The regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Eugene was called to order by His Honor Mayor Brian B. Obie. 1. PUBLIC FORUM Mayor Obie said the Public Forum is an opportunity for citizens to express opinions and provide information to the council about issues that are not scheduled for council consideration. He said the council will not respond immediately to concerns expressed in the forum. He said police action on May 7 at the Cal Young Middle School was discussed at the Public Forum on May 11, 1987. e Kirk Kneeland, 2637 Forrester Way, discussed his feelings about police action during the recent teachers' strike in School District 4J. He said five teachers were pulled off the ground, handcuffed) and led to patrol cars by .. police officers at the Cal Young Middle School on May 7) 1987. One of the teachers was his wife. He said his wife was angry because the people being arrested had done nothing to merit arrest, because the police officers were showing their power, because Cal Young teachers were being made an example to satisfy frustrated community members critical of police restraint) and because a police officer who was dictating the arrests from across the street had indicated that the teachers' actions were orderly and lawful. Mr. Kneeland said his wife will have a police record. He said bitter memories of May 7, 1987, will not go away for him or the staff at Cal Young Middle School. He said none of the five teachers has been arraigned or formally charged. He said he has not been able to obtain a police report of his wife's arrest from the District Attorney's Office. He asked the council to investigate the arrests. Mayor Obie said he and the council have received a report of police conduct during the teachers' strike. He asked the City Manager to investigate the status of the charges and report to the council. There being no more requests to testify) Mayor Obie closed the public forum. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 8, 1987 Page 1 II. PUBLIC HEARING: CENTRAL AREA TRANSPORTATION STUDY e City Manager Micheal Gleason introduced the item. Dave Reinhard of the Public Works staff gave the staff report. He said copies of a June 4, 1987, letter from Robert H. Belknap, Suite C200, 895 Country Club Road, and a June 8, 1987, letter from Jim Traver, 20 East 30th Avenue, were distributed to the council. He discussed the letters. Mr. Reinhard said the councilors received recommendations concerning the Central Area Transportation Study (CATS) from the Planning Commission. Questions about the CATS asked by the councilors at a study session on May 20 were answered in the staff notes. He said the council is scheduled to take action on the CATS and forward a parking and circulation plan to the Lane Regional Air Pollution Authority (LRAPA) on June 17, 1987. Mr. Reinhard said there is some information in the CATS about the opening of Willamette Street between 8th and 10th avenues to vehicular traffic. However, a decision about the opening will be made during consideration of the Urban Renewal Plan Update. A public hearing on the plan update will be held on July 13. Answering questions from Mayor Obie, Kirk McKinley of the Planning Department said several owners of property on Willamette Street between 23rd Avenue and 24th Place have asked that their residentially zoned properties be rezoned for general office use. He said the Planning Commission recommended that the property owners initiate a Metropolitan Area General Plan amendment to change the designation of their properties. The Planning staff will contact Robert Belknap to tell him of the commission's recommendation. e . Replying to other questions from Mayor Obie, Mr. Reinhard said analyses in the CATS indicate that air quality and traffic circulation in the downtown will not be affected very much by vehicular traffic on Willamette Street between 8th and 10th avenues. He suggested that statements in CATS concerni ng Willamette Street between 8th and 10th avenues be marked with asterisks when the council adopts the study. The asterisks will indicate that a decision about the street will be made in the Urban Renewal Plan Update. Mr. Holmer asked about the rationale for recommending a deletion from Recommendation #6 on page 4 of CATS of a statement concerning the financing of parking structures by developers. Mr. Reinhard responded that the Downtown Commission considered the statement to be too restrictive because parking facilities in the downtown are usually financing by tax increment or other area financing plans. Mayor Obie opened the public hearing. Boyd Iverson, 1158 High Street, said he is unofficial spokesperson for 12 of the 14 property owners on Willamette Street between 23rd Avenue and 24th Place. He said the owners would like the properties rezoned from R-3 to the GO General Office zoning district. He said the property owners will have to pay a fee if they initiate a Metro Plan amendment to change the designation of the properties and, if the amendment is approved, they will have to pay a fee to e MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 8, 1987 