The adjourned meeting of October 15, 1986, of the City Council of the City of Eugene, Oregon, was called to order by His Honor Mayor Brian B. Obie. I. REPORT OF 1986 EUGENE SISTER CITY DELEGATION TO KAKEGAWA, JAPAN Mayor Obie said the 1986 Eugene Sister City delegation to Kakegawa, Japan, represented the City with flair, enthusisiam, and clarity. He introduced Ted Baker, chairperson of the Sister City Committee, who said the delegation left the United States on September 30, 1986, and returned on October 15, 1986. He said Mayor Obie and Mrs. Obie provided excellent leadership for the delegation. e Mr. Baker introduced delegation members Henry Rust, Hope Pressman, Karen Obie, and Gretchen Pierce. Mr. Rust discussed the meetings he, Vicki Dietmeyer, and Mayor Obie had with Japanese business people. Ms. Dietmeyer is Executive Director of the Metropolitan Partnership. Ms. Pressman discussed the delegation1s visit to the Kakegawa City Hall. She said Mayor Obie's speech to the Kakegawa City Council was enthusiastically received. Ms. Pierce discussed the establishment of a sister-school relationship between a Japanese middle school and Eugene's Shasta Middle School. Ms. Obie discussed her visit in the home of the Mayor of Kakegawa and his wife. Mr. Baker submitted a scrap book containing pictures of the trip and Ms. Pressman submi tted a copy of a Japanese newspaper article about the delegation to the council. Mr. Baker suggested the council watch a video tape of the delegation's visit some other time. He displayed framed, handmade copies of the Kakegawa and Eugene City emblems and a photograph of Mount Fuji that were gifts to the City of Eugene from the City of Kakegawa. He presented the gifts to Mayor Obie and said they symbolize gratitude for the delegation's visit and the sister city relationship. Mr. Baker said the sister city relationship has cultural and educational value and should be nurtured diligently by the City Council and the Sister City Committee. He said each delegation should have an official representative of the Mayor and council, each delegation should discuss economic development with the people of Kakegawa, and student, civic club, and other types of exchange programs between the two cities should be encouraged. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 27, 1986 Page 1 Mayor Obie thanked Mr. Baker and the other delegation members for their report to the council. Mayor Obie said he hopes there will be many exchanges between e Eugene and Kakegawa. He said Eugeneans can learn much from Kakegawans and Eugene's economy will be related to the economies of Japan and other Southeast Asian nations for the next 100 years. Mr. Holmer said he has been in Kakegawa twice. He thanked Mayor Obie and other members of the 1986 delegation for representing the City so well. II. PUBLIC HEARING: WILLAMETTE GREENWAY CODE REVISIONS City Manager Mi chea 1 Gleason introduced consideration of the Willamette Greenway Code Revisions. Planning Director Susan Brody gave the staff report. She said the proposed code revisions respond to concerns raised by the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) during its evaluation of the Metropolitan Area General Plan Periodic Review. Ms. Brody said the Planning Commission studied the DLCD concerns, reviewed the testimony from two public hearings, and unanimously recommended the proposed revisions to the council. She said the revisions continue to require approval of a conditional use permit for development within the Willamette Greenway but the revisions modify and clarify the criteria which must be met when the request for a conditional use permit is considered. The revisions clarify how proposed development must conform to the Metro Pl an, how use management considerations in Statewi de Goal 15 (Willamette River Greenway) apply to proposed development, and how the term "greatest possible degree" should be interpreted. e Ms. Brody said the DLCD staff reviewed the revisions recommended by the Planning Commission and expressed two concerns. They suggested the revisions requi re a defi nite setback from the ri ver and they said the term "greatest possible degree" in Section 9.260 (2) should be defined better. Ms. Brody sa i d the DLCD staff indicated that they might raise the issue of the definition of "greatest possible degree" to the Land Use Board of Appeals if the Planning Commission's recommendation is not changed. Therefore, the City Attorney and the Planning staff recommended the following change to Section 9.260 (2) on page 3 of the proposed ordinance. (Words in parentheses should be deleted. Underlined words should be added.) As used in this section, the words lithe greatest possible degree" are drawn from Statewide Planning Goal 15 (F.3.b) and are intended to require a balancing of factors so that each of the identified Greenway criteria is protected to the greatest extent possible without (unreasonably burdening an otherwise permissable urban) precluding the requested use. Goal 15 (C.3.j.) provides that "lands committed to urban uses within the Greenway shall be permitted to continue as urban uses. II Ms. Brody said the criteria and standards in the revisions address most of