Anderson at 7: 30 p. m. on May 22, 1972 in the Council Chamber with the following councilmen present: Mr. Mohr, Mrs. Beal, Mr. McDonald , Mr. Hershner, and Mrs. Campbell. Councilmen Teague, Williams, and Bradshaw were absent. .' ,I, I - PUBLIC HEARINGS A. Rezoning YMCA'property east side Patterson north of 23rd ' , Council Bill No. 9634 -' Rezoning to R-G SR' area on e,ast side of Patterson Street between YMCA parking lot C!-nd 23rdAvenue, submitted and read the first time on April 24, 1972, held' at that time and again on May 8, 1972 for second reading, was brought back for consideration. Manager, explained that at the time of first reading questioB were' raised about this request which were "answered"atthe May '8 meeting, and that the request 'was dis'cussed briefly at a joint meeting of the Planning Commission and Council. Mr. Mohr moved seconded by Mrs. Beal that the bill be read the second time by council bill number only, and that enactment be considered at this time. Joe Richards, attorney, introduced the following who urged rezoning of the property: Bob Booth, president of the Central Lane Y Endowment Fund; Donald Husband, former member ()f 'the 'YEnd()wment Board;' Mrs . John Warren, meIIJl:a> of the Y Endowment Board;' Charles Pressman, past president of the Y; James Misko, representing the developer of the property; Bill Theiss, manager of the YMCA; and Cherie Wheatley (Mrs. William G.) member of the Y Board. Mr. Theiss presented copies of 'letters to Council members indicating programs of YMCAs involved with projects similar "to that the local Y would like to use. ., Mr. Richards explained in detail the terms of the lease under which the Y holds the property owned by School District 4J. He said the School District has no long-range use for' the property and that there are- no deed restrictions preventing the property's use as proposed by the Y. The property will: be on the tax rolls, and they do not feel it proper that- this parcel be kept out of development. Wes Morgan, 2101 Monroe Street, urged approval of the rezoning, saying that the area is surrounded by multiple-family units and if'the1990 General 'Plan is to be followed it would seem logical to fill vacant areas within the City. Virginia Gillmore, 2182 Hilyard Street, said the entire neighborhood shoUld be con- sidered for rezoning rather than just the one parcel. She doubted whether one could say the parcel is surrounded by multiple-family housing since the temporary' Amazon housing, the Y, and neighbors border the location. 'She said members of the Century Fund who participated in purchase of that land trusted that it would be use~ in the right way and thus did not put restrictions in the deed. She said there is already an excess of housing in the area, and that this type of housing would be for young unmarried adults. She doubted that it would be a good business deal for the Y be- cause according to her figures the Y would receive only about 10% of the rental in- come, the balance going to the developer. She reiterated the opinion that the develop- ment is an inappropriate use of 'publicly-owned land. . . Hubert Sears, 660 East 22nd Avenue, said the plight of about 200 people signing peti- tions opposing the rezoning is being overlooked. He said the proposed development will be in competition with University of Oregon housing which is encountering problems now in keeping dorms full. He said he believes if this rezoning is granted there will be a rash of other rezoning requests for the neighborhood; that the people in that area will have to do something to retain the value in their properties. Earl Gillmore, 2182 Hilyard Street, said he feels the Council should consider that the land is public land purchased through efforts of the Century Fund people, and if rezoning is approved it will set precedent initiating a rush by charitable organiza- tions to obtain leases on public land for apartment houses. He feels the School Dis- trict will be criticized and that it will have an adverse effect on 'money ballot measures. Ted Heid, 2192 Hilyard Street, took the stand that the entire area should be considered for rezoning rather than the one property because the neighborhood is no longer a resi- dential type for family use. Two heavily used arterial streets, increased traffic congestion, noise, and pedestrian use create a need for comprehensive study for possible zone change of the area between Patterson and Hilyard Streets. For this reason the issue should not be decided at this time, he said. -.- la7 5/22/72 - 1 '. Viola Sears, 660 East 22nd Avenue, thinks the area ~ould not be in competition to other recreational facilities because they are usually crowded and need added space. She said a survey of the neighborhood showed no object~on to use of the Y property for bikes~ and' that she did not believe there is a need for additional housing in the area. 