and sprucing up of the observation area. {JJj 5/8/72 - 3 r In response to Mrs. Campbell, the' Parks Director said efforts of this group could at least start a program of making the Butte more attracti ve, but that e~en wi th budgeted funds it would be far down on the priority list. He said quite a bit can be "done without 'major investment, and that development of some long-range plan would appear to be desirable. Mayor Anderson asked if there is some degree, of permanence to the citizens group in the event anything is authorized. Mr. Hedden said there are ten to twelve active members in the group, and it is fel t a iarger number is available to make up' an active work force, but that nothing in that respect can 'be' guaranteed: Mr., Anderson suggested formal organization of the group as a non-profit corporation to' ensure acceptance of responsibility for the continuation of any long-range program. Mrs. Beal moved seconded by Mrs. Campbell to request the 'Parks Department to work with the, Environmental Projects group, including other people with other skills, to make reasonable attempts in formulating a long-range plan for beautification of Skinner's Butte, making full use of co1unteer help for any immediate pl~. Motion carried unanimously. ' C. Appointmen't, Sign Code Board of Appeals - Mayor Anderson announced f'lppointment, of Mrs. Robert Glass, 2186 University Street, to the Sign Code Board of Appeals for the three-year term ending January 1., 1975. D. Leave of Absence, Williams - Councilman Williams asked ror permission to be absent from, Council meetings on May 22 and June 12, 1972. Mr. Teague moved ,seconded by Mr. Hershner to grant leave of absence. Motion carried unanimously. E. Report'-'Neighborhood Quality pz,-oject, Mayor's Social-'Goa1s'Co'mmittee - Copies of the report, prepared by a subcomndttee of the Mayor's Social 'Goals Committee, were previously distributed to Council members. Mrs. Nancy Hayward, former Council- woman and chairman of the Goals Comndttee, outlined procedure for establishing goals of'the committee whereby four subcommittees (task fo'r'ces) were' created to study the community and make recommendations with regard to particular areas of concern. One of these subcommi ttees, under the chairmanship of Neil Murray,- con- cerned with the right of citizens to equal treatment prepared the proposal for a neighborhoo~ q~?lity project. . Comm Approve 4/26/72 Comm Approve 4/26/72 Comm Approve 5/3/72 . Mr. Murray said the area selected for the projec,t, is bounded by 7th and 13th, Charrwers and Lincoln. It was ,chosen because of ,the ,high density of older 'citizens,' 1.ow-i'ncome housing, alul reJ(l1;a1?:", anq. high incidence of delinquency. He, said advantage~ of the neighborhood are its proximity to the commercial area, diversity, of popu1ati~n (old- young; rich-poor), represent'ati ve mixture of types ot housing, qua1i.ty 'of the neigh- borhood in comparison to tract housing. Disadvantages are the constant threat of commercialization because of C-2 zoning and resulting speculative buying of prop- erties zoned C-2 but still used for residential purposes; underdeveloped recreptional facilities; number of traffic arterials rqnning through' the area; projected heavy trc;tffic which will result in noise and air pollution and mak~ it more. difficult for residents to walk tp,the commercial area. . Mr. Murray said the ne~ghborhood is at the point ,now' of~deterioration~ not,deliperate- ly, btit' because of lack of co-ordination and planning., He said there is very, little" neighborhood involvement. The subcommittee proposal, he said, gives the Council the opportunity to reverse the trend toward deterioration by preserving housing within walking distance of the downtown area. He asked the Council to direct the Planning staff to make a feasibility study in co-operation with the subcommittee and set a dea1ine when that study is to be brought back to the Cou~ci1 with a de- tailed plan. , , In response to Councilman Mohr, Mr. Murray said there is no formally organized group working within the neighborhood but the, subcommittee has been in contact with several people there who are interested in the ideas outlined in the program, and Mr. Murray feels a group can easi1 y be organi zed. ' Manager said the only question raised by staff is one of priorities, staff time, costs, etc. In the neighborhood analysis process used in qualifying for various HUD funded programs to determine which neighborhoods need first attention, the area immediately north of the one selected by the subcommittee was found to be first (area starting with 6th to the River between Lincoln and Blair). Discussion has been held with Eugene Renewal Agency with regard to desirability of filing an application for p1arlning funds to determine kinds of things that neighborhood will need to preserve it. He suggested adding this area to that proposed by the Goals Committee 'and asked authority to work with'them as well as a group from the area to the north to determine the kind of staff time and money needed with the idea that Federal planning funds may be available. IdS' . 