the concerns of the DLCD about setback standards and no change to the Planning Commission recommendation is needed in that regard. She sa i d a specific - MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 27, 1986 Page 2 setback from the river has not been considered appropriate for Eugene because the community has wanted proposed developments to be considered on a case-by- case basis. She said future refinement plans will establish additional e setback criteria for the Greenway. Answering questions from Ms. Ehrman and Ms. Bascom, Ms. Brody said the DLCD Field Representative for this area indicated that the term "precluding the requested" and the other changes recommended by the staff are acceptable to the DLCD. Replying to a question from Mr. Holmer about Section 9.260 (4) on page 2 of the ordinance, Ms. Brody said the natural vegetative fringe of the river should be protected and improved but the DLCD probably would approve the deletion of "and enhancement." Ms. Wooten said she does not know how the term "greatest possible degree" will be interpreted. Responding to her concern, Ms. Brody said Statewide Goal 15 does not define "greatest possible degree. II She said there wi 11 be some subjectivity in its interpretation but the proposed revisions give guidance and the standards in the code are clear about what should be protected in the Greenway. Mr. Sercombe added that each proposed development wi 11 be evaluated. Ms. Brody said the Eugene Park.s Master Plan includes a recommendation that a use management plan will be developed for the Greenway. The Planning Department could begin a refinement plan for all the Greenway within the city's boundaries in a year. Answering questions from Mr. Hansen, Ms. Brody said the revisions require that the natura 1 vegetative fringe along the river be protected. They prohibit e actions that would harm the fringe, but minor changes, such as a fishing dock or a cleared river bank as in Alton Saker Park, would be permitted. Mr. Sercombe said intrusions into the fringe for water-related or water- dependent uses would be permitted. Ms. Bascom said wise intrusions into the river's vegetative fringe have been made. For example, grass is planted to the water's edge in the George Owens Rose Garden and the river1s bank has been stabilized in several places with rock and stone. She said it is important that such things be allowed. Ms. Brody said the recommended change would not preclude such things. Mayor Obie said Eugene is an urban center and enhancement of the river bank might be included in the design of some developments. Ms. Brody responded that developments must conform to Statewide Goal 15. Mr. Sercombe said all 1 and wi th in the urban growth boundary is considered urban land. New developments that conform to the conditional use permit criteria are permitted. Mayor Obie opened the public hearing. Al Urquhart, 1820 Olive, said he has the same concerns expressed by the DLCD. He recommended approval of the change recommended by the staff, but he suggested the words "precluding the permitted" use be substituted for "precluding the requested" use. He said a requested use may not be permitted. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 27, 1986 Page 3 He said the two inventories added by the revisions are good but the revisions do not contain a statement indicating that development will be- directed away from the river to the greatest possible degree. He said such a statement e should be included. If it is not, "urban usesll shoul d be defi ned because the intent of Goal 15 is that existing uses in the Greenway should continue and new urban uses should be prohibited. Mr. Urquhart said the proposed ordinance should not be approved because it does not include sufficient standards for development in the Greenway. For example, would a heavy industrial use be permitted on land zoned for it in the Riverfront Research Park? He said the ordinance should also include all the DLDC suggestions. For examp 1 e, it should designate the uses permitted in rural and urban areas. He also said all open spaces should be zoned "open space.1I Richard Gold, #58, 907 River Road, submitted a statement from Nan Cohen, 907 River Road, to the council. Referring to Section 9.260 (d) (3) concerning the protection of significant fish and wildlife habitats, Mr. Gold said the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife should not be required to determine significant sites. He said Eugene officials should determine significant wetlands. He read from hi s testimony at the September 9, 1986, public hearing of the Planning Commission and said the testimony had not been addressed. In his testimony he had urged protection of wetlands and groundwater. He sa i d there is a proposa 1 to develop a golf course along the Wi 1 lamette River and the chemicals which might be used to maintain grass could be a problem. e Barbara Kelley, 540 Kingswood, said she would like to submit written testimony about the code revisions to the council. Mayor Obie replied that the public hearing probably will be closed tonight but all citizens may correspond with the counci 1. Ms. Kelley said she agreed with Mr. Urquhart and Mr. Gold. She said