Finance Department recommended the rate change for taxicabs which will represent about
an 18% increase in cab companies' revenues. Manager said it was his understanding that
without the proposed increase there was very real danger that the cab companies would
no longer be able to operate.

Public hearing was opened.
Don Bach, 795 Willamette Street, attorney representing the cab companies, said the
requested increase was absolutely essential if the cabs were to continue in business.
Both companies, he said, were operating at a loss now.
Bill Rogers, president of Teamsters Local 57, arriving after adoption of the rate
increase, spoke in favor of it.
x
Public hearing was closed, there being no further testimony.
Resolution No. 2244 - Authorizing increase in taxicab rates to 70~ for the
first 1/7 mile, 10~ for each additional 1/7 mile was
read by number~and title only.
~r. Williams moved seconded by Mr. Hershner to adopt the resolution.
Councilman Murray favored the increase in rates, recognizing the vital importance of
cabs as a part of the transportation system. However, he wondered whether there should
be consideration of direct subsidization for some people who depend on that type of
transportation and cannot afford the high rates they may be faced with.
Councilwoman Campbell asked why the City set taxi rates. Manager a~swered that it was
possibly because of use of city streets as an area for doing business and it w.as a
licensing process somewhat equivalent to a franchising process in recognition of its
being a type of commercial activity necessary to serve the general public; it also
serves to keep rates at a level where the cab companies could stay in business and
provide a stable taxi service without the cutthroat competition which could prevail.
He added that setting the rates was required by City ordinance, but that was sub-
ject to change by the Council. It was brought out that a review of licensing practices
of some other cities indicated a large majority do control taxi rates.
Vote was taken on the motion to adopt the resolution. Motion carried
unanimously.
Resolution No. 2245 - Authorizing increase in Airport Limousine rate from
$1.75 to $2.00 each way between the Eugene Hotel and
the Airport was read by number and title only.
Manager explained that an audit review of the company's books revealed that it
operated at a loss in 1971 and 1973. Further, the owner was not paying himself for
his services. The change to $2.00 each way was recommended.
Public hearing was held with no testimony presented.
Mr. Williams moved seconded by Mr. Hershner to adopt the resolution. Motion
carried unanimously.

Pub Hrng
Request was received from garbage collectors through the Garbage Board for increase
in collection rates to meet rising costs of operation. Letter from the collectors
was read. Staff found the increases requested were in line with rates in other
cities as of June 1973.
Public hearing was heldwlth no testimony presented.
Resolution No. 2246 - Authorizing increase in garbage collection rates - basic
residential rate for one 32-gallon can once a week, $2.85
per.month, was read by number arid title only.
Mr. Williams moved seconded by Mr. Hershner to adopt the resolution.
Councilwoman Beal inquired about provision for picking up small amounts of trash such
as yard clippin&s. Manager reviewed the rates for that type of pickup, charged on an