5/8/72 - 4 Mrs. Campbell moved seconded by Mrs. Beal, to direct th,e Planning staff to make a feasibility study on the equal treatment in the area between the.Willamette River and 13th Avenue from Lincoln to Champers and to work in co-operation with the Mayor's Social Goals COmrrUttee. . Mr. Murray suggested the motion contain a deadline for completion of the study. Manager said more information is necessary in order to set a deadline. Councilman Williams said there are a n~er of Joint Housing Committee recommendations for research projects ant;icipated and it is important to consider priorities before a decision is made 'on which is to be funded. It was understood this motion is to direct the staff to make preliminary review and recommend an outline for imple- mentatio~ of a program. . ' Michael Sprague commented favorably on the proposal wi th regard to including the neighborhood to the north and including citizens of the neighborhoods in the planning stage. Vote was taken on the motion as stated, and motion carried unanimously. Comm Approve 513172 Mayor Anderson expressed appreciation to the subcommittee for its presentation and to Mrs: Hayward for her, work as chairman of the Social Goals Committee. . F. Antidisc:dmination Affidavit re: Liquor License Applicants - Human Rights Commis- sion recommended adoption of a resolution which would require filing of an affidavit by applicants for liquor licenses within the City before the Council would recommend approval of the license. The affidavit states the applicant has no membership re- quirement or employment practice based on racial discrimination. Robert' Edwards, 'chairman of the Commission, explained that the recommendation asks for provision of maximum equal opportunity to all citizens as guaranteed by the present ordinance. He said there are minority problems concerning service and em- ployment for minority people in social clubs and that the affidavit would be a positive step,to~ard making the needed changes. He referred to the recently created Governor~s Human Rights Commission which was directed to work on minority problems in the area of social clubs. The Council was asked to direct the committee ap- . pointed to review the Eugene Black Community Survey to work with the Commission's, subcommittee on, private clubs in reviewing the affidavit proposal. Mrs. Campbell asked whether the Commission is including the County in its request with the idea that simultaneous work will avoid duplication of effort later. Mr. Edwards said that is outside the Commission's jurisdictirn.but there are other. groups who will work with the County. He said if the Commission is so directed, they would be willing to do that. . Mrs. Beal questioned the exclusion of sex from the affidavit. Mr. Edwards said the Commission feels it would be better to work on the racial aspects first because of bylaw requirements of most private clubs. They feel it would be easier to con- sider one thing at a time. Mr. Mohr moved seconded by Mr,' Bra~shaw to refer the item to the subcommittee ap- pointed for review of the Bl~ck Community Survey. Mr., Williams, chairman of the subcommitt;ee, said the policy might well be broadened to include other areas of discrimination. Mrs. Beal suggested, amendment of the " affidavit to include".. . and sex...." Mr. Teague suggested staff review of the re- quest. Manager said it is assumed if the matter is referred to the committee staff will have the opportuni ty to provide its thinking prior to submission of a report to . the Counci-l. Mr. Teague\) asked if the staff input would be slJch that those people r~quired to file affidavits under the proposal will have .achance to appear. Manager said .be- fore action is, taken by the Council there will be public hearing. He confirmed Mrs. Campbell's statement that Administrative Assistant Lewis Peters meets with the Commission. . . Mayor Anderson ~aid' the committee would broaden as much as possible the basis of the affidavit in answer to Mr. Sprague's suggestd.'on that religion be included. Vote was taken 6n the motion as stated, and motion carried unanimously.