the Willamette River is the home of waterfowl and it should be protected to the maximum. There being no additional requests to testify, Mayor Obie closed the public hearing. Answering questions from Ms. Bascom, Ms. Brody said the phrase IIprecluding the permi tted use" is ambi guous because a use is not really permi tted in the Greenway until a conditional use permit has been issued. Mr. Sercombe said "permitted usell might mean any of the uses which the zoning code permits in each zoning district. He said the purpose of the phrase IIprecluding the requested use" is to make sure that the cri teri a in Goal 15 are used to evaluate each development proposal. He read the statement in Goal 15 about directing development away from the river to the greatest possible degree. He said Goal 15 does not require development to be oriented away from the river if the development is in an urban area and receives a conditional use permit because all areas within the urban growth boundary are committed to urban uses. - MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 27, 1986 Page 4 Responding to a question from Ms. Ehrman and Ms. Schue, Mr. Sercombe said the Statewide Goals contain a definition of lands committed to urban uses and that e definition was used when the urban growth boundary was designated. Ms. Brody said the criteria for a Greenway conditional use permit restrict uses that might be permitted in zoning districts in other areas. Mr. Sercombe said the Greenway boundary is at least 150 feet from the river. Mr. Hansen said the Willamette River is one of the community.s greatest assets and it should be used by appropriate development. He discussed development on rivers in other cities that enhances the urban setting of the cities. He suggested Section 9.260(d)(4) be reworded to indicate that development should be sensitive to the natural vegetative fringe. Ms. Bascom said she hopes the Riverfront Research Park Commission will not permit too much development near the Autzen Bridge. She emphasized that other areas in the park are available. CB 2916--An ordinance concerning the Willamette Greenway; and amending Section 9.260 of the Eugene Code, 1971. Mr. Hansen moved, seconded by Ms. Ehrman, that the changes to CB 2916 recommended by the staff be accepted and that the bill be read the second time by council bill number only, with unanimous consent of the council, and that enactment be considered at this time. Ms. Wooten said she is concerned about the lack of standards in the ordinance. Ms. Brody responded that the ordinance clearly requires public access to the e river and protection of the vegetative fringe. Responding to a comment from Mr. Holmer, Ms. Brody recommended that Section 9.260(d)(4) be changed to (Underlined words should be added.): 4. Protection and enhancement of the natural vegetative fringe along the river to the maximum extent practicable. Mr. Hansen and Ms. Ehrman agreed to include the change to Section 9.260(d)(4) in the motion. Ms. Wooten said the addition of lito the maximum extent practicable" would weaken the protection. She sa i d the issue is difficult and she barely supported the revisions, but the last change is unacceptable to her. Roll call vote; the motion carried, 6:2 with Councilors Hansen, Schue, Holmer, Bascom, Rutan, and Miller voting aye and Councilors Wooten and Ehrman voting nay. Because of the vote, the second reading of the bill was held over to the next City Council meeting. e. MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 27, 1986 Page 5 III. ORDINANCE FOR SECOND READING: ORDINANCE ADOPTING THE EUGENE ENTRANCE BEAUTIFICATION STUDY e CB 2915--An ordinance adopting the Eugene Entrance Beautification Study. Mr. Hansen moved, seconded by Ms. Ehrman, that the bill be approved and given final passage. Roll call vote; the motion carried 7:1 with Councilors Hansen, Ehrman, Schue, Wooten, Bascom, Rutan, and Miller voting aye and Councilor Holmer voting nay; therefore, the bill was declared passed (and became Ordinance No. 19418). IV. FINDINGS/MINUTES AND RESOLUTION FOR WILLAKENZIE ROAD PROJECT City Manager Mike Gleason introduced the item. Les Lyle of the Public Works Department gave the staff report. He distributed a chart showing the process for City eouncil-initiated improvement proj ects in which a remonstrance petition is processed. He said the Willakenzie Road improvement project was placed in the City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) because of requests from parents in the neighborhood, the Harlow Neighbors, and the Bicycle Committee. A staff hearing in the neighborhood was held on September 3, 1986, and the Hearings Official held a hearing at which affected property owners testified on October 9, 1986. He said the proposed project is to widen Willakenzie Road to a width of 46 feet. Curbs, gutters, sidewalks, street lights, and storm sewers are included in the project. He said Willakenzie Road should be 46 feet wide because it will ultimately be a collector street e serving the area between Coburg Road and 1-5. Mr. Lyle said Willakenzie Road is now 20 feet wide with roadside ditches. The surface is deteriorating. Most of the property east of Willakenzie School is