hourly basis, and the restrictions on the type of material and size of loads.
Finance Director pointed out that rates included in the resolution, previously
distributed to Council members, included only those which were being changed.
Councilman McDonald was concerned about the. number of elderly people not accumulat-
ing enough trash to fill the standard can picked up weekly. He wondered whether
there was provision for twice-a-month collection. Finance Director answered that
the Garbage Board felt there was not enough demand to set a rate for that type
collection. He pointed out the rate set for once-a-month pickup. Manager added ~
that the Garbage Board probably would .be willing to consider setting a biweekly rate
for pickup if the Council so desired.
Chair directed staff to convey to the Garbage Board a request for consideration of
a biweekly pickup rate.
Vote was taken on the motion to adopt the resolution. Motion carried
unanimously.
D. Liquor License - Grand Central Station; 846 West 2nd Avenue (RMB-Marion Nixon)
OLCC poll of neighborhood of the new location for the .former Watergate Tavern,
2000 West 11th. Avenue, revealed 13 objected to the proposal, 5 did not. City
staff report indicated no reason to deny endorsement.
:a-
Public hearing was opened.
Speaking against location of the tavern at the proposed location were:
Burton Davis, 196 Monroe Street
William Havner,: 191 Monroe Street
Marion ~arks, 212 Monroe Street
None felt a tavern was needed at that location because of condition of the street
and deteriorating effect it would have on the neighborhood. They considered the
number of taverns in that vicinity too many at the present time.
Public hearing was closed, there being no further testimony presented.
~anager.noted one written objection to the .tavern received from Mr. and Mrs. Frank
McCullough, 211 Monroe Street. He explained that the building to house the tavern
does not at the present time meet necessary conditions and would ~ave to be brought
up to code before a certificate of occupancy was issued. He added that there was
some indication that the applicant was unwilling to sign an affidavit of nondis-
crimination.
t.ii . ,
:.~
Mr. Williams moved seconded by Mr. Hershner to indicate to the OLCC.
that the proposed location is not deemed an appropriate site for a
tavern under present circumstances.
In making the motion Mr. Williams noted that the applicant made no statement in
favor of the application, 13 of 18 contacted were opposed to its proposed location,
the building was not satisfactory in.its present condition, and there appear~d to
be problems with obtaining an affidavit of nondiscriminatioTh.from the applic~pt.
Councilman Hershner wondered whether any Council members had looked at the site
and whether the property's zone would accommodate that type of business. Manager
replied that the Council had not seen the property. There is residential zoning
nearby, he said, but zone lines have not been checked to determine whether they
are located in the commercial zone in which the proposed tavern would be located.
Vote was taken on the motion to give a negative endorsement. Motion
carried, all Council members present voting aye, except Councilman Keller
abstaining.

Award of contract to the low bidder was recommended.
Public hearing was held with no testimony presented.
Mr. Williams moved seconded by Mr. Hershner to award contract to the
low bidder (Mulheim's Clark Electric - $35,673.98).
Councilman McDonald wondered why lights were being installed for recreational
activities in view of the energy crisis. Manager recommended going ahead with
the project even though some curtailment in lighting might become necessary in
the future. He said that with the inability to obtain gasoline the City's
recreational facilities were experiencing rapidly increasing demands, particularly
softball fields. He added that the present energy crisis was expected to be
temporary, in terms of years, and the installation proposed would last for many
years to come. Also, unnecessary electrical use was being cut in other areas
where it would not affect the overall program.
Councilwoman Beal wondered whether funds for the installation were included _
in this year's budget and whether it would be practical to postpone the installa-
tion until more information was available on the amount of electrical energy it
would call for. Councilman Murray noted that the area in which the lighting was
proposed was one which had very minimal recreation facilities and he. favored going
ahead. He said there was a lot of community interest expressed in this develop-
ment and that he thought there were other solutions to the energy crisis. He
added that the gasoline shortage seemed to make an even stronger demand for
neighborhood recreational facilities within easy walking distance. Councilman
Hershner called attention to the seasonal use of the ballfield, that it would
be used more during the summer evenings when other demands on electrical energy
would not be so great.
Rollcall vote was taken on the motion as stated. Motion carried, all
councilmen present voting aye.

! leading. The intent was that the two "nonmembers" would b
fo th . e lay people. Qualifications)
: r e appo~ntees would be determined by the respective Councils.
!Mrs. Real asked how the expense would be met for the c t 1
th '. en ra office proposed for
1 e,comm~ss~on. Councilman Hershner, member of the regional sewer committee pro-
lpos~ng the contract, answered that expense of the commission was to b d
tween E S. f' e prorate be-
: ugene, pn~g ~eld, and Lane County. He added that Springfield peo le had
Iq~:lms about crea:~ng another governmental structure, however the inteilt w~s to pro-
v~ e a cent~al po~nt ~nd a designated person to whom inquiries and comments could be
! addressed w~t~out hanng to deal with each. agency separately. It was thought some
jstaff person ~n one of the governmental units would be delegated that responsibility.
'Mrs. Beal then referred to the provision for hearings to be conducted by the com-
'mission and noted there was no provision for appeal from a commission d ' .
;s~e wonde~ed too whether in the event'of an individual complaint regard;~~s~~~~rty