'I.' '.. , .,- Michael Sprague, 231 East 12th Avenue, said he was aware of a number of organizations within the community needing financial assistance more than the YMCA, and that the proposed apartment development would only increase crowding an~ problems associated wi th it. ' Bryce Ringsdorf, 2172 Hilyard Street, asked that the rezoning request be denied and more planning given to the area to see if something petter can be done wit~ the property. Mayor Anderson asked for a show of hands in the audience in favor and against the re- I'zoning, and it' appeared to be about even. 'Mr. Richards, in answer to Councilman Hershner~'said theS'chool' District lease to the Y is for 75 years from August 1953, and that during only one year, the 5lst, is there an absolute right to purchase the property. Mr. Hershner asked the estimated life of the building proposed for the property, and Mr. Richards replied that asa requirement of the j oint venture the building must be kept in good repair and returned at the end of the lease without any liens or encumbrances. He believes' it will be' a valuable improvement at the end of that time. .. Councilman Mohr asked about the argument made :that the Council has the responsibility of protecting land in t,he public trust. Mr. Richards said other Century Fund lands conveyed with intention of hO,lding' in public trust very clearly state the inte~ded restrictions. However on this parcel no such restrictions appear in the deed. In answer to Councilman McDonald, Mr. Richards said this land is not now on the' tax rolls but will be upon 'completion of the 'development. He cited State law which requires public land leased to private parties to be subject to taxation in the full amount - this development it is believed will pay in excess of $20,000 at the current rate. Mr. McDonald commented on the number of units (46) and the developer's plan for four 'bedrooms per unit, 'saying that in light of the Uni versi ty' s cos:ts in keeping their units filled it seemed' quite a numb'er ',of units. ,Mayor Anderson said the issue is whether there are basic questions with regard to land use, whether the proposed use will create undue problems for the area or particular hardship on the neighborhood. .

Presen,t: Mayor Anderson; Councilmen Beal, hershner, Campbell, and Bradshaw.) :' ' Planning COmrrUssion recommended: _.1-.: That ,an area ,within 2000 feet of the ridgeline (shown on map attached to Planning eOmnUssion report) in the southern portion of the City 'be designated as an area for special study. ".' ''.._-~,.-~ 2. That wi thin the designated study area, planned uni t development procedures be re- ,quired for all development wi th the except'ion of minor subdivisions until comple- tion of the study. /41 5/22/72 - 3 . . ."~"".' 7"'<-~ . .' 3. That withi'n the designated study area', the maximum density permitted be limited to six (6) dwelling units per acre, with staging requirements until completion of the study. 4. That the Planning Comrr.ctssion withhold favorable recommendations for further annexations in the study area, except for those areas considered a public health hazard. 5. That the first report by the staff will be due six months after the date of study authorization. Reports thereafter should be made every three months, and the entire study period should not extend more than one year from the first report. 6. That planned unit developments be required with clustering of living units to provide for a corridor of public access for any ridgeline park proposal that might come out of the study. The recommendations come as the result of several public hearings on applications for planned unit developments containing as many as eight units to an acre. There was concern about the City's ability to service developments of that magnitude. Mrs. Campbell commented that she has attended many of the hearings concerned wi th the development of the area, and said she concurs with the recommendations. Mrs. Beal noted the original staff report recommended a limitation to four units per acre, whereas the pres(;?nt recommendation allows six. Manager said the Commis- sion feels PUDprocedures offer the best process for development of large pieces of land, particularly in hillside areas where there are design problems, but be- 'came convinced of the dubious economics of limiting'to a density of four units per acre. It appeared such developments would become standard subdivisions rather than planned unit developments. Since the period of limitation under consideration is no longer than one and a half years it was felt an increase from four to .six uni ts per acre would not make too much difference, but would allow some develop- ments already started and about which there might be a question of financial feasibility under the lesser limitation to go ahead. Planning Director said the hearings also brought out not only concern about traffic and external problems, but also about cutting of trees in that area. If PUD procedures are encouraged, there would be control in that respect. Councilman Hershner said he would abstain from discussion and voting since a partner in his law firm represents one of the proposed developments in the area. Mrs. Campbell moved seconded by Mrs. Beal that the