Eugene Renewal Agency, said community-wide use can be made of Federal Neighborhood Development P':Eoject funds. ,.The action program' differs from the conventional urban renewal projects in that annual approval of expendi tures and performance is required for the action programs. The current project in the State Streets area is virtually completed, ab~ut all 'that remains is administrativ€;l phasing out. Mr. Hunt said he is, not certain Federal planning funds can be obtained under, this program, r~ferring to the suggested considera- , tion of the northcentral area as a project area, but the idea of a community.pro- gram to determine,priorities would give a better indication. of which funding, wouEd apply. He said the Federal people have indicated'$500,dOo will 'be avail- abl,e, whi ch is more than needed to complete the Danebo project. Tpe possib.:j.li ty of using those funds for the area defined in the Social Goals Committee project will be investigated. . Mr. Hunt distributed to Council members copies of a summary of activities in, the Damebo Neighborhood Development Project and explained in detail the work done in that area and the proposed budget for the coming year. He said the $30,000 in- cluded as a City budget item will be for additional work in the park within the project area. The grant application provides fqr $134,000 from the Federal govern- ment and for $206,000 loan. The loan comprises primarily land inventory carried forward and financed until sold. He said the Agency is desirous of closing out the project this year; there is no change in plans for the area and no publi c ,hearing is required. He as~ed C;o un ci 1 , s apprqvaL of the budget as presented, required by Federal regulations. Mr. Hunt said the Agency would work with City staff on the possibility of obtain- ing planning funds for the area immediately west of the central business district. However, the Agency is concerned because of limi ted resources and the obvious long- range need for funding if work is started on an action program in< that area. ',.- '- Councilman Bradshaw asked where the responsibility lies for solution of problems created by the renewal programs such as the need for mass transit. He said thE! State Streets area is now more or less isolated and PE!ople have no way of getting to commercial or recreational areas. Mr. Hunt said the nature of the action pro-, gram is such that it will create othe$roblems because 'funds are not available to the Agency for expenditure for some of the things wl?ich are tied in with renewal. He said part of the contract with the City and Planning staff was to work with the Transit District on problems created by inqreqsed volume of traffic. Mr. Mohr asked whether work done by the City in improv:ing Bqrger Dr.i,ve and provid- ing pedestrian and bj,cyqle paths cquld be credited against another prqject. Mr. Hunt said work has to be within or adjacent to the project area., HUD regulations set a definite legal boundary within which work for credit is to be performed. Manager said the staff ~s now working on a report for the Council tfith regard to better pedestrian and bicycle transportation in that area. Councilman Mohr asked if the Agency could do other types of.planning for the balance of the year if the Danebo project is closed out. Mr. Hunt replied that the Agency feels it should be looking at the whole area around the central business dis- trict from the University to downtown and f:r;om Jefferson north to t,he River. How:ever; it is not certain money can be obtained under the Neighborhood-Development Prograin. He said there are programs. providing 100% of funds for in-depth planning and ,there may be a chance to' encourage Federal funding.of a planning project in Eugene. He said the Danebo Neighborhood Development Program is an "action" program wherein actual renewal work is accomplished and planning funds are not i,ncluded. . Mrs'. Beal asked if further development is already planned for the next action year. Mr. Hunt said the Agency will work with the Planning Commission on the northcentral area, but they have funds for only two years and it is certain that work in the northcentral section would go beyond that length of'time. After more ,deta,il is available through neighborho.od analysis, he said, he will check to see, if planning funds can be included in the Neighborhood Development Program or Community Renewal Plan grants. Mr. Tea,gue moved seconded by Mrs. Beal to approve the ,application as presented. Motion carried unanimously. Comm Approve 5/3/72 H. RideStop Proposal -, Planning commission recommended approval of concept of the proposed supplementary transportation system for the metropolitan area. Copies of a report prepared by the Urban Planning [)epartment of th,e university of Oregon. were distributed to Council members. Marvin Gloege, advisor f.rom the Urban, Plan- ning Department, said the proposal is based on hitchhiki,ng and provides for a . system of stations and sign~ lpcated at points along arterial routes pear ~~udent population concentrations (University of Oregon and Lane Community College) where . Id7 5/8/72 - 6 . students can wait for rides with ease of