COUNCILORS ABSENT: Emily Schue, Ruth Bascom. The regular meeting of the Eugene City Council of Eugene, Oregon, was called to order by Council President Debra Ehrman in the absence of His Honor Mayor Brian B. Obie. I.

To inaugurate their cookie sale, the Girl Scouts presented the council with several boxes of cookies. II. PUBLIC HEARING: AMENDMENT TO THE METROPOLITAN PLAN REGARDING NONCONTIGUOUS ANNEXATIONS City Manager Micheal Gleason introduced the item. Planning Director Susan Brody gave the staff report. She said the policies in the Metropolitan Area Genera 1 Pl an 1 i mi t the annexation of noncontiguous 1 and to deve loped properties and require that the triple majority process be used. However, some property owners want to annex undeveloped land so that urban services can be provided before the land is developed and a decision of the Oregon Court of Appeals recently declared the triple majority process unconstitutional" The proposed amendment will permit the annexation of undeveloped land and will delete the requirement for the triple majority process because other processes can be used. She said the Eugene Area Chamber of Commerce recommends approval of the proposal amendment. Answering questions from Ms. Wooten, Ms. Brody said only properties within the Urban Growth Boundary can be considered for annexation to the cities. If the Awbrey-Meadowview property was within the Urban Growth Boundary, it could be considered for annexation. The Metro Plan policies have permitted annexation of noncontiguous, industrial properties for some time and a recent amendment permitted annexation of noncontiguous developed residential properties. She sa i d the proposed amendment wi 11 not undermi ne the Metro Pl an 1 and use principles because the principles assume that land within the Urban Growth Boundary will be annexed. She said the timing of annexation is important and noncontiguous residential properties should be considered if services can be MINUTES--Eugene City Council March 9, 1987 Page 1 e provided. She discussed the logical extension of services and said the City must demonstrate to the Boundary Commission that services can be provided. She said the City does not want to annex noncontiguous properties if services cannot be provided efficiently. The council could apply the tax differential to noncontiguous properties. The tax differential program will be available for about one and a ha 1 f more yea rs. Ms. Ehrman opened the public hearing. Gordon Elliott, 1414 Polk, said the principles of planning indicate that properties should be used for their highest and best use and should include the provision and maintenance of public services. He discussed his plan to develop a self-sufficient adult village on the 200 acres he owns. Mr. Holmer said Mr. Elliot seemed to favor approval of the proposed amendment. Mr. Elliott said his property is not within the Urban Growth Boundary and he would like to know what his property does not have. Answering a question from Mr. Holmer, Ms. Brody said Mr. Elliott's property is designated "Urban Reserve" in the Metro Plan. Answering a question from Ms. Ehrman, Ms. Brody said appropriate public notice of this public hearing was provided. There being no additional requests to testify, Ms. Ehrman closed the public hearing. e CB 2953--An ordinance adopting amendments to the Eugene- Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan pertaining to noncontiguous annexations. Mr. Holmer moved, seconded by Ms. Wooten, 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 carried unanimously. Mr. Holmer moved, seconded by Ms. Wooten, 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. 19450). III. PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR CREATION OF EXTENSION SERVICE COUNTY SERVICE DISTRICT e City Manager Micheal Gleason introduced the item. Planning Director Susan Brody gave the staff report. She said Lane County funding for the Oregon State University (OSU) Extension Service have been declining and the creation of a County Special District has been initiated by registered voter petition. The district would finance the local share of the extension program. She said the council will have to pass a resolution to include Eugene in the County Special Service District. MINUTES--Eugene City Council March 9, 1987 Page 2 e Ms. Brody said the staff recommends that the council not approve inclusion of Eugene in the County Special District because the creation of the district would not be consistent with two Metro Plan policies and because additional services can be added to a County Service District. She suggested the City staff work wi th the proponents of the County Speci a 1 Di stri ct to fi nd alternative methods of financing the local extension service. Answering questions from Ms. Wooten and Ms. Ehrman, Ms. Brody said a County Special District could be formed if Eugene is not included but, in that case, the district would not provide very much revenue. Discussing the process of creating a County Service District, Ms. Brody said the Lane County Boundary Commission must consider