Page 2 e get the properties rezoned. He suggested the City initiate a Metro Plan amendment because no refinement plan for the area has been completed. In that case, property owners would not have to pay a fee for the Metro Plan amendment. If the owners must initiate the plan amendment, he asked that they be charged only one fee for both the amendment and the rezoning. Mayor Obie said Mr. Iverson will have to work with the Planning staff to process his requests. Jim Gaderlund, 1937 Willamette, said he opposes the proposal for two-way vehicular traffic on Willamette Street from 13th to 20th avenues. He said a study of businesses on Willamette Street between 11th and 13th avenues was proposed to see if the busi nesses benefitted from the change to two-way traffic. He urged completion of the study. There being no additional requests to testify, Mayor Obie closed the public hearing. Mr. Reinhard said the council will be asked to provide direction on the land use issues raised in the CATS. Consequently, the council will consider uses on Willamette Street between 23rd Avenue and 24th Place. Mr. McKinley said the Development Department staff has talked with business owners on Willamette Street between 11th and 13th avenues. The street has been open to two-way traffic only a short time, and business owners indicate that business has not changed. A study will be done in about a year. e Answering a question from Ms. Bascom and Ms. Ehrman, Mr. McKinley said recommendations in the CATS reinforce residential uses on Willamette Street between 19th Avenue and 24th Place. He said the Downtown Commission has not responded to the Planning Commission recommendation to maintain one-way traffic on Willamette Street between 13th and 20th avenues. Ms. Bascom said the Planning Commission recommendation indicated that the issue of two-way traffic on Willamette Street from 13th to 20th avenues may be reviewed periodically. She said the wording should be more precise. She suggested a review every two years. Ms. Schue agreed with Ms. Bascom's suggestion. Mayor Obie said he does not agree with Ms. Bascom's suggestion. III. PUBLIC HEARING: CHAPTER 3 ORDINANCE REVISION -- REFUSE COLLECTION RATE FOR MECHANIZED CURBSIDE SERVICE City Manager Micheal Gleason introduced Wallace Swanson, chairperson of the Refuse and Recycling Board. Mr. Swanson introduced Anita Fletcher and Jill Gaydos, the other members of the board. Mr. Swanson said the garbage collection industry is very competitive. He said the mechanized gO-gallon container service is new and the City does not have an established rate for it. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 8, 1987 Page 3 e Mr. Swanson said the Refuse and Recycling Board met with the garbage haulers. The board recommends approval of the proposed ordinance which includes all established garbage collection rates and a $10 rate for the mechanized 90- gallon container service. The board also recommends that the 90-gallon rate be reviewed in a year. Answering a question from Mr. Holmer, Mr. Swanson said the 90-gallon rate is the only new rate in the proposed ordinance. Mr. Miller said it is important that the 90-gallon mechanized service be monitored so that containers are not left at the curbs where they may become prey for vandals and homes for flies. He suggested the Refuse and Recycling Board work with industry representatives to mitigate the effects of the new service. Mr. Swanson said an education program is needed and the board will meet monthly with industry representatives. Mayor Obie opened the public hearing. John Hire, 3935 Spring Boulevard, said he is the General Manager of Sanipac. He said the proposed $10 rate is a logical bench mark for the 90-gallon container service and the haulers support the rate. He said Greta Utecht of the Development Department has done a good job of staffing the Refuse and Recycling Board and learning about the mechanized service. He said the service is new and changing. He said the haulers agree that the the proposed rates will enable them to provide the traditional garbage collection and recycling service, as well as the mechanized service, in a safe, responsible; ~ and secure way. There being no additional requests to testify, Mayor Obie closed the public hearing. CB 2962--An ordinance concerning refuse collection rates; adding a mechanized curbside collection minimum fee schedule for 0-90 gallon containers; 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 suggested the City reconsider its role in regulating the garbage collection industry. He discussed the rates in the proposed ordinance and the process of obtaining a rate for the mechanized 90-gallon container service. He said cities should enforce public health measures and control pollution. He said the City does what it should if it ensures that industry representatives protect public health, control pollution, and abide by the law. Mr. Holmer read some of the rates in the proposed ordinance. He said they are very precise and the City will have to rely on the haulers. He said he favors e MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 8, 