identification of riders and motorists. He said the concept has received endorsement from Springfiel,d Cuncil and Planning Commission, Lane Mass Transit Board, and the LCOG Planning Advisory Committe~. He asked the Council's 'endorsement for implementation of the Program within Eugene. He pointed out the experimental nature of the proposal providing an opportunity to re-evaluate the program On i'ts initial performance. William DeCour, Department of Urban Planning, cited the advantages in that the program would provide for increasing the area within which students may live and reduce the number of automobiles and related traffic and parking congestion. He said it would be of particular benefit to Springfield students and students at- tending the Community College. Lane Brown, Department of Architecture, showed a map of the proposed routes and loca- tions of stations or signs taking into consideration need for leaving and entering traffic flow. He displayed a model of the structures to be used for waiting sta- tions and said the use of structure or sign will be determined by the zone in which it is located. . Dena Wild, Department of Urban Planning, said the group worked with the Mass Transit District to avoid overlapping of services and to minimize patronage duplication. She said the program is of an experimental nature, and they are re- questing permission only for implementation through removal of a maximum of two parking places at station locations. She said the RideStop organization will be responsible for the construction and maintenance of the structures and signs and for moni toring the program. The ASUO has pledged funds for staff and maintenance during the experimental stage, and other funds will be solicited from civic groups and from the ASUO and LCC for permanent operation. Councilman Williams asked about the City's liability for permitting or encouraging this type of obstruction of traffic, and for incidents which may result from picking up riders, cflrs being stolen, etc. Ms. Wild said they were advised the City would not be liable once a rider is picked up. Should anything happen as a result of placement of signs, then the RideStop organization would be the ~ftgligent party. Mr. Williams said it would appear this program would be detrimental to the poten- tial patronage of the Mass Transit District. He said he felt the Council should be concerned that any alternate system would be in competi ti'on to the Transit Distri ct' s existing market. Ms. Wil d replied that an eval uation of the program after a year is proposed to be sure there is no competition. Mr. Gloege said the concern of the Transit District was resolved and the Board indicated its willing- ness to endorse the concept. They have worked closely in location of RideStop stations so there will be no major traffic obstruction. The Council's endorse- ment would be provis'ional to implement the experiment and give an opportunity to test the concerns expressed. . Mr. Teague asked the City Attorney's op~n~on on liability and whether staff thinks there will be competition with the Transit District. City Attorney said it ap- pears the City would not be liable in RideStop's operation but asked for clarifica- ,tion of the entity which would be responsible. He said the City is merely consenting; another entity is setting up and operating the program. Manager said the experi- mental operation for a year or two will enable evaluation to determine ,if there is competition. He said there is understanding with the RideStop people that loca- tions of waiting stations will be carefully worked out from the Traffic and Public Works standpoint, probably under a revocable permi t process, wi th review by the City Attorney for the desired legal protection. There is also concern from law enforcement standpoint about personal risk for people participating in the program. Mr. Mohr moved seconded by Mrs. Campbell to accept the Planning Commission recom- mendation and give permission to implement the RideStop program, with evaluation of its operation at the end of one year. . City Attorney asked the nature of the RideStop ,entity. Ms. Wild replied that the ASUO (Associated Students of the University of Oregon) pledged money and staff to the Bilrvivai Center, a branch of ASUO, for RideStop. This endorsement also provides that the Director or Assistant Director of the Erb MemoriJal Union will enter into contracts with RideStop if necessary. Mr. Teague suggested a review of the program in six months, but Mr. Gloege said implementation will probably take that long so that six months to a year from the time the operation is actually started would give a better picture. Manager said if it is determined more formal adoption procedures are required after the City Attorney has investigated formal arrangements and legal liabilities, the proper papers will be prepared. It is understood at this point endorsement d~rects the staff to work out details of station locations, traffic patterns, etc. /a--~; 5/8/72 - 7 Councilman Mohr suggested the revocable permit process would automatically permit review 'of the program, but it was noted that that review is administrative.