vacant although the Kings West Subdivision is being developed west of Bogart Street. There are sanitary sewers in the area. Mr. Lyle said property owners expressed opposition to the project as described in the CIP because it extended to the Kings West Subdivision. They said improvement of the road to the subdivision is not justified. Mr. Lyle said the staff studied the area in response to the testimony and found there is very little traffic east of the school. The staff recommended to the Hearings Official's hearing that the street improvement be terminated at the east boundary of Willakenzie School. He sa i d the a rea from Coburg Road to the school is fully developed and the improvement will address the concerns of parents, the neighborhood group, and the Bicycle Committee. The Heari ngs Official approved the shorter project based on testimony received at the hearing. Mr. Lyle said two remonstrance petitions have been received. On the fi rst petition, 39 percent of the property owners on Willakenzie Road opposed the improvement to Kings West Subdivision and 20 percent of them opposed the improvement only to the school. On the second petition, 52.5 percent of the property owners on Willakenzie Road opposed the improvement to the subdivision e MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 27, 1986 Page 6 and 49 percent opposed the improvement to the school. He said he expects another remonstrance petition to be submitted before the bids for the project - are awarded. He said most of the petition signers are concerned about the cost of the project. Mr. Lyle said the code provides some equity for owners of developed property on streets which will carry more than just neighborhood traffic. Thus, the property owners along Willakenzie Road will be assessed for a 20-foot wide street only. In subdivisions, property owners are assessed for 28-foot wide streets. Answering questions from Mr. Hansen, Mr. Lyle said the staff did not propose constructing only sidewalks along Willakenzie Road because rights-of-way would have to be acquired for sidewalks and the rights-of-way would be where the roadside ditches are now. Consequently, the utilities would have to be relocated and storm sewers would have to be constructed. He reiterated that property owners will be assessed only for a 20-foot wide street. He sa i d School District 4-J officials indicated at the Hearings Official's hearing that they do not plan to close Willakenzie School. They said attendance at the school may increase because of increased residential development in the area. , Res. No. 4011--A resolution authorizing paving, storm sewers, sidewalks, and street lights on Willakenzie Road from Coburg Road to the east boundary of Willakenzie school (s.w. corner of George W. Armitage DLC No. 43). e Mr. Hansen moved, seconded by Ms. Ehrman, to approve the findings and minutes of the Hearings Official dated October 9, 1986, and adopt the resolution. Mr. Hansen said the project is in his ward. He said he will support the motion because Willakenzie Road is dangerous for school children because they must walk on the road. However, he would prefer to construct sidewalks only because the existing road surface is about average for residential streets in the commun i ty . He suggested the council consider the policy of such road improvement in 1987. Mr. Miller said he will support the motion but he is concerned about an perceived inequity between the cost of street improvements in developed areas and undeveloped areas. He said the value of some developed, residential properties has gone down but the cost of street improvements has not decreased and the assessments for street improvements do not reflect the decreases in property values. He would like to know why the cost of street improvements continues to increase and he would like a comparison of improvements in developed and undeveloped areas. Ms. Schue said assessments for street improvements are based on property values. If property va 1 ues go down, the tax bill s of property owners decrease. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 27, 1986 Page 7 Ms. Bascom said property owners used to be assessed for the actual width of streets constructed along their properties, e.g. , 46-foot improvement e cost/front foot. The policy of assessing property owners for only 20-foot wide streets on streets such a s Wi 11 a kenz i e wa s enacted to correct an inequity. Roll call vote; the motion carried unanimously, 8:0. Mr. Gleason said the council will consider the improvement again if another remonstrance petition is received. At that time, two-thirds of the council must support the improvement if it is approved. V. ORDINANCES AMENDING SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS Ci ty Manager Mi chea 1 Gl eason introduced the item. He sa i d the proposed ordinance will lower the pre-assessments. CB 2917--An ordinance concerning assessments for sanitary and storm sewers in Nixon Street from 24th Avenue to 25th Avenue; amending Ordinance No. 19344, and declaring an emergency. CB 2918--An ordinance concerning assessments for paving Cheshire Avenue from Madison Street to Jefferson Street; amending Ordinance No. 19228, and