Council adopt the interim plan for the control of development of property lying wi thin 2000 feet of the ridgeline in the southern portion of the City. Motion carried, Mr. Hershner abstaining. Comm 5/17/72 PUb Hrng It was understood the item would be placed in the public hearing section of the May 22, 1972 Council agenda. " . oj,,', Letter from Fred Cuthbert dated May 20, 1972 re: Hillside Housing Density was ~e- cei ved and noted that Council members also received copies. . _;' Marian Frank, speaking for the League of Women Voters, read a statement in favor::o;f the Planning Commission recommendation. Others speaking in favor of the recommenda- tion were Esther Leong, Route 4, Box 306, reading a statement on behalf of the '" Spencer Butte Improvement Association, and Michael Sprague, 231 East 12th Avenue';:,::::- Alan Seder, 2385 McLean Boulevard, supported views presented by Mr. Cuthbert in his letter, that limiting density will extend use of utilities - streets, sewers, more blacktop area, more tree cutting. He said multistory buildings are more adaptable to steep sites whereas single-family buildings tend to destroy. Wes Morgan, 2101 Monroe Street, was concerned in light of the gravity of the issue that a decisip;:".would be made without participation of all of the Council members, and asked that the item be tabled until the full Council is in session. Mayor Anderson explained that the presence of five members of the Council constitutes a quorum, so that it would be the decision of those present whether to take action, table, or po~t- pone. He said since this particular time is devoted to public hearing, it may be . they will take no action depending upon the testimony given and the inclination of the Council at this time. Mr. Morgan read a statement of the Chamber of Commerce containing a series of conclusions and recommendations on the interim plan presented, and again asked the Council to consider delay in its decision until all members are present. 1'10 5/22/72 - 4 Chris Attneave, Route 4, Box 319M, said she feels the City is being pressured by realtors in order to put in developments, and that limiting units to four per acre will not endanger the economic position.::S\'1e said if a decision ,is delayedthe matter should be carefully consider~d to:a<;lopt',.a st,;ronger 'p'61iHi6ri 'an'q,Ciec.lare,a; moratorium to allow time for a detailed study. ',' ; -c, . Stu Berge, General Development Corporation working on the Southridge project, ex- pressed the opinion that the proposed plan is nothing more than a method to fore- stall economic growth and development in the South Eugene hills until such time as the City can confiscate the land for the purpose of an ill-conceived ridgeline park. He said in no way does the 1990 Plan speak of the ridgeline area with regard to the urban service boundary, and that not until the Southridge and Balsm developments were proposed did the ridgelinepark come into being. He compared open space in E~gene with the national average, and the minimum allowable open space in PUDs with that proposed in the Southridge development. He said costs imposed on de- velopers through density limitations are passed on to the customer, also that the density limitation proposed is a violation of the 1990 Plan which stresses compact growth. Nils Hult, 2400 South Louis Lane, said his property was purchased in the south hills five years ago with the feeling that development of the hillside areas would somehow stop the proliferation of housing in the productive agricultural land. He agreed deve~opments on the hillside areas should be planned and has no objection to density limitations, but he is concerned about the proposed moratorium on any construction 'within 2000 feet of the ridgeline. He said it seems unreasonable to continue paying taxes on property while awaiting a decision on how it is to be developed, and that until the City is willing to meet the financial obligations they can't reasonably with- hold application to annex and develop that type of property. If the City doesn't want more housing, he feels it should be a matter of record so that people who think they are supplying a need will not Be in limbo. ..-, ~..~ .t. Jopn'Breeden, 4072 Normandy Way, commented that there seems to be no real need for ,d~fferent density limitation for this area because there would be the same external impact on traffic and schools here as in any other part of the City. He said the PUD regulations would be workable for the ridgeline area with very few changes. He commented on costs involved in building under PUD regulations should a limit be imposed if plans are;~e'~~l;;p~~i on that limitation and later restricted to fewer units. He asked that servlces be allowed to the rid~eline area and that no mora- torium be declared on development there. J- ____ Wayne Johnson, developer, commented on development in Eugene prior to adoption of the PUD regulations and the length of time it now takes to complete developments under those regulations. For that reason he opposed the moratorium and other re- strictions on