jt~as explained that for the individual there is'tne same relationship between
:this commission and the Council as exists between the Planning Commission and
lCouncil. Two public meetings and two public hearings are held which should give
'adequate protection to the individual against an arbitrary decision. The next step
iwould be a court challenge.
.
Mrs. Beal asked about the type of financial plans to be adopted. Public Works
,Director answered that the contract under discussion would not in itself provide
for adoption of any specific financial plan. The contract is an interim agreement
to provide for co-ordination in the formulation of plans and policies having to do
with a unified regional sewer service. Until regional sewerage regulations are
adopted each council will act on recommendations from the commission, and the
regular budgeting procedure will be followed.
In answer to Mrs. Beal's question about the signature line for chairman of the
Springfield Utility Board, Manager replied that approval of the Board is required
since it is responsible for Springfield's sewerage treatment; the city of Springfield
itself is responsible only for sewer lines.
..
;Councilwoman Campbell asked whether creation of the Advisory Commission would at
Bome future time put the cities "out of the sewer business," and if bonds were to
be issued how they would be handled. Manager-explained the intent was to provide
regional sewer service by the cities through contractual arrangement rather than
creating another agency such as a metropolitan sewer district. Lane County could
!create a county service district for financing purposes only, and that district coul~
i~pbmit issues to people living within the district. However, it would seem less
lcumbersome for the two cities to join together in submitting one bond issue to voters.
~in a single election, the majority to prevail. Manager added that a proposed statute
\
).which would allow that type of bond election is being submitted to the Legislature,
Land there is understanding that it would be introduced at the special session.
I:" _ _..___~ '..

Icouncilwoman Beal asked whether a bond issue would be prorated on the same basis
las provided in the contract for other expenses. She wonder~d too whether areas
I
Iwanting sewerage service would have to be annexed. She felt it would be unfair to
juse Eugene and Springfield bonding capacities to provide service to areas outside
Ithe two cities' limits. Public Works Director explained that there is no plan at
ithis time for financial arrangements. The purpose of the contract is to set up the
[Commission which will make r~Q9mmendations to the several agencies in that respect.
;Councilman Hershner said t~t extension of services to unincorporated areas is one
'of the problems to be faced by the commission. Contractual arrangement is one
I' al terna ti ve and it is assumed charges under a contract, wouLd be adfl(JuC!t~.~ cover
cost of the extension. - -. _ ' j
I _\
Icouncilwoman Campbell asked what the status of the current policy not to extend
lsewer service beyond the urban service boundaries would be under the contract.
:Councilman Hershner answered that there would be no change. Public Works Director
[stressed the importance of recognizing the main points not covered by the agreement
iunder discussion. It would. not resolve the present Santa Clara/River Road problem,
:nor does it change the present policy calling for annexation in order to havefsewer;-
,service. Neither does it adopt the Bartle Wells report as a financial plan. One
!of the main charges to the commission would be to make recommendations on the type I
.1
of financial plan to follow. He added that the contract does not change the status i
of the East Bank Trunk, nor does it bind the two cities to providing sewer service
lin the urban service area. Details of all those situations are to be worked out-;
by the proposed cOIr1I!!!ssion. _ Mayor Anderso~ said the contract in reality wou~den=-___J