1987 Page 4 e a free market so that new developments can be integrated. He suggested a licensing or some other procedure to ensure that rules are followed. He said he opposes the motion. Ms. Schue said the City sets minimum rates for garbage collection and Eugene has not had the unpleasant experiences with garbage collection that some other cities have had. She said approval of the proposed ordinance is wise. Ms. Ehrman said the council, the Refuse and Recycling Board, and industry representatives have worked well together. She said the council decided it wanted to regulate the industry as little as possible by setting minimum rates. She said she is glad the new rate will be reviewed in a year. Mr. Holmer thanked the staff and the Refuse and Recycling Board members for their work. He said he just disagrees with them. The motion carried unanimously, 8:0. Council Bill 2962 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. Roll call vote; the motion carried, 7:1 with Councilors Ehrman, Schue, Wooten, Bascom, Rutan, Miller, and Bennett voting aye and Councilor Holmer voting nay. The bill was declared passed (and became Ordinance No. 19479). e Mayor Obie thanked the Refuse and Recycling Board members for their work. IV. PUBLIC HEARING: LOCAL AND REGIONAL SEWER USER FEE RATES City Manager Micheal Gleason introduced the item. Public Works Director Chris Andersen gave the staff report. She said the council held work sessions on proposed sewer rates on April 22, May II, and June 2. She said the sewer rate citizens pay is composed of a local and a regional rate. The Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission (MWMC) held a public hearing on the proposed regional rate. The MWMC requested a reduction of five percent in the operating and administration budget and use of the reserves. MWMC then recommended approval of a $4.91 rate for a typical single family residence. Ms. Andersen said the council reviewed four options for local sewer rates at its last work session. Mayor Obie opened the public hearing. He said the councilors received copies of letters from Stephen Duffy, President of Eugene Linen, and Tom Kyle, Plant Manager for Chef Francisco, Inc. Mary Bentsen, 950 West 16th Avenue, said she would support an increase in sewer rates if the council assured her the money would be used for the sewers or other needed things. She questioned the council IS priorities for spending money. She said the City should provide for the safety of citizens by - MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 8, 1987 Page 5 e providing adequate police and fire services. She said the City should also adequately fund the replacement and repair of streets and sewers. She said there are severe sewer problems in the older parts of Eugene. Ms. Bentsen said plans to enlarge the Eugene Library were completed in 1979. Since then, the council has undertaken other projects. She said she has not been told how much money has been spent on economic development but it has not resulted in bringing any companies to Eugene. The money spent on economic development has not benefitted her or the city as a whole. She said she objects to the extension of sewers to the Willow Creek area and the development of the Riverfront Research Park. She asked the councilors why an increase in sewer rates is necessary. Mayor Obie suggested Ms. Bentsen obtain a copy of the material on sewer rates received by the council. Dick Beers, 2185 Carmel, said he opposes the proposed increase in sewer rates. He said he opposes the use of City funds outside the city limits and he does not approve of spending City funds in the River Road area. He asked why the beginning working capital in the budget was decreased $3.1 million. Mr. Beers said the Consumer Price Index in Portland is 3.2 percent but Eugene is requesting a 6 percent increase in sewer rates. He said the only growth in Eugene last year was annexation of properties in the River Road area. He said the City requests additional funds each year. He suggested the City decrease the operating costs of the sewer fund five percent. He asked how much the total sewer charges will be. e Tom Kyle, 2757 Kismet Way, is Plant Manager of Chef Francisco. He said the .. company uses about five million gallons of water a month. He said he understands that an increase in sewer rates is needed because the wastewater treatment plant is oversized. He said Chef Francisco is considering an expansion of its plant here and continuous rate increases will jeopardize the expansion. Mr. Kyle suggested initiation of an efficiency study or anything else that will stop the sewer rate increasing. Mr. Bennett said people should be careful about indicating that jobs will be used as hostages. He said the same issue is often raised when rezonings are requested. He said he is tired of such statements. He said the councilors want a good economic climate. He said Mr. Kyle should say so if sewer rates are critical to a decision about expanding the Chef Francisco plant. He said Mr. Kyle should say so if the company will not expand in Eugene if the sewer rates are increased even one percent. Mr. Kyle responded that sewer rates are a consideration in Chef Francisco's expansion plans. Mayor Obie suggested Mr. Kyle present the council with a comparison of projected sewer costs here and sewer costs in other communities. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 8, 1987 Page 6 e e e Steve Duffy, 2372 Rockwood, is President of Eugene Linen. He said people were asked to present comparative information about sewer rates to the council on very short notice and many people could not attend the hearing. He asked the council to reconsider the proposed 12 percent increase in sewer rates. He said sewer rates were raised two years ago and business owners were told then that it was the end of dramatic increases in sewer charges. He said businesses like his that use much water cannot afford the proposed 12 percent increase. He said the sewer rates put such businesses at a competitive disadvantage. He said his business employs 63 people in Eugene. Mr. Duffy suggested the council instruct the staff to evaluate its efficiency rather than spend time justifying big rate increases. He said hundreds of thousands of dollars spent by commercial users on water conservation have been offset by sewer rate increases. Mr. Duffy said City policies make it difficult for existing businesses to succeed in Eugene. He said many dairies, beverage distributors, and laundries do not maintain plants in Eugene. They serve this area from other cities. He said Eugene's good supply of clean water is an advantage in recruiting industries but that advantage is offset by unaffordable sewer rates. Mr. Duffy said he serves on the MWMC. He suggested the council follow MWMC's example and direct the staff to decrease operating expenses. He also recommended an efficiency study of sewer maintenance. Mr. Duffy said sewer rates were increased 300 percent in 1982 and 34 percent in 1985. Now, a 12 percent increase is proposed. He asked when the increases will stop. .. John Timmons, 2825 El i nor, said he represented the Eugene Area Chamber of Commerce. He said he supports the regi ona 1 sewer rate recommended by the MWMC, although he questioned completing a performance audit after a rate increase. He said sewer rate stability is very important and increases in costs should be paid for by increased use of the sewer system. He said budgeting for the sewer system should be based on existing revenues plus customer growth. Cost should be cut and additional customers aggressively sought if existing revenues are not sufficient. He said the staff reports do not justify the proposed rate increase. There being no additional requests to testify, Mayor Obie closed the public hearing. Responding to the testimony, Ms. Andersen said the sewer system is supported primarily by user charges. The capital projects the sewer fund finances are primarily rehabilitation or reconstruction of existing sewers. The exceptions are the River Road lateral sewers in the FY88 budget. She said the $3.3 million in reserves was used to match Federal grants for the extension of sewers to the River Road/Santa Clara area and will be recovered as the area is annexed. Ms. Andersen said she will meet with Ms. Bentsen to discuss the use of sewer funds. She said the budget was developed to maintain the existing system. MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 8, 1987 Page 7 e Ms. Andersen said the Wastewater Treatment Plant will accommodate growth for 20 years but the operating costs have stabilized and the Department of Envi ronmenta 1 Qua 1 ity (DEQ) and Envi ronmenta 1 Protection Authori ty (EPA) requirements are being met. She said the rates of commercial water and sewer users were subsidized by other users in the past. The EPA grants which fi nanced the construction of the wastewater treatment plant and other facilities required that rates for all users be fair and equitable. Therefore, rates for commercial users have risen in the last few years. Mr. Gleason said the operating costs of the Wastewater Treatment Plant are affected by the EPA standards for Eugene which are much more stringent than the EPA requirements for Portland. Answering a question from Mayor Obie, Mr. Gleason said the EPA standards cannot be exceeded. The treatment plant has operated somewhat below the standards most of the time. He said the plant design does not affect the cost of meeting the standards. Referring to statements in Mr. Kyle1s letter about decommissioning part of the treatment plant, Coy Jones, Wastewater Treatment Plant Superintendent, said closing part of the plant would not increase its efficiency or decrease costs. e Ms. Bascom said she is concerned about capital needs in the future. She said the staff should indicate when the sewer rate increases will end or the staff will lose council support. Ms. Andersen said the regional sewer rates will be relatively stable in the future because increases in costs for treating increased flows will be marginal. She said the local rate will be relatively stable because of better flow calculations. Future increases will be due to capital costs. She said the staff will