development of property in the City. Lottie Streisinger, Route 4, Box 311, said she believes the proposed plan does not go far enough, that it deserves considerable thought and time to prevent destruction of the area. She feels the density limitation should be less than six units per acre. . Councilman McDonald said he does not see where the ridgeline area will be hurt by the proposed development, and that he does not favor the moratorium. Mrs. Campbell said the 'two projects involved, Southridge and Balsm, will not be prohibited if they proceed on the interim plan. Manager noted that the two proj ects have pre-preliminary approval for PUDs, and if ,. this density limitation and moratorium are adopted for one and a half years and if, the proposed projects go ahead c. during that time, they will have to abide by the six-units-per-acre limitation. ' Mrs. Ca~pbell said the Council did take a position in adopting the 1990 Plan and that she would like to see the urban service area defined in the south hills area. She said people have demonstrated to this Council the desire to preserve this area, and she would like to see the Council follow the Planning Commission recommendation and accept the interim plan with a review in six months. She commented on the demand on facilities in the South Willamette area now and the lack of funds to build new schools. Mrs. Campbell moved seconded by Mrs. development on property lying within portion of the City. Beal to adopt the interim plan to control 2000 feet of:the ridgeline in the southern . Councilman Mohr asked if the external impact taken into consideration when eight units perac~e were allowed would still be important in consideration of the six-unit-per- acre limitation. 'Manager said the proposed study would certainly have to include the City's ability to meet demands on public services of developments of greater density IJ../I 5/22/72 - 5 -. . -, . . ---~ in the future than the proposed six units per acre. It was to six would provide sufficient incentive so that PUD s during the next year and a half could proceed, whereas if held to four units, developments would probably occur as regular subdivisions. He said he does not believe the difference between the limit of six and eight per acre received discussion at the Planning Commission meeting. Councilman Mohr asked how the number of six units per acre was fixed, whether that number was decided upon to allow off-site consideration, with the idea of using that impact base to consider whether to ask for an amendment to PUD requirements to change from eight to six. James Pearson, chairman of the Planning Commission, said the Commission did consider off-site impact of developments, existing transportation facilities were of particular consideration. He said the limitation to four units was found impractical in order for developers to seriously consider the planned development approach. Further that it was felt developments should be kept from the ridgeline proper to allow a park to be put in after the year and a half period. Mrs. Beal was concerned for those who purchase property under one condition and then planning processes change those conditions. She doesn't feel the Council can disregard the overriding interest of the whole City and would really rather see a moratorium for a longer period of time on any construction to preserve the primitive area of the City. At the same time she is concerned with the approach taken by Mr. Cuthbert and Mr. Seder. Councilman McDonald said that although the area may be reserved for park use he doesn't know that the City is financially able to buy park land now held by private developers. He said he could not vote in favor of the recommendation. Councilman Mohr asked what actual change is being made in PUD procedures, whether the ordinance is being amended or limitations required by resolution of the Council., Manager explained that the change in PUD procedure is only as it applies to the number of dwelling units permitted per acre. The action of the Council if it were to accept the recommendation would be to direct the Planning Commission not to approve any planned unit development which exceeds six units per acre within 2000 feet of the ridgeline. It is an interim zoning plan pending a permanent decision as to whether changes should be made for that area. Mayor Anderson said he feels the Council should postpone action, there being only five Council members present and only four voting (Mr. Hershner has said he will abstain because of conflict of interest). A matter having such impact on the , , o _~....__._...., ______ community deserves the attention of the full Council. He recommended postponement tq a_ s~sequent meeting when all Coun,<?il membe~,s are present. _~ __ .... . '~"~', ,<."/'0' .. _0.- .---.----- Mr. McDonald moved seconded by Mr. Mohr to pqstpone action until the June l2, 1972 Council meeting, without going through another p,ublic hearing. Motion carried, all councilmen present voting aye, except Mrs.,Ci:!.mpbell voting no, and Mr. Hershner abst aining . . . . . E.

