HomeMy WebLinkAbout02/25/1987 Meeting M I NUT E S e Eugene City Council McNutt Room--City Hall February 25, 1987 11 : 45 a. m. COUNCILORS PRESENT: Debra Ehrman, Freeman Holmer, Emily Schue, Cynthia Wooten (11:54 a.m.-2 p.m.), Ruth Bascom, Jeff Miller, Roger Rutan, Robert Bennett (11:50 a.m.-2 p.m.) The adjourned meeting of February 23, 1987, of the City Council of the City of Eugene, Oregon, was called to order by His Honor Mayor Brian B. Obie. I. ITEMS FROM THE COUNCIL, MAYOR, AND CITY MANAGER A. Vandalism Mr. Rutan said there has been much automobile vandalism in his ward. He said he is working with City police officers and Neighborhood Watch groups. He recommended that other councilors urge people to report acts of vandalism to the Police, Fire and Emergency Services Department. B. Lane County Extension Service e Ms. Bascom said the council may be asked by the Lane County Board of Commissioners to consider the creation of a special service district to fund the Lane County Extension Service. She said 40 percent of the privately-owned forest land in the state is owned by people who Qwn small parcels and the extension service is very helpful to those people. She said the extension service should not be disbanded because of lack of funds. Mayor Obie said he agreed that the Lane County Extension Service is important but he does not favor the creation of a special district to support it. Ms. Schue said she asked the staff to schedule the proposal as a public hearing. C. Federal Emergency Management Agency Exercises Mayor Obie said Governor Goldschmidt has refused permission for Oregon communities to take part in Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) exercises that measure the ability of civil defense organizations to react to a nuclear attack. Mayor Obie said participation in such exercises is prohibited by the Eugene Nuclear Free Zone Ordinance. He said he supports the prohibition in the ordinance and he supports Governor Goldschmidt's decision. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council February 25, 1987 Page 1 e Mayor Obie suggested the council direct the staff to draft a resolution that indicates the city's voters have stated they do not wish to participate in preparing for a nuclear war and that urges the Lane County Board of Commissioners to decide not to participate in the exercises. Mr. Miller said he supports consideration of the resolution Mayor Obie suggested. Ms. Bascom pointed out that City Manager Micheal Gleason has stated publicly that there is no way to prepare for a nuclear war. Answering a question from Mr. Holmert Mr. Gleason said the City has not accepted funds from FEMA because acceptance would have required preparation for survival after a nuclear attack. D. Future Council Meetings City Manager Micheal Gleason said the agendas for City Council meetings on March 9 and 11 are very full. He suggested the councilors consider meeting on March 16 if they are not able to address all the items on the March 9 and 11 agendas. Several councilors said they will not be able to attend a meeting on March 16. Mr. Gleason said March 19t 1987 t has been suggested as a time for the councilors to meet with the Springfield City Council and the Lane County Board of Commissioners to discuss intergovernmental issues. Several councilors said they will not be able to attend a meeting on March 19. e II. APPOINTMENTS TO NUCLEAR FREE ZONE TASK FORCE/AMENDMENT TO NUCLEAR FREE ZONE ORDINANCE City Manager Micheal Gleason introduced consideration of the item. Mayor Obie said het Ms. Ehrmant and Mr. Holmer compose the Council Subcommittee on Committees and they recommended nominees to the council for the Nuclear Free Zone Task Force. He said they did not try to IIpackll the task force in any way but he thinks that over 60 percent of the nominees believe that Eugene should have such an ordinance. Ms. Ehrman said subcommittee members did not interview all the nominees because some positions on the task force were allocated to specific groups and the subcommittee accepted the people nominated by the groups. She said a February 24t 1987t communication from Citizen Action for Lasting Security (CALS) indicated that one nominee might have a conflict of interest. Responding to Ms. Ehrman's commentt City Attorney Tim Sercombe said a person serving on a body that makes recommendations to the council usually does not have conflicts of interest. Therefore, he does not foresee a problem but he will investigate the interests of task force members more thoroughly. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council February 25t 1987 Page 2 e Mayor Obie said the subcommittee wanted to have people on the task force who would be affected by the Nuclear Free Zone Ordinance so the task force can address that issue. He said CALS nominated some people and those people probably also have a bias concerning the ordinance. Mr. Holmer said the subcommittee tried to select people who would develop recommendations about implementing the ordinance and, consequently, subcommittee members sought people who would be affected by the ordinance. He said the subcommittee did not intend to recommend people who would destroy the ordinance. Answering a question from Ms. Bascom, Ms. Ehrman said Mr. Sercombe indicated he will discuss the conflict of interest issue individually with task team members. Ms. Bascom said she was reassured that 60 percent of the task team members are proponents of the ordinance. She suggested that meetings of the task force be videotaped. Mayor Obie suggested the task force members consider how they would like the meetings to function. He said cameras can be disruptive. He said he will discuss the matter with the chairperson and vice chairperson of the task force. Mr. Rutan said funds to implement the Nuclear Free Eugene Ordinance were not included the City's budget. e Ms. Ehrman moved, seconded by Mr. Holmer, to establish a membership of 13 for the Nuclear Free Zone Task Force; to confirm the charge of the Nuclear Free Zone Task Force established by council action on January 13, 1987, and to appoint the following members to the Nuclear Free Zone Task Force: CHAIRPERSON--Gerry Gaydos, 1631 E. 26th Avenue (representing the Eugene Planning Commission) VICE CHAIRPERSON--Stephen Johnson, 1825 Longview (representing the research community) MEMBERS: Cynthia Wooten, 966 Jackson ..... .(representing the City Council) Rob Bennett, 250 Palomino Drive ..(representing the City Council) Ronna Friend, 1047 W. 10th.. ...... ......(representing the clergy) Joyce Swan, 1635 Lorane.(representing the League of Women Voters) Jim Piercey, 195 Sunshine Acres Drive...........(representing the Metropolitan Partnership) Darsh Atherly, 2538 Harris.(representing the Chamber of Commerce) David Zupan, 972 W. 4th Avenue... ....(representing Citizen Action for Lasting Security) Nancy Willard, 443 Brookside Drive. .............(representing the community at large) Martha Evans, 2748 Agate....(representing the community at large) e MINUTES--Eugene City Council February 25, 1987 Page 3 e e e Robert Ellis, 1000 Willagillespie, Suite 200....(representing the research community) Dean Baker, 2684 Kincaid...(representing the education community) The motion carried unanimously, 8:0. CB 2944--An ordinance amending the Nuclear Free Eugene Act; and declaring an emergency. Ms. Ehrman moved, seconded by Mr. Holmer, 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. Mr. Holmer said he seconded the motion with a reservation. Referring to Section 1 of the proposed ordinance which states that an election will be held the first Tuesday of November of every even-numbered year, he said other elections are held the first Tuesday after the first Monday. Responding to a question from Mayor Obie, Mr. Sercombe said the only change to the Nuclear Free Eugene Act in the proposed ordinance indicates that the Nuclear Free Zone Board will not be appointed until the Nuclear Free Zone Task Force has completed its work. The motion carried unanimously, 8:0. Council Bill 2944 was read the second time by council bill number only. Ms. Ehrman moved, that the bill be approved and given final passage. The motion died for lack of a second. Mr. Holmer moved, seconded by Ms. Schue, to amend Section 5(1) of the Nuclear Free Eugene Act to indicate that the election of the Eugene Nuclear Free Zone Board will occur on the first Tuesday after the first Monday of November of every even- numbered year. The motion carried unanimously, 8:0. The amended Council Bill 2944 was read the second time by council bill number only. Ms. Ehrman moved, seconded by Mr. Holmer, that the bill be approved and given final passage. All councilors present voting aye, the bill was declared passed (and became Ordinance No. 19449). MINUTES--Eugene City Council February 25, 1987 Page 4 III. WORK SESSION: REFUSE COLLECTION ISSUES: MECHANIZED CURBSIDE COLLECTION RATE AND CITY'S ROLE IN REGULATION OF REFUSE e City Manager Micheal Gleason introduced the item. Terri Vanderpool of the Development Department said the council will hold a public hearing on a proposed ordinance which would establish a formula for determining the minimum rate for residential curbside refuse collection service in Eugene. She said the work session is an opportunity for the council to learn about the proposed ordinance and other issues related to refuse collection. A. Mechanized Curbside Collection Rate e Greta Utecht, Special Permits Supervisor, said residential curbside refuse collection is a new service in Eugene. Previously, refuse hauling companies in the city have provided backyard service. She said the City has a minimum rate for residential backyard refuse collection from standard 32-gallon containers but the City has no minimum rate for mechanized curbside service. She said the City's minimum rate for backyard service is calculated from a base rate and the Lane County tipping fee. The proposed residential curbside minimum rate is calculated from the base rate, a discount for increased efficiency, the cost of the hauler-provided container, and the tipping fee. The curbside service can be provided by companies that buy mechanized trucks that can be operated by one person. The