F. Charter Amendment, Alley Assessment policy ~-Copies-of-resolution were previOUSly
furnished Council members which would submit to the voters an amendment to the City
Charter which will remove from the Charter front footage as a basis for calculating;
,alley assessments and allow adoption by ordinance of a new assessment formula for.
ialley paving. The Council subcommittee (Beal, Hershner, Bradshaw) proposing the
:Charter amendment indicated it would recommend that zoning districts be included as
. a factor in calculating assessments for alley paving if the voters approve the
amendment.
:Manager explained that it should be recognized that if an ordinance is adopted as
1 proposed a substantially greater charge will be assessed against multiple-family
; properties wi th access from alleys to parking areas. Therefore, in cases. of more
i heavily used alleys not being maintained, the Council may be faced with initiation
: of improvement projects because of probable reluctance on the part of rental or
: qommercial property owners to petition paving in view of the increased cost.
.-
: Mrs. Beal moved seconded by Mr. Williams to adopt the resolution submitting proposed
i, Charter amendment to the voters.
Comm
1'/2/74
In making the motion Mrs. Beal explained that the amendment does not bind the City A~prove
to any specific method of assessment for alley improvement. It would only delete .
the Charter provision that front footage of abutting properties shall be the
. basis for calculating alley assessments, thereby giving the opportunity to relieve
: some of the cost against single-family properties for alley'improvement when that
rimprovement is primarily for the benefit of apartment or commercial uses.
/
\Manager explained staff concerns about changing assessment policy, recognizing
~. council's concerns about inequi tabili ty of the present method. Sta.ff feels that
;Changing policy on only alley assessments could raise questions about the policy
on street assessments which is felt to be supportable on the basis of past legal
:action and the many assessments processed by the Council. Staff is reluctant to ,
isee method of ass~ssment set by ordinance since it could result in frequent changes
:made in response to frequent apparent inequities, whereas the present Charter pro-
:vision has been acceptably fair over a period of many years. Manager added that the
:subcommittee proposal does meet the Council's concerns and the City Attorney has ex~i
pressed the opinion that the hazard of jeopardizing the street paving assessment ~
iprocess is not one which need stan~ i~ the way of proceeding with the amendment.

: Councilman Murray thought the general direction of the proposal was to open the "\
jassessment ,process to give more latitude. He said the subcommittee had proposed
: land use as one factor on which to base assessments which could be discussed if (
'the amendment is approved. He wondered whether the subcommittee had taken into \
: consideration street assessment policy which the Council had referred to it since \
' the original charge to study alley aSSessments. Councilwoman Beal answered that
:it was Orval Etter's opinion (City Attorney!s office) that there was doubt about '
I the constitutionality of the present Charter provision for assessments because of .~
: inadequate definition of the term "benefit." For that reason he felt streets .
ishould not be included in the ch'!-nge. Mrs. Beal said she thought street assessment
: policy should be included but that the balance of the subcommittee felt the proposed
amendment should 'be limited to alleys since that was the original charge. I
Councilman Willia;"s wair.conceriied about the possible inequJ:ty .between assessm~~ts
!against commercial properties and rental properties under the proposed change.
;He also expressed concern about going to the voters for approval of a change of
/policy without a specific proposal for calculating assessments in the future.
.
Manag7r read that portion of the Attorney's memo referring to different mode of
I.assessment for alley and street improvement should the change be adopted. He said
'there is justification for differentiation since generally a street serves the en-
jtire public. It is assumed that all properties at some time will abut a paved
street and will have paid its share. Alleys generally Serve a limited amount ofo I
the public and are of benefit more directly to the abutting properties than to the I
: general public. City Attorney Johnson added that there is no serious constitutional.'
'question with the present Charter provision. The present method of assessment has
been approved by the Oregon Supreme Court in recent years.
,In answer to Councilman Murray's request for some indication of why the subcommittee
:decided not to recommend a change in street assessment policy also, Councilman
'Hershner said the Council had voiced real concern about inequi ty of alley assess.;....
.ments in .specific instances. The subcommittee found the front.footage basis was
.locked into the Charter,and nothing could be done about changing it without the
:proposed deletion of that restriction. The committee proposed going ahead'knowing
lit had been charged now.with looking into street assessment policy. There seemed
'more .of an urgency on alley assessments because of newassessments~~mi~g along _ .

:Assistant Manager added that al though the question of street ass.essment policy was
!raised in subcommittee, it was decided to respond to the first charge of givinlJ a
irecommendation on alleys on.ly. Meetings are now being scheduled at which the sub-
Icommittee will address the question of street assessments. Mrs. Beal said sne
;felt streets should have been included in the Charter amendmen~ to give an Oppor- .
[tunity to consider the entire assessment picture without having to go through the
election process a second time.

.Councilman Keller felt it would be a waste of time to present theproj?osed Charter
iamendment to the voters without at the same time giving them a specific proposal on
ia method of assessment. Councilman Wood felt public hearings when consideration was
! given to an ordinance setting the assessment method would provide that information
'to the public. He was not opposed to flexibili ty which would be allo..,.ed by the
iCharter amendment in determining alley assessments, but he was opposeci to inclusion
iof streets. He asked whether there was knowledge or alternate method~i used~by other
:cities. Manager described some methods used ,by other citie!!! but saiei' the main .
thrust was to amend the Charter so the Council-could consiaer-methqqs .other than
jfront footage basis for alley assessments.