a petition for a County Special District if enough signatures are gathered. The Boundary Commission's approval of the district is final unless citizens remonstrate and, in that case, an election on the creation of the district is held. If there is no remonstrance, citizens do not vote on the formation of the district. Mr. Gleason added that citizens must vote on a tax base or a serial levy after a County Service District is formed to provide revenue for the district. Mr. Holmer said he would like a history of the funding of extension service programs in the United States. He said it is important for people to know why Lane County funding for the service has decreased. Answering a question from Mr. Miller, Mr. Gleason said the Metro Plan designates the Lane County Board of Commissioners as the general government for Lane County and the Board of Commissioners decides about allocating Lane County funds for the OSU Extension Service. e Replying to a question from Ms. Wooten, Ms. Brody said the Lane County Board of Commissioners would administer the County Special District and decide about adding services if the Lane County Boundary Commission is eliminated. When the staff notes were written, it seemed the commissioners favored elimination of the Boundary Commi ssi on but, subsequently, the comm; ssi oners voted to oppose abolition of the Boundary Commission. Ms. Ehrman opened the public hearing. Robert Harland, 4400 Hilyard, said he was involved in the extension program as a youth. He supported the inclusion of the city in a County Service District and said Lane County cannot support the program sufficiently. He said the program is excellent for young people. Lon Topaz, 37196 Tree Farm, said he represented the Volunteers for Extension. He said the Extension Service has existed in Lane County for 72 years. He said OSU provides basic extension service to all parts of the state. He said a County Special District probably is not the best way to fund the local share of the Extensi on Servi ce but the County Commi ssi oners have decreased or eliminated funds for the service in recent years. In 1980/81, Lane County provided $150,000 for the Extension Service. This year, Lane County only provided $50,000. Three-quarters of the Extension Service funds are provided by the Federal and State governments: He said volunteers have raised funds but they prefer to provide services. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council March 9, 1987 Page 3 e Mr. Topaz suggested the councilors support the formation of a single purpose County Service District for the Extension Service. He also suggested the councilors consider using City funds to support the Extension Service because many Extention Service users live within the city. He said a stable financial base for the services is needed. He emphasized that voters must approve a tax base after a County Service District is formed and voters would have to approve additional funds if other services are added to the district. He said another way to fund the Extension Service would be for citizens to support "a decent ta~ base" for Lane County. Answering questions from Ms. Ehrman and Ms. Wooten, Mr. Topaz said it is difficult to find out how many Extension Service users live in the city. He said a tax rate of eight cents per $1,000 is proposed for the County Service District. Ms. Wooten pointed out that the Lane County Library is funded by a serial levy. Mr. Holmer said it seems the Lane County Commissioners do not think funding the Extension Service should have a high priority. Replying to his question, Mr. Topaz said the proponents plan to ask voters to approve formation of a County Service District and then to approve a tax base. He said winning the elections will be difficult. e Richard Craig, 203198 Summit Highway, Blodgett, Oregon, said he is the Director of Financial and Personnel Operations for the Oregon State University College of Agriculture. He said he administers the Extension Service throughout the state. He said several counties have formed County Service Districts to fund extension services. He said there are many mandated services in Lane County that must be financed by Lane County. He said the extension service is an educational program provided by OSU. It is not a mandated service. Mr. Craig said the first funds for the Extension Service were provided by the Federal government in 1914. About 25 percent of the extension funds are provided by the Federal government, about 50 percent of the funds are provided by the State, about 10 percent of the funds are provided by fees, and about 15 percent must be provi ded 1 oca lly. He sa i d most of the Lane County Commissioners want to fund the extension service but there are not enough funds. He di scussed the process for formi ng a County Servi ce Di stri ct. He said duplication of services must be avoided. He said enough funds for the Extension Service for many years will be available if a tax base for a County Service District is approved by the voters. Barbara Mazzie, 1575 West 26th, said the Master Gardener program of the Extension Service received over 7,500 telephone calls last year. In addition, the service serves people who come to the office and booths at fairs or shows. She urged the councilors to support the County Service District. She said it is an important amenity. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council March 9, 1987 Page 4 e Ms. Mazzie said the Extension Services serves apartment dwellers, home owners, renters, young people, old people, and families. She named many programs provided by the Extension Service. Margret Albertus, 2963 Van, said she lives in the Willakenzie neighborhood and has been a member of the Willakenzie Extension Homemakers Study Group for 25 years. She said the Cooperative Extension Service is the largest adult education program in the United States. She said the Extension Service helps everyone who needs help. She wondered who kind of message would be sent to newcomers if the City does not support the Extension Service. Robert A. Wearne, 1510 Em Ray, said he is a horticulturist. He retired from the Extension Service. He discussed the changes in the Extension Service in the last 30 years and said more and more city dwellers are being served. He said the United States Congress approved a special appropriation in 1972 to develop a city gardening program. He displayed a magazine titled "Around Town.1I Marlene Black, 1175 Almaden, said she has been involved in 4-H programs for many years. When she lost her sight, she learned that 4-H members provide socialization and obedience training for guide dogs. She is now co-leader of a 4-H Dog Obedience and Puppy Raising program. She said it is a worthwhile program. Stacy Brummett, 4937 Nort" Way, said she has been a recipient of the Energy and Nutrition Program of the Extension Service and her family has benefited from the program. e Gordon Elliott, 1414 Polk, said he has paid taxes in Eugene for over 45 years and the Extension Service has provided excellent services during that time. He said the Extension Service helps the needy. He said volunteers are very helpful. Mr. Gleason said City officials agree that the Extension Service provides a good service. They would like to see the service maintained. He said the recommendation against including the city in a County Service District is because the same issues that face the Lane County Board of Commissioners would face the directors of a County Service District. He said the commissioners could provide funds from the Lane County General Fund or propose a special levy or an increase in the tax base to support the Extension Service. He said the pressure to add servi ces to a speci a 1 di stri ct can be great. He recommended that the existing authority of Lane County be used to support the Extension Service. Answering questions from Mr. Rutan and Ms. Ehrman, Mr. Gleason said he will find out what the total budget of the Lane County Extension Service is. He said people will continue to work on adoption of a tax base for a special district if it is not approved. He said an agreement could indicate that a County Service District should provide only one service but any city or county governing body could change the agreement at any time. Ms. Ehrman suggested Extension Service officials investigate the possibility of receiving funds from the Joint Social Services Committee. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council March 9, 1987 Page 5 Mr. Holmer suggested the proposed eight-cent tax rate for a service district be compared to the total Lane County levy. ~ Replying to a question from Ms. Ehrman, Janet Calvert, Lane County Extension Agent, said the Extension Services charges for some bulletins. Most services are provided free. Answering questions from Ms. Wooten, Mr. Gleason said County Service Districts cannot be limited to one purpose. Ms. Brody added that a Boundary Commission must approve added services if a Boundary Commission exists. Mr. Gleason said serial levies are limited to three years. Answering questions from Mr. Holmer, City Attorney Tim Sercombe said a reso 1 ut i on passed by the council coul d not 1 imit the powers of a County Service District. He said the only role the City has in a County Service District is during its formation. After that, the functions of the district are entirely separate from the City. Petitions requesting a County Service District cannot limit the district to one purpose. Mr. Gleason added that a County Service District is a government, the governing body has governmental authority, and a government can only be funded with a serial levy or a tax base. There being no additional requests to testify, Ms. Ehrman closed the public hearing. Mr. Holmer said many questions had been raised and he did not think the council should take action tonight. e Ms. Wooten said she supports the Extension Service and would like to assist in finding a stable funding source. Answering a question from Ms. Ehrman, Steve Gordon of the Lane County Boundary Commission staff said there is no deadline for consideration of a County Service District by the Boundary Commission. Mr. Holmer moved, and Ms. Wooten seconded, to postpone consideration to Wednesday, March 11, 1987. Mr. Rutan said many issues were raised. He suggested the City staff discuss the matter with those who testified and the Lane County commissioners. He said the objections to City inclusion in the County Service District are valid and there may be other ways to fund the Extension Service. He will oppose the motion. Ms. Wooten said she also would like time to investigate options. Mr. Gleason said he understood the councilors concern about the Extension Service and he will work toward a solution. Mr. Holmer withdrew the motion and Mr. Rutan withdrew the second. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council March 9, 1987 Page 6 e Ms. Ehrman said the council will consider funding of the Extension Service at another meeting. She said statistics about users always help evaluate a service. IV. PUBLIC HEARING: CREATION OF NEW METROPOLITAN POLICY COMMITTEE City Manager Micheal Gleason introduced the item. Planning Director Susan Brody gave the staff report. She said the Urban Services Policy Committee (USPC) recommended the formation of a new Metropolitan Policy Committee (MPC) in order to consolidate the functions of the existing Metropolitan Policy Committee, the Metropolitan Area Transportation Committee, the Metropolitan Cable Television Commission, and the USPC. She said the new MPC would develop and negotiate solutions to intergovernmental problems, serve as a forum for developing recommendations for resolving intergovernmental disputes, identify along-term agenda for i ntergovernmenta 1 efforts, and promote intergovernmental cooperation and coordination. Ms. Brody said the US PC recommended that two elected officials from each of Eugene, Springfield, and Lane County serve as voting members of the new MPC, that the chief administrative officers of the jurisdictions serve as ex- officio members of the committee, and that the Executive Director of Lane Transit District (LTD) and a representative of the Oregon Department of Transportat ion (ODOT) serve as ex-offi ci 0 members of the commi ttee when transporat i on matters are considered. She said the ordi nance before the council does not contain a reference to an ODOT representative but, if the council wishes, that provision could be added after adoption of the ordinance. e Ms. Wooten said she understood at the council work session that a consumer advocacy group for cable access would be included in the proposal for a new MPC. Mr. Bennett agreed with Ms. Wooten. Mr. Gleason said the council agreed to appoint a Council Subcommittee on Cable Access to address cable access issues independently from the MPC. The subcommitte has not yet met. He did not recall approval of a consumer advocacy subcommittee of the MPC. Ms. Wooten asked if others recalled the council's action. She said she did not think a committee to address cable access issues independently from the MPC has been created by resolution or ordinance. Ms. Ehrman said the council passed to address cable access issues but ordinance although the Council prospective members. a motion to create a council subcommittee the subcommittee has not been created by Subcommittee on Committee discussed Ms. Wooten said she would like to review the minutes of the January 14 council meeting and a verbatim transcript of the discussion concerning a subcommittee. Ms. Ehrman opened the public hearing. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council March 9, 1987 Page 7 e There being no requests to testify, Ms. Ehrman closed the public hearing. CB 2945--An ordinance dissolving the existing Metro Plan Policy Committee, the Metropolitan Area Transportation Com- mittee, the Metropolitan Cable Television Commission, and the Urban Services Policy Committee; establishing a new Metropolitan Policy Committee; amending Section 2.013 of the Eugene Code, 1971; repealing Resolution No. 3709; and declaring an emergency. Mr. Holmer moved, seconded by Ms. Wooten, 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 carried unanimously, 6:0. Mr. Holmer moved, seconded by Ms. Wooten, 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. 19451) Mr. Holmer moved, seconded by Ms. Wooten, to direct staff to draft code revisions related to the cable system to reflect the new policy committee's role. Roll call vote; the motion carried unanimously, 6:0. e Mr. Holmer moved, seconded by Ms. Wooten, to recommend to the Lane Council of Governments Board of Directors that the MATC functions be turned over to the new Metropolitan Policy Committee. Roll call vote; the motion carried unanimously, 6:0. V. PUBLIC HEARING: ESTABLISHMENT OF 4TH AVENUE LOCAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT City Manager Micheal Gleason introduced the item. Les Lyle of the Public Works Department gave the staff report. He said a Willamette Greenway conditional use permit was granted to the Eugene Water & Electric Board (EWES). The permit allows construction of a new office building, parking and storage areas, and warehouse operations buildings on