service is less expensive for customers than collection of an equal amount of refuse from the backyard. Answering questions from Ms. Ehrman, Ms. Vanderpool said the City's current position is difficult because the curbside, mechanized service has been provi ded by one haul er for several months even though the Ci ty has no established minimum rate for the service. Mr. Gleason added that technically the company offering the s'ervice is violating a City ordinance and should receive a citation. Replying to questions from Mr. Rutan.and Ms. Bascom, Ms. Utecht said most of the refuse hauling companies support the proposed formula and minimum rate. Ms. Vanderpool said curbside service is optional. Mr. Miller said the council should seriously consider the visual pollution caused by refuse cans left at the curb. Answering a question from Mr. Bennett, Ms. Utecht said one hauler objected to the proposed minimum rate for curbside service because that hauler would like the City's minimum rate to be based on the actual amount of refuse collected. However, all minimum rates in the city and most of those in other cities are based on the capacity of containers. She said it would be very difficult to enforce a rate based on how much refuse is put into a container. She said refuse hauling companies can provide either 60- or gO-gallon containers. Mr. Holmer said he has curbside service and a gO-gallon container. He likes the service. He said the proposed rate is about 25 percent more than he pays now. When asked whether recycling was included in the recommended rate, Ms. Utecht said the cost of the recyclying service provided by refuse hauling companies is included in the base rate. It is not affected by the proposed minimum rate for gO-gallon containers. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council February 25, 1987 Page 5 e Mayor Obie said two new members have been appointed to the Refuse and Recycling Board. He suggested they review the proposed minimum rate for 90- gallon containers. Ms. Schue said the councilors have much to learn about the City's regulation of refuse collecting. She pointed out that the proposed rate for curbside service is more than people are now paying for it. Discussing the current system, Mr. Gleason said the City has established minimum rates for refuse collection and the operators of refuse hauling companies decide among themselves where they can operate. He said the refuse collection industry is changing and becoming more competitive. Ms. Vanderpool added that the 90-gallon container now being used by some people will not be legal in Eugene until a rate structure has been established. Ms. Ehrman asked for a list of refuse hauling companies and for information about hauling areas before the council's public hearing. B. City's Role in Regulation of Refuse Collecting Ms. Vanderpool said it has been some time since the City's role in refuse collection has been analyzed. She said two members were recently appointed to the Refuse and Recycling Board and she suggested the council direct the new board to review the system. e The Mayor and several councilors discussed her suggestion. Mr. Rutan said the current system seems appropriate. He said deregulation of an industry can be dangerous. Mayor Obie said the existing system seems to work well. Mr. Holmer said refuse hauling companies should be able to charge the lowest rate at which they can make a profit. Mr. Gleason said the present system regulates the refuse hauling industry. The City establishes minimum charges and standards for refuse collection. He said people will collect refuse in pickup trucks if the City does not have standards. At the same time, the City's system is dated and unable to address new services such as mechanized services adequately. He said the issue is: Should the existing minimum rate be enforced or should the City's role in the regulation of refuse collecting be reviewed? He said the company providing residential curbside service will have to stop if the present ordinance is enforced. Mr. Miller suggested the council consider backyard service for 90-gallon cans as well as how to deal with a proliferation of garbage cans throughout the city. Ms. Bascom suggested the council approve the proposal and then wait to see how it works. Responding to a suggestion from Mr. Bennett that the City only set standards for refuse hauling, Mr. Gleason said it is difficult to enforce standards if rates are not established and enforced. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council February 25, 1987 Page 6 Answering questions from Ms. Ehrman, Mr. Gleason said hauling companies need a license to operate in Eugene, but a license is easy to obtain. e IV. WORK SESSION: DISPOSAL OF FORECLOSED BANCROFT PROPERTIES City Manager Micheal Gleason introduced the item. Finance Director Warren Wong gave the staff report. He said the City finances public improvements by assessing property owners who benefit from the improvements. t1Bancroftingll is a financing device for property owners who wish to pay the assessments over a period of time. In that case, the City issues Bancroft bonds backed by the full faith and credit of the city to pay for the improvements and then uses payments from the property owners to payoff the bonds. He said the City now has about $13 million in outstanding Bancroft bonds. Mr. Wong said the City uses short-term warrants for interim financing of public improvements. He discussed the uses of the Warrant Redemption Fund. Answering questions from Ms. Ehrman, Mr. Wong said the Finance Division and the Public Works Department manage the properties on which the City has foreclosed. Most of the properties are undeveloped land. e Mr. Wong said the Warrant Redemption Fund is not recovering the engineering costs or the costs of obtaining interim financing for public improvements. The fund is also not recovering the cost of foreclosing on properties. He said the fund accumulated a cash balance because many assessments were paid off in the late 1970s but now the cash balance is almost exhausted and projects in progress will cause about a $200,000 deficit if nothing is done. To prevent the deficit, he suggested that the engineering and financing costs of public improvements be ldentified and recovered, that funds for the City's share of public improvements be transferred when the projects are begun, and that foreclosure and disposal costs be recovered. Answering questions from Mr. Bennett and Ms. Bascom, Mr. Wong said foreclosure costs, increasing costs, and changing financing rates caused the deficit. He said the changes he suggested to prevent the deficit mean the council will not have to consider levying property taxes to pay for the bonds issued for public improvements. O;scussing the Bancroft Bond Funds, Mr. Wong said they are in good condition and all the bonds would be paid off by 1995 if no more bonds are issued. Replying to questions from Ms. Bascom, Ms. Ehrman, and Mr. Holmer, Mr. Wong said only 8 to 13 percent of the Bancroft loans were past due in 1980. He said the criteria for Bancroft loans have been changed so that the loans are not approved easily for unimproved properties. He said Bancroft loans can be obtained in tax increment districts. Mr. Wong said the City continues to plan and construct capital projects and next year's budget includes projects totaling about $4 million that will be assessed to property owners and, consequently, for which Bancroft loans may be approved. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council February 25, 1987 Page 7 e Discussing foreclosures, Mr. Wong said the City forecloses on properties when the assessments have not been paid for 18 months. When the City forecloses, the properties are included in a sale and, if no one bids on the properties at the sale, the City becomes the owner of the properties. In the last six years, the City has had nine sales. No owner-occupied properties were included in those sales. Another sale will be held on April 30, 1987. At that time, 17 homes may be included, but the City staff is trying to find ways to keep the homes out of the sa 1 e. He said some of the owners di d not know thei r properties were subject to foreclosure. Mr. Wong said the City now owns 642 lots on which the past due assessments are about $3.7 million. He said proposals to sell some of the City.s properties will be presented to the council in March. The sales will be at fair market values and a public bid process will be used. Answering questions from Mr. Rutan and Ms. Wooten, Mr. Wong said the properties in the April 30 sale are in addition to the 642 lots the City now owns. He said disposing of all the properties at one time will not be considered because buyers have indicated an interest in 15 to 25 specific lots. Ms. Wooten discussed several arrangements that can be made with banks to sell back owner-occupied properties. V. ALTERNATIVE INDUSTRIAL GROWTH AREAS STUDY e Planning Director Susan Brody recommended that the council direct the staff to incorporate the Alternative Industrial Growth Areas Study into the Economy Working Paper during the Metropolitan Plan Update. She said the update will begin in July 1987. Ms. Brody discussed the possibility of a council-initiated amendment to the Metropolitan Area General Plan which would expand the Urban Growth Boundary to include the Awbrey/Meadowview property. She said the policies in the Economy Section of the Metro Plan address the need for light industrial land. They do not indicate a need for heavy industrial land. Therefore, she suggested policies addressing the need for heavy industrial uses be prepared if the council decides to initiate an amendment to expand the urban growth boundary. She suggested the amendment indicate that the expansion should be for approximately 200 acres and that the minimum parcel size should be very large. She said it would be difficult to justify an expansion of the urban growth boundary if the minimum parcel size is similar to the size of parcels available now in the urban growth boundary. Answering questions from Ms. Wooten, Ms. Brody said several 40- and 50-acre parcels are available now for heavy industrial uses. Mayor Obie said the Awbrey/Meadowview property is unique because it is a large parcel in one ownership. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council February 25, 1987 Page 8 e Answering a question from Ms. Schue, Ms. Brody said the Alternative Industrial Growth Areas Study is in draft form now. The study could be issued in final form, or it could be incorporated into the Economy Working Paper of the Metro Plan Update. Ms. Ehrman moved, seconded by Mr. Holmer, to direct the staff to broaden the scope of issues addressed in the Alternative Industrial Growth Areas Study and to integrate it into the Metropolitan Plan Economy Working Paper during the Metro Plan Update. The motion carried 7:1 with Councilors Ehrman, Holmer, Schue, Wooten, Bascom, Miller, and Bennett voting aye and Councilor Rutan voting nay. Mr. Rutan said he distributed a motion concerning an amendment to the Metro Plan to the councilors. He suggested a minor change which resulted in the folloWing statement: Based on the findings of the Alternative Industrial Growth Area Study, I move that the City Council initiate an amendment to the Metro Plan to expand the urban growth boundary in the area between Awbrey and Meadowview Lanes to provide additional land suitable for heavy industrial use, and to request the Planning Commission and staff to give attention to the following factors as part of the amendment process: 1. Consider any new or modified policies related to heavy industrial use that may be appropriate for inclusion in the Metro Plan; e 2. Provide as much property between Awbrey and Meadowview Lanes as is necessary to: - a) ensure efficient access to both the Southern Pacific and Burlington Northern railroads; and b) provide for large parcel sizes; and 3. Consider whether the sludge treatment site should be included or excluded from the urban growth boundary at this time. Answering questions from Ms. Wooten and Mayor Obie, Mr. Rutan said the size of the expansion and the parcel size permitted in the expanded area should be defined during preparation of the amendment. He said the the community has di scussed the Awbrey/Meadowvi ew property for several years and enough information is available to prepare an amendment to the Metro Plan. He said his statement addresses some of the policy issues in the expansion of the urban growth boundary. He assumes the expansion will be at least 200 acres. It probably will be more than 200 acres if access to both railroads is assured. Replying to a question from Ms. Ehrman, Ms. Brody said the staff determined that about 200 acres would be an appropriate expansion. The Planning Commission did not recommend a particular parcel size because it did not recommend that an amendment be initiated. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council February 25, 1987 Page 9 e Mr. Bennett said the proposal is to prepare an amendment which will be considered by the council later. He said the evidence does not indicate that the land is needed but the site is unique and could provide an opportunity for a specific use. He said he favors limiting the expansion to about 200 acres. Ms. Schue said the focus during adoption of the Metro Plan was on special light industrial uses and the community was not interested in heavy industries, although some of the property near the Awbrey/Meadowview site was designated for heavy industrial use and included in the urban growth boundary. She wondered how a new heavy industry would affect the area. She said the community has no experience with a 200-acre heavy industry. She said the Planning Commission recommended against preparation of a Metro Plan amendment. She said Springfield officials should be asked about the amendment. Ms. Bascom said she cannot support Mr. Rutan's motion. She said she will not support preparation of an amendment unless it includes performance standards that would address environmental concerns such as air and water quality. She also is concerned about the redesignation of the Natron Site in Springfield that is addressed in the Alternative Growth Areas Study. Responding to Ms. Schue, Mr. Bennett said time has elapsed since the Metro Plan was adopted and not many industries have come to the community. He wondered if the policies in the Metro Plan preclude heavy industries. Ms. Ehrman said the community has not assessed the impact of a 200-acre industry. She said evidence does not support expansion of the urban growth boundary. e Mr. Rutan said the policies in the Metro Plan were negotiated by the Elected Officials' Coordinating Committee many years ago. He said the Awbrey/Meadowview site cannot be developed unless the zoning is changed. He said the community should prepare for development opportunities. He said the council should address minimum parcel size in the Aubrey/Meadowview site when the amendment is considered. Mr. Miller said the Awbrey/Meadowview site might be developed if it is marketed and the community has nothing to lose by permitting the land to be marketed. Mr. Holmer said the community indicated that the Awbrey/Meadowview site would be addressed in the Metro Plan