:assessments in hardship cases were being used, and whether people werE being ad-
vised that, the funds were available. Finance Director answered that c document

,proposal at this time therefore was to remove .the assessment method from the
Charter. By so doing future consideration can 'be given to the most equitable

Councilman Hershner said the subcommittee had proceeded on the assumption that
; method of assessment would better be in ordinance form than a Charter. provision.
He hesitated to submit a proposal to the voters without complete Council agreement.
He said he had considered the deletion as a housekeeping measure (as it had been
referred to) and that he wou.ld not like to go to the voters with the proposal if
it was a controversial issue in the Council. Councilman Keller wondered whether
1 Council members would be able to answer voters' questions with regard to the methods'
, of assessment to be considered if they are asked .to apprqve that flexibility.
: Councilman Williams doubted whether assessing multiple-family properties a larger
: portion of alley improvement costs was the proper direction since in his view it
fin effect would be assessment because of greater income and subsidization of
: lower density kinds of land uses. He thought the assessment deferral program a
better way to aid hardship cases. Mrs. Beal took exception to the question of
'subsidization, saying the City is now subsidizing all types of new housing in the
installation of any public facility such as sewers, streets, intersections, and
the provision of fire and police protection. She argued that single-family prop-
erties abutting an alley across from apartments should not be subsidizing. those
apartments.

..Councilman Murray had no reservations about taking the proposed amendment to the
voters, saying the present method is clearly inequitable and should be changed,
although he would prefer unanimous Council action. He saw no intended or accidental
secrecy about what could be substituted for the front footage basis of assessment
even though the ordinance/under discussion proposing alternate methods had not been
distributed. Councilma~ Hershner recalled that when the alley assessment procedure
,was referred to the s6bcommittee there was no controversy - it was a matter only
;of feeling that the/,present method was inequitable. He felt a routine matter was
now being turned into an issue.
-
Mayor Anderson pointed out that the Council should recognize the voters will have
! to be shown actual goals of the city's assessment policy - that of making assess..:...."
:ments more equitable in hardship cases - by citing specific cases in past assess~
!.ments. The voters will also have to be informed about the deferral fund set ~p ...'
\for hardship cases. Explanation of more facts with regard to the assessment prQ~ :
:~gram will have to be brought out, he said, if the measure is to gain voter ,;,apptc>vaL
'Mrs. Beal noted the length of time alley assessment policy had been under ~i~cu~sion
~and the staff's reluctance to make any change in view of workability of the #f~sent
!method. She stressed the fact that the proposed amendment would not make any change
in any assessment policy at this time. Mayor Anderson made it clear that he was
;speaking neither in opposition nor in favor of the proposal, that he was only point-
.ing out that he thought the Council would be faced with a situation similar to the
:election on Council compensation when a. specific proposal and sufficient information
,were not presented to the voters.
lCouncilman Murray felt it unfortuante that the proposal was discussed as a hardship
!relieving measure. He saw it as a much broader issue, principally one of fairness
fin applying costs for alley improvements in relation to use, not in relation to
income of the property owner.

Ires~dents ask~ng that stop s~gns, an overpass, or traffic signals be placed for
:control of 30th Avenue traffic at Agate Street. Since 30th Avenue at that location
lis a County road, staff reported at that time on the proposed County project to
'widen 30th Avenue to four lanes with provision for a left-turn lane at Agate. Also
prOPOsed was improved sight clearance by moving the intersection farther to the east.
'The Oak Hills Homeowners Association traffic committee was not satisfied with the ~J
-~;~~t~ proP6sal and asked Council consideration of their concerns. Copies .of memo
ifrom Traffic Engineer were previously distributed to Council stating (1) City staff'
ragreement with the County's proposal, (2) there appears to be no justification at
this time for traffic signal installation, and (3) should there b~ signalization
.in the future it would be the County's responsibility.