(Property owner okayed bid June 19, 1972.) On Poplar Park project estimated additional cost of $1.31 per front foot will be incurred for storm sewer. The Department recommended holding until the June 12,l972 Council meeting award of bids on paving streets in 11th Addition Edgewood Estates and in Loma Vista Park Subdivision, as well as sewer construction in both developments. Director said since only one bid was received on each of the sewer p~ojects, they would be rebid and the paving bids ,held until the new bids are aw arde d. Director noted that owners of property affected by the project between 3rd and 4th from Mill to the east were contacted, and the majority favor accepting the low bid submitted although it is considerably higher than the engineers' estimate. Also noted that bids are listed for sewer on Baxter Street held from last November. The Department recommended award of contract to low bidders on all projects other than those to be held or rebid. " '- Mr. Mohr moved seconded by Mrs. Beal to award contracts to the low bidders on the projects as recommended; hold Items 3 and 6; and rebid Items 11 and 13. A letter of protest on paving streets in Loma Vista Park from Hugh Gobler was noted and a map displayed to show Council members his ownership. Rollcall vote was taken on the motion as stated, and motion carried 'unanimously. II - ITEMS CONSIDERED WITH ONE MOTION Previously discussed at'comnUttee meeting May 17,1972 (Present: Mayor Anderson; Councilmen Beal,' Hershner, Campbell, and Bradshaw). Those minutes appear below printed in italics. A. Affirmative Action Program - As the result of twoJtudies concerning employment practices of the City with regard to minorities and women, copies of which were previously distributed to Council members, the Human Rights Commission recommended an Affirmati ve Action Program and requested the Council to adopt a resolution endorsing the recommendation. A letter was read from Bobbie Ed- wards, chairman of the Human Rights. Commission, urging the Council to support the efforts of the Commission and City staff to improve employment opportunity for all members of the Ci ty' s work force regardless of sex or race. The recom- mended action program was also read. Man,ager said t~e City administration concurs with the recommendations in the statement of action and has implemented those possible. He commended members of the Human Rights Commission; Theo Allen, chairman of the commission subcom- mittee; Mr. Edwards; and Lew Peters of the Man?ger's staff, for their efforts in behalf of problems of the minority groups. Mr. Edwards said the Action Program is a positive step and will serve as an example to other communities. ' He said he feels Eugene is well ahead of most cities in trying to resolve problems before they become too great. Mrs. Beal expressed pleasure in the presentation of ' the Action Program, com- menting on the two years work spent since the subject of City employment prac- tices was first brought to the Council. She said she was delighted that regula- tions have been drawn and that the Ci ty administration intends to follow through, saying rules mean nothing unless there is real, honest, and honorable determina- tion on the part of those responsible to enforce them in the spirit in which they were intended. Mrs. Campbell also expressed' appreciation to the Human Rights Commission and said she. felt the work would serve as an example to other cities. IL/~ 5/22/72 - 8 Mrs. Beal asked if there would be a comndttee to judge whether there is a 'bona fide sex requirement' for a position, or whether this is to be determined s'oJely by the Personnel Director; also, whether there are any employment agencies who adhere to equal employment policies. Gary Long, City personnel director, said since there are no bona fide sex requirements for any position in City employ- ment, judgment in that is not anticipated. He said as ,a result of his work with the Human Rights Commission there has developed a strong relationship'between the State and City employment offices with regard to ,minority and sex ~mployment practices. He said at the present time there is one black male and one black female working in the State office. -. Mrs. Bealasked what the 'normal' grievance procedure is, and it was explained as a series of appeals to the City Manager; if there is no resolution of the grievance at that level ,.there is ,the prerogative of appealing to the Human Rights commission. Lew Peters said he would be responsive to any woman or black having a grievance and who felt they needed consultation with someone other than their immediate supervisor. Mrs .,Beal asked about the policy of terminating employment because of marriage~ Manager replied that husband and wife working in the same department - create administrati ve problems. ,The same applied' wi th other close relati ves such as >, brother, ,father, sister, etc., ,working in the same