Mid-Period Review but that was not done. He said Mr. Rutan1s proposal would provide an opportunity to address the issue. Mr. Holmer favored including performance criteria in the proposal. Ms. Wooten said she was stunned Monday night when Stub Stewart was permitted to address the council at a meeting that was not a public hearing. She said initiating an independent special interest amendment undermines the integrity and spirit of the Metro Plan. She said the matter should be analyzed during the Metro Plan Update in an expanded Alternative Growth Areas Study which is part of the Economy Working Paper. She said the proposed amendment will not affect the economic prosperity of the community. She said it is not e MINUTES--Eugene City Council February 25, 1987 Page 10 e appropriate to propose an amendment because the property owner has been requesting it for several years. She said the Natron Site should be treated fairly. She said supporting an independent amendment is bad policy and is unnecessary, it sets a bad precedent, and it may result in court action. Based on the findings of the Alternative Industrial Growth Area Study, Mr. Rutan moved, and Mr. Miller seconded, to initiate an amendment to the Metropolitan Area General Plan to expand the urban growth boundary in the area between Awbrey and Meadowview Lanes to provide additional land suitable for heavy industrial use, and to request the Planning Commission and the staff to give attention to the following factors as part of the amendment process: 1. Consider any new or modified policies related to heavy industrial use that may be appropriate for inclusion in the Metropolitan Plan and to develop performance criteria for the property; 2. Provide as much property between Awbrey and Meadowview Lanes as is necessary to: a) ensure efficient access to both the Southern Pacific and Burlington Northern railroads; and b) provide for large parcel sizes; and 3. Consider whether the sludge treatment site should be included or excluded from the urban growth boundary at this time. e Ms. Schue said the motion is ,not consistent because Section 1 of the motion indicates that new or modified Metro Plan policies related to heavy industrial use will be considered and Section 2 excludes the Awbrey/Meadowview site from that consideration. She said the motion really directs the staff to prepare an amendment to expand the urban growth boundary to include the Awbrey/Meadowview site. Mr. Bennett said he cannot support a motion that does not indicate how much the urban growth boundary should be expanded and how large the parcels should be. He said the Metro Plan Update will not be approved for about three years and that is too long to delay consideration of the Awbrey/Meadowview site. He said the property is unique and there may be a use for it before the Metro Plan Update is approved. Ms. Bascom said she will not support the motion because it does not indicate how large the increase will be or how large the parcels will be. Mr. Holmer said the motion simply directs the staff to prepare an amendment. He said the council will decide about sizes later. Mr. Miller moved, and Mr. Bennett seconded, to amend the the motion as follows (material in parentheses should be deleted and underlined material should be added): e MINUTES--Eugene City Council February 25, 1987 Page 11 e 2. Provide (as much property) approximately 200 acres between Awbrey and Meadowview Lanes as is necessary to: a) ensure efficient access to both the Southern Pacific and Burlington Northern railroads; and b) to provide (for large) a minimum parcel (sizes) size. On the question of parcel size, Ms. Brody said large parcels are difficult to market and small parcels will be difficult to justify to the Land Conservation and Development Commission. Replying to questions from Ms. Bascom, Mr. Rutan said the sludge treatment site is adjacent to the Awbrey/Meadowview site. The amendment carried 6:2 with Councilors Holmer, Schue, Bascom, Miller, Rutan, and Bennett voting aye and Councilors Ehrman and Wooten voting nay. Replying to a question from Ms. Bascom, Ms. Brody said the amendment could be processed by the council and then referred to Springfield officials. She suggested the council wait to see what Springfield officials would like to do about the Natron site. Ms. Bascom said she would like it understood that Springfield officials will be consulted before the council takes final action on the amendment. It The motion carried 5:3 with Councilors Holmer, Bascom, Miller, Rutan, and Bennett voting aye and Councilors Schue, Wooten, and Ehrman voting nay. Responding to a question from Ms. Brody, several councilors said they would like to see the proposed amendment before a public hearing on it is scheduled. Ms. Bascom said she would like to review the performance criteria. Mr. Gleason said either the budget or the Planning Department's work program may have to be adjusted to include work on the proposed amendment. Mayor Obie adjourned the meeting at 2:00 p.m. (Recorded by Betty Lou Rarick) mncc0225 - MINUTES--Eugene City Council February 25, 1987 Page 12