the EWES property. A condition of the conditional use permit required EWEB to request initiation of improvements to 4th Avenue. Mr. Lyl e sa i d a map showi ng the proposed improvements was distributed to the councilors. He said the City and EWES own 82 percent and Donald Schmeiding owns 18 percent of the frontage on 4th Avenue in the proposed district. Mr. Lyle said Mr. Schmeiding would prefer to sell his property before the improvements are made and Mr. SChmeiding is concerned about the screening on the south side of 4th Avenue and the timing of the construction. Mr. Lyle distributed a map indicating the proposed screening. He said the improvements should be constructed this spring and should be finished before the EWES office building is completed in spring 1988. He said the improvements will e MINUTES--Eugene City Council March 9, 1987 Page 8 provide better vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle safety and will implement a part of the Downtown Plan. ~ Answering a question from Mr. Holmer and Mr. Bennett, Mr. Lyle said the street will be designed to handle truck traffic and the improvements to 4th Avenue are being coordinated with the EWEB construction. Mr. Bennett said he has heard that the EWEB office building will not be completed'by spring 1988. Mr. Miller said it seems desirable to do the improvements now but they could be done later. Answering his questions, Mr. Lyle said the abutting property owners will be assessed for 44 feet of the 46-foot wide street and the City will pay for the difference. EWEB will install sidewalks and landscaping on its side of the street, and, the City will install sidewalks and landscaping in front of the balance of the project. The sidewalks will be 7 feet wide but Mr. Schmeiding will only be assessed for a 5-foot sidewalk. The City will pay for the difference. Between $45,000 and $50,000 of Systems Development Funds wi 11 be used. Ms. Ehrman opened the public hearing. e Laurie Power, 500 fast 4th Avenue, said she is EWEB Governmental Affairs Coordinator. She urged approval of the 4th Avenue Local Improvement District and the proposed improvements. She said EWEB representatives have reviewed the construction schedule with the City staff and agreed that the 4th Avenue improvements should be constructed in summer 1987. She said the EWEB office building will be completed by May 1988 but the improvements to the storage yard will not be finished until summer or fall of 1988. She said the completed improvements to 4th Avenue will provide access safety for EWEB employees and customers. In addition, construction of the pedestrian walkways and landscaping along 4th Avenue are to start in August 1987 and grading should be done in the same season. Ms. Power said EWEB is pleased with the coordination with the City staff. She said EWES has asked the City staff to be mindful of the access needs of EWES staff, customers, and construction crews. There being no additional requests to testify, Ms. Ehrman closed the public hearing. Answering questions from Ms. Ehrman, Mr. Lyle said there will be bike lanes and street lights on both sides of 4th Avenue. Ms. Ehrman suggested the City staff coordinate the improvements on 4th Avenue with the proposed improvements on 5th Avenue. Mr. Sennett said the proposed schedule for improvements to 4th Avenue surprises him. Answering his questions, Ms. Power said the improvements are scheduled to being in July and be finished by September 30, 1987. She discussed the major accesses to the EWES property. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council March 9, 1987 Page 9 e Res. No. 4029--A resolution initiating and ordering establish- ment of a local improvement district for paving, storm sewers, sidewalks, and street lights on 4th Avenue from High Street to Ferry Street Bridge. Mr. Holmer moved, seconded by Ms. Wooten, to adopt the resolution. Mr. Holmer said he hoped the City and EWEB staff will carefully consider whether the proposed schedule is in the best interests of everyone. Roll call vote; the motion carried unanimously, 6:0. VI. RESOLUTION REGARDING NUCLEAR EXERCISE NONPARTICIPATION e City Manager Micheal Gleason introduced the item. Ms. Ehrman said Mayor Obie requested preparation of the proposed resolution. Answering a question from Mr. Holmer, Glen Potter of the Intergovernmental Relations Division said the Lane County Federal Emergency Management Agency Emergency Food and Shelter Board administers Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funds in Lane County. He did not know the members of the board. Res. No. 4030--A resolution declaring the City of Eugene's intention not to participate in nuclear war preparedness exercises and encouraging other government agencies at all levels to adopt a similar policy. Mr. Holmer moved, seconded by Ms. Wooten, to adopt the resolution. Mr. Holmer said Eugene has an ordinance that designates it as a nuclear free zone and, therefore, it is not necessary to adopt the proposed resolution. Referring to Section 5 of the resolution, he said the counties and cities mentioned have