department. However, in the case of marriage between two persons working in the -same department, - one or the other will have the opportunity of transferring to another department. If that is not possible, one will have to terminate. Lois Martin, consultant to the Human Rights commission in preparing, the study,on female employment practices, said there was a problem in developing the Affirma- tive Action Program policy, regarding married couples working within a department because the State guidelines state that a nepotism rule is discriminatory. She said efforts were made to include a conflict-of-interest clause which would pro- vide that employes could be terminated if it could be determined conflict related to job and individual circumstances rather than because of relationship to another person. The Commission did not approve, that substitute provision, but Ms. Martin said she would assume if the Council is willing to consider it at this,point it, could be included. She considered it a more healthy provision. . Michael Sprague said he considered the provision requiring termination in the event of marriage between persons in the same' department unfair. He also asked whether there is real access to the Human Rights ,Commission for people who have grievances. Mr. Edwards said in talking to various organizations, by way of media announcements, and through handbooks distributed throughout the communi ty, this knowledge is being disseminated. Mayor Anderson remarked that the vol ume of work now being processed by the Human Rights Commiss~on indicates the Commission is being utilized. Mrs. Campbell moved seconded by Mrs. Beal that the Council ask the staff to pre- pare a resolution supporting the Affirmative Action Program recommended by the Human Rights Commission and City administration for adoption at the next Council meeting. Motion carried unanimously. . Mayor Anderson commented that adoption of this Program probably is the second most significant milestone in the area of human rights undertaken by the City; the first was the adoption of the Equal Opportunity ordinance. He said this program attests to the fact that the Human Rights Commission is taking very defini te, posi ti ve steps in human rights, and he complimented members of the Commission on the work. Theo Allen, with reference to Mrs. Beal's comment on the two years' work spent in bringing,the Program to this point, said a statement of action by the State government started in 1966 was just finalized this year. Comm 5/17/72 Approve B. Code. Amendment, Section 5.695 to 5.710 re: Immobilizing and Impounding Motor Vehicles - Copies' of proposed ordinance were previously distributed to Council members. The amendment would allow Community Service Officers in the Police Department or others then sworn police officers to attach 'a "boot" to immobilize vehicles in violation or which need to be impounded because of a large collection of parking tiekets. ..This will free police from a time consuming process which can be done more economically by others. . Mrs. Beal moved seconded by J1!.r. Hershner to amend the Code as recommended. In answer to, Mrs. Beal, Manager said under the new ordinance meter maids would be included among those who could legally attached the "boot." Vote was taken on the motion as stated, and motion carried unanimously. Comm 5/17/72 Approve' /'15' 5/22/72 - 9 - C. EWEB Transactions L.

Mrs. Bea1 moved seconded by Mrs. Campbell to accept the peti tion. Motion carried unanimously. E. Segregation of Assessment - Art Clough, 954 Lorane Highway, requests segrega- tion of sewer assessment against a portion of his property on Lorane Highway west of Friendly Street. Balance remaining after segregation will be $645.72; the amount paid for that portion separated is $398.80., Mrs. Bea1 moved seconded by Mr. Hershner to approve the segregation. Motion carried unanimously. . F. Conditional Use Permit Appeals 1. Fand1y Shelter House, 2308 Wi11amette Street, in R~g zone 2. McKro1a Nursery School, 2720 Potter Street, in R-1 zone Both operations are permitted under conditional use r~quirements granted by the Planning COmnUssion. Manager said 'the appellants as well as other interested will be notified of the public hearing date. Mr. Hershner moved seconded by Mrs. Campbell to hold a pub1i c hearing on both appeals at the June 12, 1972 Council rneeting. Motion carried unanimously. G. Mobile Home Permits 1. Emerald Baseball Club requests use of mobile ,home for office purposes at Civic Stadium. A small vacation-type trailer used for ticket office was replaced by a mobile home without the proper procedure being fo1iL<owed. Proper application has now been made and building department questions have been presented to the petitioner. 2. Munn Motors Boulevard, to cover is request use of mobile horne for watchman quarters at 1267 Railroad Owner Frank Munn reports loss from pilferage and theft; insurance prohibi ti ve . ."