declaring an emergency. e Mr. Hansen moved, seconded by Ms. Ehrman, that the bills be read the second time by council bill number only, with unanimous consent of the council, and that enactment be considered at this time. Roll call vote; the motion carried unanimously, 8:0. Council Bills 2917 and 2918 were read the second time by council bill numbers only. Mr. Hansen moved, seconded by Ms. Ehrman, that the bills be approved and given final passage. Roll call vote; all councilors present voting aye, the bills were declared passed (and became Ordinance Nos. 19419 (CB 2917) and 19420 (CB 2918)). Mayor Obie recessed the meeting for five minutes at 9:10 p.m. VI. BALLOT MEASURE 51, EUGENE NUCLEAR-FREE ZONE City Manager Micheal Gleason introduced the item. Several people in the audience raised placards indicating an opinion about Ballot Measure 51. Mayor Obie told them that an ordinance prohibits placard displays at council meetings. He asked people to take down the placards. e, MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 27, 1986 Page 8 Answering a question from someone in the audience, Mayor Obie said the council was not holding a public hearing on Ballot Measure 51; consequently, the e council would not hear testimony. Glen Potter of the Intergovernmental Relations Division gave the staff report. He said passage of Ballot Measure 51 would result in Eugene becoming a nuclear-free zone. He said the council discussed the measure on August 13, 1986, and tabled action on a resolution urging people to oppose Measure 51. He said the Council Committee on Economic Diversification di scussed the measure and decided to present the issue to the council again. Mr. Potter said Mr. Miller asked the staff to prepare Resolution No. 4012. Mr. Miller said he and Mr. Holmer discussed Measure 51 and decided that the council probably would not agree on reasons to support or oppose the measure. Consequently, the resolution before the council does not include a judgement on a nuclear-free zone. It simply opposes Ballot Measure 51. Res. No. 4012--A resolution opposing Ballot Measure 51. Mr. Hansen moved, seconded by Ms. Ehrman, to adopt the resolution. Ms. Wooten said she had given the issue much thought. She said she does not support some parts of the measure which are technically flawed. Because the issue is so overwhelming and pertinent, she said she asked the City Attorney to consider preparing amendments so that the council could amend the ordinance immediately upon its passage. She said she would oppose the resolution because of the importance of the issue and because the council has an e obligation to take a stand on the issue. Ms. Wooten said there are over 3,000 nuclear-free zones in the world and 118 are in this country. She said declaring a city to be a nuclear-free zone is common sense. It is not daring. She said passage of Measure 51 will not hurt the City's efforts to diversify its economy. She urged other councilors to oppose the resolution. Pointing out that Measure 51 was placed on the ballot by an initiative petition, Ms. Bascom said she favors letting the voters decide about it. She said the measure has some flaws but the initiative process shoul d be respected. Some people in the audience applauded and Mayor Obie asked them to respect the opinions of other people and refrain from demonstrating an opinion. He said the council's rules do not allow demonstrations because the council wishes to be fair to people who support and to people who oppose resolutions. Ms. Schue said she is concerned about the Nuclear Free Zone Board and other things which Measure 51 would require. Answering her question, City Attorney Tim Sercombe said Measure 51 would become a City ordinance if it is passed by the voters. An ordinance can be rescinded or amended by the council. If the measure passes, the City Attorney.s Office will review it and may recommend amendments. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 27, 1986 Page 9 Ms. Schue said Measure 51 is flawed because it contains some provisions that would be unfortunate for the local government. However, in her opinion, the e issue is extremely important. She said she does not want the voters to think she is not concerned about the issue; therefore, she would prefer that the council let the voters debate the issue. She said she will not support the motion. Later in the meeting, Ms. Schue said councilors can support or oppose Measure 51 by working as individuals on political action committees. Mr. Miller pointed out that the full text of the proposed ordinance will not be printed on the ballot and, therefore, the electorate probably will not be educated about the ordinance. He said none of the councilors favors the destruction that nuclear weapons can cause but there is a better process than having citizens vote on a measure they cannot read and then having the council amend the measure after it passes. He said the resolution before the council would depoliticize the issue. He noted that none of the councilors had said the ordinance would be a good one. He did not think the council should send the message that the voters should pass Measure 51. Mr. Holmer said the council shares the responsibility