recommend ways to mitigate rate increases in the Storm Drainage Study. Mr. Bennett said he supported the staff recommendation because the staff analyses indicate that reserves were used in the past to keep rates down. Now the reserves are gone. He said the proposed increases are needed because the flow estimates were not exactly accurate. He said the council decided to fi nance the sewer system wi th user fees. He said no evi dence has been presented that the local sewer fees make the community unattractive to new industries. He said he will listen carefully to other councilors before voting again. Mr. Miller said the decision is difficult. He said an efficient wastewater system is important, existing revenues have been depleted, and the council decided that users should pay for the sewer system. He said Chamber of Commerce representatives lobbied him. He said he hopes for economies and rate stability. He suggested the council consider mitigating the rate increases for businesses that use much water if comparisons indicate that Eugene rates are high. He did not want to put the wastewater management system at risk. Ms. Schue said the City has done all it can to encourage people in the River Road/Santa Clara to hook up to the Eugene sewers. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 8, 1987 Page 8 e Answering a question from Mr. Rutan, Mayor Obie said this meeting provides an opportunity for the councilors to discuss sewer rates and, if they wish, change the direction given the City Manager on June 2, 1987. Mr. Rutan said the sewer system has gotten more costly unpredictably and the staff explained why. He said a different solution from the proposed increases is needed. Mr. Holmer agreed with Mr. Rutan. Mr. Holmer displayed a report on wastewater management for the National Council on Public Works Improvement. He said the budget process for wastewater management in Eugene does not provi de confidence. He suggested that the staff be required to operate the system at less than the proposed rate. Mayor Obie said he does not want businesses to move to other areas because of high sewer rates here. He said additional solutions are needed. He said he does not support the recommended rate. He said the problem is severe, significant, and continuing. Ms. Wooten suggested the staff rearrange the elements and present new options to the council. She said she does not think any of the present options are appropriate. Mr. Gleason responded that the four options presented to the council are based on the ~osts of operating the sewer system. He discussed the options and said they represent all the information available. e Mr. Bennett said he wants to retain the businesses in the community. Responding to his question, Mayor Obie said a six percent increase would provide for inflation, wage increases, and other increases. He said 12 percent is too much. He said the council can indicate that the plant should be - operated at a specific cost. Ms. Schue emphasized that the cost of operating the Wastewater Treatment Plant is in the regional sewer rate. The council is considering the local rate which involves the maintenance of the sewer system, the largest trunk lines and pump stations, storm sewers, and street sweeping. She said street sweeping could be decreased. Mr. Miller said the staff recommendation includes shifting some positions from the Genera 1 Fund to the sewer fund because the peop 1 e work on sewers. He suggested that shifting the positions be phased, although that would necessitate reconsidering the City budget, He said the council could take money from other places in the budget and apply it to the sewer fund. He emphasized that a safe sewer system is very important and that it is not wise to approve rates so low that costs will be increased in the future. Mr. Gleason said the recommended rate ($6.35) is an increase of six percent for each of the next two years and the $6.13 rate (Opion #2) is a 4.5 percent increase each of the next two years. He said wage contracts will probably necessiate a three percent increase and the flow corrections will probably necessiate a one percent increase. Consequently, a four percent increase is needed to maintain the existing level of service. He said the $6.13 rate would provide .5 percent for recovering working capital and cash balances and - MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 8, 1987 Page 9 would be financial responsible. Rates below that would mean decreases in existing operating and capital expenses, e Ms. Bascom again expressed concern about future capital needs and said she prefers the $6.35 rate with a requirement that reserves be accumulated. Mr. Gleason pointed out that the council controls capital expenditures. Respnding to a comment from Mayor Obie, Mr. Gleason said sewer charges are included on Eugene Water & Electric Board (EWEB) bills. He said EWEB requires implementation of an ordinance changing the rates before July 1. Otherwise, EWEB wi 11 not change the rates for two months. Therefore, he hoped the council will decide about the rates on June 10, 1987. Answering a question from