been asked to participate in FEMA exercises; Eugene has not been asked to participate. He suggested Eugene give FEMA some good advice if the council decides to act on the matter because the community needs emergency preparedness. He commended the City staff for its emergency plans and said the public should be aware of them. He said he does not think the FEMA exercises are good but he will vote against the resolution. Ms. Wooten said the councilors have indicated that they do not think a nuclear war is survivable and that the State, County, and City should not take part in nuclear war preparedness exercises. She said she supports the resolution. Mr. Miller agreed with Ms. Wooten. He said the FEMA exercises waste government funds because a nuclear war cannot be survived. He said Eugene has not received FEMA preparedness funds. He said the community should prepare for disasters but the preparations should be realistic. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council March 9, 1987 Page 10 e Mr. Bennett said Mr. Holmer pointed out that the Eugene Nuclear Free Zone ordinance prohibits participation in the FEMA exercises. Mr. Bennett said the issue is a seri ous one and he wondered "why we keep fanni ng the fl ames" and why the existing Nuclear Free Zone ordinance is not sufficient. Responding to Mr. Bennett, Ms. Wooten said the existing ordinance does not specifically prohibit participation in the FEMA exercises. She said the proposed resolution does not preclude preparations for emergencies and accidents; Mr. Rutan said he supports Mr. Holmer's statements. Referring to the proposed resolution, Mr. Rutan said he wonders why the City should give directions to the Federal government about how to spend money. Mr. Miller said the proposed resolution indicates that Federal funds should not be wasted and that FEMA officials should discuss plans with local governments. Mr. Gleason said Mayor Obie requested the proposed resolution because the council directed that the Nuclear Free Zone Ordinance should be implemented as much as possible and that ordinance precludes evacuation drills. City Attorney Tim Sercombe said the proposed resolution is more broad than the Nuclear Free Zone Ordinance because the proposed resolution declines participation in any nuclear war preparedness exercises. The Nuclear Free Zone Ordinance prohibits participation in nuclear war evacuation exercises. e Mr. Rutan called for the question. Answering her question, Mr. Sercombe said Ms. Ehrman will vote as a councilor even though she is presiding. The motion failed 3:3 with Councilors Wooten, Ehrman, and Miller voting aye and Councilors Holmer, Rutan, and Bennett voting nay. The councilors discussed considering the issue again when Mayor Obie and Councilors Bascom and Schue are present. Ms. Ehrman said any councilor who voted on the prevailing side could ask for reconsideration. She said Councilors Holmer, Rutan, and Bennett were on the prevailing side. VII. DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR BANCROFT- OR LIEN-FORECLOSED REAL PROPERTY PROPERTY City Manager Micheal Gleason introduced the item. Answering a question from Ms. Wooten, Charles Dallas of the Finance Division said he and other staff members will administer the management, marketing, and disposal of properties acquired by the City. A temporary assistant is being hired. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council March 9, 1987 Page 11 e e e Res. No. 4031--A resolution adopting a development plan for the management, marketing, and disposal of properties acquired through default of Bancroft contracts or lien foreclosures. Mr. Holmer moved, seconded by Ms. Wooten, to adopt the resolution. Roll call vote; the motion carried unanimously, 6:0. VIII. DISPOSAL OF SURPLUS EUGENE WATER AND ELECTRIC BOARD PROPERTY City Manager Micheal Gleason suggested the council's consideration of the disposal of EWEB property be postponed. The councilors agreed. IX. RIGHT-OF-WAY ACQUISITION FOR GILHAM ROAD AND WILLAKENZIE ROAD City Manager Micheal Gleason said the proposed ordinances will implement decisions the council previously made to initiate the projects. CB 2947--An ordinance authorizing the institution of proceedings in eminent domain for the acquisition by condemnation of property interests along Gilham Road between Crescent Drive and Honeywood Avenue for the purposes of construction of street improvements; and declaring an emergency. CB 2948--An ordinance authorizing the institution of proceedings in eminent domain for the acquisition by condemnation of property interests along Willakenzie Road from Coburg Road east 1,700 feet for the purposes of street widening; and declaring an emergency. Mr. Holmer moved, seconded by Ms. Wooten, that the bills be read the second time by council bill numbers only, with unanimous consent of the council, and that enactment be considered at this time. The motion carried unanimously, 6:0. Mr. Holmer moved, seconded by Ms. Wooten, 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 No. 19452 (CB 2947) and Ordinance No. 19453 (CB 2948)).