of adopting legislation with the people. He emphasized that the people will not be able to read the ordinance that passage of Measure 51 would enact. He said the voters will only read the intent of the measure1s sponsors. He said the mandate in the ordinance for an election on the first Tuesday of November would violate the State constitution. He said it would be difficult for the council to make the ordinance more reasonable if the measure is passed because such actions would be interpreted as violations of the intent of the people. He said the measure would require the City to annually send a copy of the ordinance to all heads of states that have nuclear arms, to all Oregon's delegates to the U.S. Congress, e and to the City's State representatives. He said no one wants a nuclear war and many people believe nuclear arms should be destroyed but the council owes the voters an opinion that Measure 51 is flawed. Ms. Ehrman said it is unfortunate that the proponents of Measure 51 did not seek the council's advice about the ordinance. She said she will support the resolution because Measure 51 is an initiative petition and the flaws are not so great that the council should oppose it. She said the measure does not include financing for the elected Nuclear-Free Zone Board and volunteers would not have the means to do the work of the board. She said the voters will have to decide the importance of the flaws in the measure. Mr. Rutan said he agrees with Mr. Holmer. Mr. Rutan said Measure 51 is radical and goes so far beyond the way the council approaches community issues that, in his opinion, the council has a responsibility to tell people about it. He emphasized that the voters will not be able to read the ordinance on the ballot. He said he does not support the substance of Measure 51. Roll call vote; the vote was 4:4, with Councilors Holmer, Miller, Rutan, and Hansen voting aye and Councilors Schue, Wooten, Bascom, and Ehrman voting nay. Mayor Obi e said he wi shed the proponents of Measure 51 had presented a proposal that would not embarrass the community. He said the talk of changing e MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 27, 1986 Page 10 a measure approved by the voters is hollow. He said Measure 51 has deep flaws that jeopardize the safety and future of the community. The pa rt that prohi bits the City from participating in any c i v il defense popul at ion e evacuation program exclusively intended to be implemented upon the outbreak or threatened outbreak of nuclear hostilities presupposes good judgement when good judgement might be needed. He said the establishment of a Nuclear-Free Zone Board would add a budget problem and a controversy to the community. He said the notification procedures are redundant and the Nuclear Weapon Free Zone Commemoration Day would send a message in a way that would set the community back. He said he recommends that the citizens reject the measure. He complimented Mr. Miller and Mr. Holmer for developing the resolution. The motion passed 5:4 with Mayor Obie voting aye. VII. ORDINANCE CONCERNING SPECIALTY CODES City Manager Micheal Gleason introduced the proposed ordinance. CB 2919--An ordinance concerning specialty codes; amending Ordinance No. 19413 adopted by the Council and , approved by the Mayor on October 13, 1986; and declaring an emergency. Mr. Hansen moved, seconded by Ms. Ehrman, that the bill be read the second time by council bill number only, with unanimous consent of the council, and that enactment be considered at this time. Roll call vote; the motion e carried unanimously, 8:0. Council Bill 2919 was read the second time by council bill number only. Mr. Hansen moved, seconded by Ms. Ehrman, that the bill be approved and given final passage. Roll call vote; all councilors present voting aye, the bill was declared passed (and became Ordinance No. 19421). VIII. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OF: WORK SESSIONS OF JULY 14, 1986, SEPTEMBER 8, 1986, SEPTEMBER 15, 1986; AND WORK SESSION AND MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 22, 1986 Mr. Hansen moved, seconded by Ms. Ehrman, to approve the Ci ty Council mi nutes of July 14, 1986, September 8, September 15, and September 22, 1986. Roll call vote; the motion carried unanimously, 7:0, with Councilor Holmer abstaining because he was not at the meetings. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 27, 1986 Page 11 - '/ IX. BRIEFING FROM CITY MANAGER ON BALLOT MEASURE 9 e City Manager Micheal Gleason said the City is developing a process to deal with the implementation of Ballot Measure 9 if it passes. He suggested the council put aside other considerations at its November Goal-Setting Session and consider the process and policy guidelines if the measure passes. He said the impact of Measure 9 on the City will be enormous if it passes. Answering questions from Ms. Ehrman and Mayor Obie, Mr. Gleason said the impact of the passage of Ballot Measure 11 if Ballot Measure 12 does not pass is not certain. He said some cities are refinancing bonds quickly because of the possible passage of Measure 9 but Eugene has already done some re- financing and it would not be beneficial to do any more.