Mayor Obie, George Jessie of the Public Works Department said the MWMC recommended about a 6.5 percent rate increase in the regional sewer rate for each of the next two years. The rates would not be staggered. V. PUBLIC HEARING: AMENDMENTS TO THE EUGENE CODE REGARDING ANNEXATIONS (CA 86-3) City Manager Micheal Gleason introduced the item. Gary Chenkin of the Planning Department gave the staff report. He said the proposed changes to Chapter 9 of the City Code clarify the annexation criteria. He said one change would substitute "orderly, efficient, and timely" for "logical" in the description of service delivery boundaries. The other change would permit consideration of non-contiguous residential and commercial land. Non- contiguous annexations are now limited to industrial land. He said some people have requested annexation of residential land because they would like ~ their properties to be connected to the City sewers. Mayor Obie opened the public hearing. There being no requests to testify, Mayor Obie closed the public hearing. CB 2963--An ordinance concerning annexations; amending Section 9.158 of the Eugene Code, 1971; 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. Roll call vote; the motion carried unanimously. Council Bill 2963 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. Roll call vote; all councilors present voting aye; the bill was declared passed (and became Ordinance No. 19480). - MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 8, 1987 Page 10 VI. RATIFICATION OF METROPOLITAN WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT COMMISSION (MWMC) FY88 BUDGET e City Manager Micheal Gleason said about 80 percent of the MWMC budget was presented to a Budget Subcommittee as the operating cost of the wastewater treatment plant. About 20 percent of the MWMC budget will provide a sludge site. He said the MWMC recommended approval of the budget. Ms. Ehrman moved, seconded by Mr. Holmer, to ratify the Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission Budget for FY88. Answering a question from Mayor Obie, Mr. Gleason said the MWMC budget is supported by the regional sewer charge which has been adopted by the Lane County Board of Supervisors and the Springfield City Council. If the Eugene City Council does not adopt the budget, the MWMC will have to reconsider its budget. He said the regional sewer rate does not affect the local rate. Mr. Bennett, the council1s representative on the MWMC, said he reviewed the budget. Mr. Holmer said the budget indicates the regional monthly sewer charge for a single-family dwelling will increase from $4.52 to $4.77 but the council was told earlier in the evening the charge will increase from $4.61 to $4.91. Mr. Whitlow responded that the flow based rate calculations for Eugene and Springfield are different. He discussed the differences and said he could present exact figures to the council on June 10. Mr. Holmer said the MWMC, Eugene, and Springfield should all use the same ~ assumptions in figuring regional rates. Mr. Rutan said he would like the minutes of the MWMC public hearing on regional sewer rates. He requested that the item be held over to June 10, 1987. Ms. Ehrman withdrew the motion. Mayor Obie said the item will be held over until June 10, 1987. VII. RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE SUPERCONDUCTING SUPER COLLIDER City Manager Micheal Gleason reviewed the members of the Southern Willamette Research Corridor and said they requested approval of a resolution recommending the Willamette Valley as the site of the superconducting super collider. Mayor Obie pointed out that the superconducting super collider was among the priorities for Federal action approved by the council in February 1987. Answering questions from Ms. Ehrman and Mr. Holmer, Jody Miller of the Intergovernmental Relations Division said two other sites in Oregon and ten other states are being considered as sites for the superconducting super collider. Mr. Gleason said the Nuclear Free Zone Task Force has not - MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 8, 1987 Page 11 considered the proposed resolution because the superconducting super collider has nothing to do with nuclear weapons. ~ Ms. Wooten pointed out that the superconducting super collider will not be within the city limits. Res. No. 4041--A resolution recommending the State of Oregon as the location for the siting of a superconducting super collider. Ms. Ehrman moved, seconded by Mr. Holmer, to adopt the resolution. Roll call vote; the motion carried unanimously, 8:0. VIII. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OF MEETING OF APRIL 8, 1987; AND APRIL 27, 1987; LUNCH/WORK SESSION OF MAY 13, 1987; AND DINNER/WORK SESSION OF MAY 18, 1987 Ms. Ehrman moved, seconded by Mr. Holmer, to approve the City Council minutes of April 8, 1987, April 27, 1987, May 13, 1987, and May 18,1987. Roll call vote; the motion carried unanimously,8:0. Mayor Obie adjourned the meeting at 9:30 p.m. to June 10, 1987. e (Recorded by Betty Lou Rarick) mncc0608 e MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 8, 1987 Page 12