Because of'a procedural misunderstanding, this council bill was not intended to be in- cluded on the agenda for this meeting nor were interested parties notified that it would he discussed. /dJ9 Comm Approve 5/3/72 - Comm 4/26/72 File Comm 4/26/72 File Comm 4/26/72 File Comm 4/26/72 File Comm 4/26/72 File .

Councilman Hershner said he would like to hear about the timing problems ,involved before voting on postponement. Councilman McDonald said because of the legal questions raised with regard to the Century Fund he would rather the item be held until further informa- tion is available. Manager said a report from .the Planning,Commissionwas received but not in time for distribution to Council members before this meeting. , Councilman Williams said he felt it would be more logical to decide whether to postpone after the answers were heard with regard to questions raised. Mrs. Campbell preferred postponement, not having had the information presented. Vote was taken on the motion as stated. Motion defeated, Councilmen Mohr, Beal, McDonald, and Campbell voting aye; Councilmen Teague, Williams, Hershner, Bradshaw, and Mayor Anderson voting no. ' . Manager gave the following information in reply to questions raised: (1) The YMCA does have the legal right to apply for a change of zone on the property involved. The "Y" has a long-term lease from School District 4J and was granted permission to build, sub- ject to securing authorization from the City through rezoning, and on the condition that the construction would not exceed five stories; (2) The Council'does have the authority to rezone publicly-oWhedland; (3) There are no deed restrictions limiting use of the property for park purposes; (4) There is no ~egal basis to require resolution of loading and unloading and pedestrian use at the YMCA building as part of the rezoning'issue since there a:i'e two separate parcels involved; (5) Planning for the area needs further w~rk and general plan refinements; (6) Amazon Housing - laws are relatively vague with regard to relationship between agencies at the time that area was developed; (7) Traffic egress to 22nd Avenue is not a necessary requirement; (8) Traffic arterials 'are capable of handling traffic generated by development, there has been no effort to evaluate future traffic volumes. In answer to Mrs. Beal, Planning Director said staff recommended the area'be zoned R-G rather than R-3 because of the restrictions under R-G so far as open space, height, sun /' plane, coverage, etc., are concerned. In answer to Councilman McDonald, he said 55 to ;' 60 units are allowed under the R-G zone, depending on height of structure and lot coverT age, and the maximum number allowed under R-3 is 60. Manager, in answeroto Mrs. Campbell, said that School District 4J owns the property and leases to the "Y" under a 75-year contract. Mrs. Campbell commented that the "Y" would not realize 100% profit because of the lease ~rrangement, and asked' about re- strictions in that respect. . - . In answer to Councilman McDonald, Manager said the rezoning petition was filed by the' YMCA, but the School Board authorized the action. He said that the zone accrues to the land and would be a designation permitting certain uses on that land without regard to owner or tenant. In answer to Councilman Hershner, Manager said the property was sold to the School District by the City. Joe Richards said the "Y" will continue to hold the property under the lease and under the terms permitting the "Y" to conduct this kind of acti vi ty. He explained the general terms' of the arrangement between the School District and the "Y" covering the, property and said it would allow the "Y" to get out of deficit financing. Councilman McDonald asked if the income from the development will be subject to Federal income tax. Mayor Anderson ruled the question out of order, saying it has nothing to do with the matter at hand. Councilman Bradshaw said that because no notice was given people in the area if action were taken at this meeting. delay would be somewhat critical for the developer who is units in time for the school term. he felt it would be unfair to Attorney' Richards said two weeks trying to open some of the Mr. Mohr moved seconded by Mrs. Beal to hold over to the May 22, 1972 Council meeting the rezoning of the YMCA property. . Councilman Williams said construction of apartments or motels as a source of funds for the "Y" is not new and is ,being done in most major cities; othe~ than that, he said, the "Y" does not have funds to develop the property, into a park. It is unlikely the City would develop it into a park in view of th~ funds be~ng expended in development of Amazon Park nearby. He said the property 'is' bordered by maj or thoroughfares so that it probably will not be developed under R-l regulations, so th?