\at the 30th and Agate intersection because of interference with traffic flow of

Mrs. John Ruddy, 3614 Agate Street, said that County studies indicated 100 ca~s an
hour were passing through the intersection, and the average speed on 30th Avenue was
58 mph. She added that residents of the area felt the County project was not the
'ideal solution and that it was a City responsibility. She wondered whether something
could be done to make the 32nd and Hilyard intersection more efficient if that was
the route which was to be used for people avoiding the 30th and Agate intersection.

In answer to questions from the Council, Traffic Engineer said he had no knowledge
'of the type of traffic count the County conducted to arrive at the 100 cars per
:hour. Assuming it was an approach count, he said, there were many intersections in
the city with higher volumes needing signalization for which no funds were available. :

Copies:i."6f report on traffic volumes through the 30th and Agate and the 32nd and Hilyard
intersections were distributed with agenda to Council members. Traffic Engineer reviewed
results of the studies and said there was nothing to indicate any more substantial problem
as it relates to delay times than is experienced on other arterials in Eugene. There was
no change in staff's opinion that the County proposal for modification of the 30th and
Agate intersection was acceptable.
Mrs. Ruddy wondered whether the studies took into account the class changes at Lane Com-
munity College resulting in "peak" hours about every hour of the day. TrafficEngineer
answered that peak hours considered for delay times were 7:00 to 9:00 ~.m. and 4:00 to
6:00 p.m. which were judged the periods of heaviest travel.on 30th. He agreed there could
be delays because of peaks occurring upon class changes.

Councilman Murray noted there was some confusion with regard to the citizen participation
plans to be submitted to counties under recent State land use legislation. He asked for
further clarification. Planning Director said that County indicated they are working with
LCOG in setting up a citizen participation element as reported by the ,League of Oregon Cities.
He added that the 1990 Plan does comply with requirements of the legislation at this time
and is considered adequate until guidelines and goals are set up by the State.
Councilman Murray wondered whether LCOG's work would include elements aside from the
1990 Plan which would affect citizen participation in Eugene~ He asked that the City's
representatives in LCOG keep the Council informed as the citizen participation plans were
worked out. Mayor Anderson said he would take the matter up with LCOG at the first

v - Adoption of findings of fact - Denial of appeal of Robert Meltebeke for use of
property at 2136 Rocky Lane for storage of building construction materials
Denial of Zoning Board of Appeal for use of property at 2136 Rocky Lane for storage of
building construction materials was upheld by the Council on November 26, 1973. Final
action was to include findings of fact upon which the Council based its decision.
Copies of the findings were distributed to Council members with recommendation that
they be adopted.
Councilman Hershner asked whether. Mr. Meltebeke had been advised the findings would be
consider'ed at this meeting. It was learned that the item had been discussed with
Mr. Meltebeke through the Public Works Department and that he was aware it was on the
agenda.
Councilwoman Beal wondered whether it would be better to postpone action, saying she
wasn't sure proper procedures had been followed. Stan Long,. city attorney's office,
said there was no anticipation that the Council would entertain additional testimony;
that Mr. Meltebeke's presence would seem only to serve the purpose of answering questions.
In legal practice; he said, there would not be that opportun~ty.
Councilwoman Beal asked whether she was obligated to vote with the majority of the
Council on adoption of the findings of fact in view of her having voted against the
decision to deny the appeal. Or whether .inabstaining reasons for so doing would have
.to be given. "Mayor Anderson replied that an affirmative vote on adoption of the findings
would s~em in order if one agreed with them, but that he felt if one abstained and was
challenged by another member of the Council then there would be an obligation to give
the reason.
Councilman Williams commented that the action to deny the appeal when the issue was
previously considered included the instruction for staff to prepare findings of fact
for adoption by the Council. Consideration of those findings at this meeting was in.
conformance with that action; there was no change in the decision, he said.
Mr. Williams moved seconded by Mr. Hershner to adopt by reference thereto
findings of fact as presented by staff. Motion carried, Councilmen Williams,
McDonald, Campbell, Keller, Murray, and Wood voting aye; Councilmen Hershner