Amazon Tennis Courts - Manager said in answer to Mrs. Campbell's recent in- quiry concerning condition of the Amazon tennis courts that the Parks Depart- ment reports the playing surface is all right and that need for resurfacing is not anticipated for two or three years, if then. .' K. Municipal Court Bail Schedule - Manager read a letter from Judge Frank Bocci of the Municipal Court saying that bail on excessive noise violations has been increased from $11 to $17 to $27 and will again probably be increased, this in response to the Council's request that the Court be advised of concern about repeated occurrences of noisy motor vehicles. L. Correspondence 1. Petition from members of Chinese Art and History of Japanese Art classes at the University of Oregon re: Viet Nam war and President Nixon's decision to blockade North viet Nam. 2.

He said time will be scheduled. Comm 5/17/72 File '. M. Complaint, Noisy Air Conditioner - Mrs. Campbell asked proper procedure for someone complaining about noise caused by an air conditioner' in an adjacent building. Manager explained this was reported to the administration and in- vestigation will be made to determine whether this annoyance comes under the provisions of the noise ordinance. Attorney said civil remedies are available should the City be unable to help. Comm 5/17/72 File N. South Willamette Noise - Copies of a letter received from Edward J. Fyfe, 3670 Willamette Street, and of reply from Manager were previously distributed to Council members. Mr. Fyfe requested time on the committee agenda to discuss noise problems in the South willamette ~rea and to make recommendations in that regard. Manager's reply was that the Council had'discussed this problem at . considerable length and within the last month, but that Mr. Fyfe would be given time should the Council wish. It was the consensus there was no need for further discussion. Comm 5/17/72 File Mrs. Beal asked for segregation of Item A (Affirmative Action Program). Mayor Anderson ruled the request out of order; the Committee action was to prepare a resolution for, consideration and that will be disQussed later in the meeting. .

'0 _ ..\ . ;' . ,.: \'" ~ . Licenses ha~e been reviewed by Police Department an9, there are no objections to approval. Manager noted question raised with regard to the committee appointed to deve19P'some form of affidavit to be signed Iby,liquor license applicants prior to Council endorsement. He said it is assumed when tha:t:::;)committee comes back with a report and if change of-'pro- cedure is adopted, it would apply from that time on. Councilman Mohr asked about the application for, renewal of the Laurelwood license, and it was noted that the renewal is requested for the individual, not the Club. Mrs. Beal said in view of the Human Rights Commission request and its very s~rong feeling that liquor license renewal of any club guilty of racial discrimination in any form should not be approved she would like to see delay of the Eagles and Elks renewals. Mayor Ander- son said there is no question of the intent of the Commission, but that lt would seem the Council would be countermanding a previous decision (appointmeni of committee to bring back a recommendation) if approval were t~ be withheld at this 'time: In response to Mrs. Campbell, Manager explained the change in procedure of the OLCC with regard to renewal applications. Annual termination, dates on a portion of the State "s re- newals have been changed to June 30 to avoid an overload on the' Commission at the end of the year. He said the Commission meets early in June and if action is not taken by the Council at this meeting, the license holders will be in danger of not having their re- newals approved by the OLCC' It may b'e the OLCC would actaffi'rmati vely on the applica- tions without the Council's recommendation, or the two licenses (Elks and Eagles) could be forwarded to the OLCC with the Council's reasons for not 'making a recommendation. Mrs. Campbell said th~ staff had the responsibility of informing the Councii of the time factors when the committee was appointed to consider the afftdavif, but there was no' mention of any emergency at that time. Manager agreed, however no one was aware at that time that the time element would, enter, into _ approv(il of the renewals. Councilman Hershner said it is his ide'a that i'f the Council decfdes up'6n Using the'affi- davit, it is going to require a law, ,and he doesn't see how one or two o,utlets can be singled out for withholding appr.oval when,others have been renewed-without having signed it. Mrs. Beal said there is no question about discrimination in refusal of 'service, J^l8 5/22/72 - 12 hut .i,.t ~. ~tlLX'ega,;rd to-!IleJUhers.hip of p..ri:vate clubstowhi.ch theaf,tidayit is addressed. ~ae, sa,td prohably some- form of resolution could he developed for use prior to the July 1 licenSe termination date. ,J1rs:. Camphellsuggested postponement, of action' on the three clubs-listed (Elks, Eagles-, , Town. Cl-uE}-unt'il,]iJr. Williams ',r,eturn and