-t either the land will remain naked or the City will permit its development to provide additional housing and a 'source of funds for the "Y." He did not feel, there. was reason to postpone action, particularly in view of the benefit from favorable actibp~atthis ~eeting. . , /30, 5/8/72 - 9 Counc~lman Hershner asked what additional notice residents of the area would have had if the item had been on this meeting's agenda, and whether those people had appeared before the Planning Commission to present argum~nts at that stage. Manager'replied that there would have been no official notification, only what publicity would have resulted from newspaper stories, and that there had been representation of the neighborhood at,the Planning Commission meetings, also that a petition was received objecting to the change of zone'" " :' '., ' -' , . -Mr. 'Hershner said he also feels the proposed deveiopment is 'a' proper activity for the' "y" or any other charitable organization, and that the application should be looked upon as any other application for zone change:' He said' he 'doesni t feel the property should lie bare' when 'it could be put to proper use. ' ' Councilman Mohr said this Council would be doing a great disservice were it to take action at this meeting without citizens in attendance to counter. Mrs. Campbell said the Council wai te'd for answers to questions in order to be fair the "Y"so now it is only fair to give the neighborhood a chance to hear the answers before a decision is made. Vote was taken on the motion as stated, and motion carried. IV - Viet Naill.: Disclli?sion David Gwyther, representing twenty-three anti-war groups in the community which have come ~ogether as the Community Coalition to End the,War, distributed to Council members. a proposed resolution in support of the Coalition's position on the viet Nam conflict. He asked for time on the Council's agenda at the regular meeting on Monday, May 8, 1972, to argue for the wording of the proposed resolution. Mrs. Campbell and Mrs. Bea1 questioned whether all peace groups in the community were invo~ved ,in the Coalition and suggested several to be contacted. . Councilman Williams suggested, in view of recent Council adoption of world citizenship res61ution, that it would be prudent to include in the resolution some wording to the effect that Nqrth.viet Nam. might want to withdraw its invasion of South viet ,Nam. Mr. Gwyther said the Uni ted States Government should be spoken to first, and that, that is something ,which can be debated,at the formp.1 Council meeting. . It was understood the Coalition would be granted one-half hour on the Council agenda, MaY,8, .19,72,~ Comm 4/26/72 Pub Hrng Mr. Gwyther showed slides of the Viet Nam conflict and reviewed the history of the war and United States involvement. He asked the Council to adopt the resolution he pre~ sented saying that if this Council on its own initiative adopted the strong wording of this resolution,:he thinks the President of the United States would listen. _ He presented petitions containing, he said, 2500 names of persons.supporting the petition presented by the Coalition. Sue Gordon, 1136 East 20th Avenue, read a res01ution which she asked. the Council, to adopt, also asking that copies be sent to the Oregon Congressional Delegation and to President Nixon. . Speaking in favor of adoption of a resolution by the Council calling~_fpr_an end to the war in Viet Nam were lain More, student body president of the University of Oregon; Ron Eachus, 1855 Olive, former student body president of the Uni versi ty of Oregon; Lois Barton, member of World Without War Council; James Weaver, candidate for Congress; and Glen Gordon, 1136 East 20th Avenue. Councilman Mohr noted that the Council had before it for consideration two different resolu- tions. Mrs. Campbell and Mrs. Beal said the Council reneged on, its responsibility in not immediately forwarding the resolution ,to., Congress ,and the President onre~ults of the Viet Nam vote in May 1971. ,Councilman Teague recalled that'later action was taken and the results of that vote were sent. Mayor Anderson said that aq~ion was not pertinent, to consideration of the resolutions presented at this meeting. . Councilman Mohr favored the resolution presented by Mrs. Gordon. Councilman McDonald said in light of statements made today (blockade of North Yiet Nam ports) he felt the Council should support the President. Coun,cilman W,illiams said he felt it worthwhile to point out, when the argument is pre-:- sented that the United States should stop its' 'efforts in Viet Nam, that North Viet Nam is involved in naked aggression in foreign countries (Cambodia, Laos). He wopdered if it would be proper action for this Council to say it supports ,that, which he feels adoptiop of the resolutions presented would say.- He said the President asked support not in encouraging U. S. aggression but in asking a nation which has twelve or thirteen divisions involved ,in attacking its neighbors to bring those divisions to a cease fire, then the U.S. will withdraw. I J~ / 5/8/72 - 10 "l Mrs. Beal said the President has the right to know what the people of the United States are thinking. She said the 1971 vote in Eugene expressed that thinking and she feels that expression should be reiterated and again.forwarded to the President. '. , , Mrs. Beal moved seconded by Mr. Mohr that the Common Council of the pity of Eugene hereby reiterates the public policy of the city of Eugene as expressed by voters in May 20, 1971 vote, to wit: "We, the people of the city of Eugene, Oregon, hereby request the President and the Congress of the United States to begin immediately the total withdrawal of United States military forces and materiel from Southeast Asia and to complete such total witpdrawal no ,later than December 31, 1971." That date being past we again respectfully request the President and the Congress of the United State? to effect the immediate and complete disengagement of American military forces in Southeast Asia, and set a date for effect thereof. Councilman Mohr wondered what effect this Council has on,matters outside its. province, when it represents'the people in taking care of City business.. He said the people should under- stand the Council is in an exceedingly difficult position - if vote is split, it would be difficult to make any effect. Councilman Bradshaw said the Council does have the responsibility in that the people did vote on this issue, and if this motion is passed it would in fact be carrying out what the people instructed the Council to do. . Councilman Hershner said he hesitated in voting on this resolution since it is reiterat- ing an expression made several months ago, and conditions have changed in Viet Nam since that time which may have changed sentiments in this city. He said he finds it difficult to support the resolution in light of the current North Viet Nam aggression. Mrs. Campbell said'in view of the circumstances in forwarding the original vote last year, reiterating'that expression now would set it right. Councilman Teague said he feels it is an inopportune time because of the President's statements today calling for support. He cited several other governmental units which have not supported resolutions calling for withdrawal from Viet Nam, and. said the resolu- tions should not be considered at this time. Mrs. Beal said she feels it is a most opportune time to offer, this motion, that the U.,S. is at a most dangerous point of escalation of the war. She does not doubt that the r,resident feels h? is doing the wisest thing, but there is the duty to express to him the wishes of the people. Mrs. Campbell commented that the Council is the only place for the people to express themselves and the Council should forward that expression to Congressional representatives. . Councilman Mohr asked if it is thought not a propitious time to support the merits of the resolutions whether it could be considered at a late~ time in a favorable light. Councilman Hershner said this item was scheduled WIth no time set aside for any other viewpoints, and he felt the Council would want to hear anyone who would want to speak on the other side of this Issue in support of the President before adopting the resolu- tion. Councilman Teague concurred and referred to previous action to hold action on a rezoning issue to give opposition an opportunity to be heard. Mr. Teague moved seconded by Mr. Williams to table the item. Motion carried, Councilmen McDonald, Teague, Williams, Hershner, and Mayor Anderson voting aye; Councilmen Mohr, Beal, Campbell, and Bradshaw voting .no. Mayor Anderson said he still supports the resolutions; t~at he feels the United States is embarking upon a dangerous course; but that it would be better to reflect on it and not act hastily. He said it may be that the Council would want to forward this resolu- tion, but not at this time, in view of the grave concern and in. the event, repprasing may be 4E;sired. y - ITEMS NOT PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED A..