his c6nrinittee meets, saying at least the Counc:tl will have attempted to do something about the situation. Councilman Mohr noted that Oregon law has no provision with respect to discriminatory practices except as applies throughout the State to all public places. What this Council is trying to do is perfect a strong position in this respect. He said he would not mind holding action on these three applications, but would not like to hold them without grounds for denying if the committee is not prepared to present such a recommendation. Me. Hershner commented that even though the committee may meet in time to forward the applications to the OLCC, it has been suggested ~uDlic- testimony be taken from the licensees also and that would add to the delay. - .Mayor Anderson said he supports the affidavit, but in making it effective it will be necessary for the Council to have a firm, well thoyght out policy for utilization of that affidavit. The committee should meet much as the Human Rights Commission has met on the Affirmative Action Program, obtaining recommendations and holding public hearings, and he doesn't see how that can be done in the brief time available. He said he thinks at this point the process should be extended so that whatever policy is developed will be workable and have full input of combined committee of the Commission and the Council. Mrs. Campbell moved seconded by Mrs. Beal to postpone decision on applications of the Elks, Eagles, and TownCluh. Councilman McDonald expressed the opinion that time is of the essence and that he would rather see a report from the committee and have public hearings; that he feels the Council would be on firmer ground in withholding action. In reply to Mrs. Campbell's comment that the three applicants are the only ones requiring membership, Mr. Hershner said it goes much further than membership, and cited the example of a commercial establishment charged with instructing waitresses to be dilatory in serving minorities. (. Mrs. Beal moved seconded by Mrs. Campbell to delay action on the entire group until the June 12, 1972 Council meeting. Mr. Hershner said his vote against the motion would not be indicative of his feeling on the merits; he doesn't see how the Council subcommittee can meet with the Human Rights Commission subcommittee, hold public hearings, and develop a well thought out policy by July 1. Councilman McDonald said he is against penalizing all for what just a few are evidently doi~g ~d fe~l~ there is not enough time to accomplish what is wanted. Vote was taken on the motion as 'stated by Mrs. Beal. Motion defeated" Mrs-;Beal and Mrs. Campbell voting yes; CoUncilmen Mohr, McDonald, and Hershner voting no.

Janice Granstrom, 1000 West 7th Avenue" requested emPloyment of a secretary and a woman with extensive work experience in understanding problems of women-in the office of Minority Relations Specialist for implementation and monitoring of programs for women. She said it might be possible for this person to apply for Federal funding of a program for employment of women in the Police Department, and in other areas of the City along the same lines. She said the Minority Relations Specialist is extremely busy with Blacks, Chicanos , Native Americans, Asians to' have to also pay attention to women's problems. - Ma~ian Frank, speaking for the League of Women Voters,said the resolution is just a document, and to attain its goal it must be implemented by a person sensitive to the needs,c5f ,minorities, including women. She read a statement from the League and presented copies of it to the Council. David Gwyther, 66 East 13th Avenue, said an aggressive person as women's advocate 'is needed to broaden the City's employment practices in ,considering the breadwinner's qua~ifications the only criteria for employment. ,- Theresa Engelmann, 1910 Fairmount Boulevard, expressed the oplnlon that minority groups would object if a whit~ ,~er~on were appointed Specialist, and that a man ,cannot implement a program for women without discrimination.

Mr. Peters said Congress has passed legisla~ion covering State as well as local governments in this respect, but since implementation takes some time'i t has not yet been accomplished al thougn it is legally required. Mrs. Campbell commented that it might be possible,then to have Federal funds withdrawn if the City does not adhere to guidelines of affirmative action program. Manager questioned the intent of the amendment as it applies to procedure, saying it is the Council's responsibility to set policy, his to supervise implementation -of that policy. ' He's'ug- gested discusssion as to implementation of the women's program should come from the Commission to the Manager's ,office, then if-it is deemed necessary that 'another position should be created and money budgeted it would be his responsibility through the Budget Committee to,the Councilor to the Council alone to provide funds for that implementation. He said it would seem premature for the Council to involve itself in implementation.
