11:30 a.m.
COUNCILORS PRESENT: Betty Smith, Mark Lindberg, D. W. Hamel, Cynthia Wooten,
Gretchen Miller, Eric Haws, and Emily Schue.
COUNCILOR ABSENT: Brian Obie.
Adjourned meeting of the City Council of the City of Eugene, Oregon, was
called to order by His Honor Mayor Gus Keller.
I. ITEMS FROM MAYOR & COUNCIL, APPOINTMENTS, ANNOUNCEMENTS, AGENDA ADJUSTMENTS
A. Minutes Productivity
Councilor Lindberg stated that the council had received a memo from the City
Manager regarding an effort to improve productivity of meeting minutes and
to try to make them briefer. There is a balance between the uses of the minutes
for an information tool and the cost of producing them. He would hope that
shortening the minutes would be done on an experimental basis so staff can make
4It a decision in six months. Mr. Gleason responded that that is correct.
B. Cable Franchise/Rate Increase Discussion
Mr. Hamel stated that tomorrow would be the last meeting for the cable franchise
negotiations and there will likely be some changes in the franchise. These will
come back to the council for action.
Ms. Wooten asked if the commission would be voting on the rate increase request
tomorrow. Mr. Hamel responded that they would. Ms. Wooten asked what the
process is for the public to provide input on the audit. She also asked if this
information can be made available to the council. Mr. Hamel stated that the
negotiated agreements cannot be made public until tomorrow. The negotiations
have been held in closed sessions. Keith Martin, City Attorney, and Kent
Gorham, City Manager's Office, have been doing the negotiations for the Cable
Commission with a representative from Springfield and Teleprompter. The sub-
stance of the negotiations will be made public tomorrow. Ms. Wooten asked if
the City's representative would be voting in favor of the increase rate. Mr.
Hamel stated that public access has been a big issue in the franchise negotia-
tions as has improvements in service. They are hoping for additional channels
in the basic service. Ms. Wooten stated that unless the level of service is
commensurate with the industry thoroughout the rest of the country, she would
not favor the rate increase. Mr. Hamel stated that there really are no "industry

standards. II Every city and state is different. The Cable Commission is creating
its own standards. He thinks people will be more satisfied than previously.
Mayor Keller added that the council is one of the three final voices. All three
jurisdictions must approve the franchise amendments and that will allow public
input.
Mr. Haws asked how this will be brought before the council procedurally. Mr.
Hamel stated that the commission will vote tomorrow and then the three juris-
dictions will vote. Mr. Haws asked if there will be another public hearing
before the City Council prior to this being voted on and how it will be done.
Mr. Hamel responded that he is not sure. It will be up to the council to make
the decision on the franchise. Mr. Gleason added that after the commission
makes their position public, there will be a formal public hearing and then the
recommendation is made to the governing bodies. The governing bodies then
examine the recommendation and it is up to the three agencies in separate
meetings to determine what will occur. So, there will be four more public
hearings. Mr. Haws asked if there would be another City Council public hearing
on this matter. Carol Baker, City Manager's Office, stated that the commission
has the authority to set the rates, but their decision will reflect the nego-
tiated package of the service changes. Any changes in the franchise would have
to be acted on by the City Council. The public hearing could be held at that
time. A public hearing on the rate increase has been held. After tomorrow's
report is in, there will be another public hearing. Mr. Haws asked if the
council disagrees with the commission's position, if they will be able to
change the position. Ms. Baker responded that the rate decision is the purview
of the commission and the franchise changes are the decision of the individual
jurisdictions. Mr. Haws asked if that has to be voted on at the next commis-
sion meeting. Ms. Baker responded that the franchise requires that after
Teleprompter makes its rate request of the commission, the commission must make
a decision within 90 days or Teleprompter will automatically gain the request.
The 29th of January is the 90th day. So, they must make a decision or the rate
request will be granted. They could, however, ask Teleprompter to extend the
deadline and they might be able to negotiate that. Mr. Gleason added that the
council created the commission and delegated the rate setting to them. The
contractual franchise agreement was not delegated and the rates are being
negotiated. The commission is trying to re-establish the contractual standards.
The council will deliberate on a franchise contractual relationship with the
provider and the City of Eugene, as will Lane County and Springfield. He thinks
it would take an amendment in the intergovernmental agreement to take over the
authority of rate setting.
Mr. Haws asked what would happen if everyone voted no on the rate request. Mr.
Gleason stated that the rates would then not increase. Mr. Haws stated that if
the commission voted no, they could change their minds, but if they voted yes,
they could not. Les Swanson, City Attorney, stated that tomorrow the commission
will meet on rate setting and decide whether or not to increase the rates. If
the rates are increased, that could be contingent upon certain changes in the
franchise relationship. Then, the council would be able to decide on the
conditions and there would be a public hearing so that input could be received.

The commission does have the authority to set the rates. Councilors who are
interested in this issue should contact either commission members or Keith
Martin and let their views be known so they can be taken into consideration.
The structure of the decision may make the decision on whether the council has
anything to say about it. Mr. Haws stated that approving or denying the rate
increase may do away with the leverage for the other things desired. Mr.
Swanson agreed that the commission may not just say lIyes" or "noll on the rate
increase. They could impose conditions which may require changes in the
franchise.
Mr. Haws asked how much leeway there is and if the commission could require, as
a condition, that the council hold a public hearing. Ms. Baker stated that
three things are being dealt with: goal-setting, the three-year review, and the
rate increase. The rates and services will be considered in the negotiations
for the rate increase. Tomorrow's report will be a large determining factor as
to whether the commission approves the rate request. Conditions could be put
upon the rate request approval.
Ms. Miller asked if audits have been made public. Ms. Baker responded that they
have. This occurred after the last public hearing. Copies have been made
available at the meetings, in the City Manager's Office, and announced in the
newspaper.
Ms. Wooten asked what would happen if one agency did not approve the request if
the rate increase is contingent upon issues dealing with the franchise. She
asked if it would take two votes to deny the increase. Mr. Swanson responded
that all jurisdictions must concur unanimously with any changes in the fran-
chise. Ms. Wooten stated that if the negotiated package is made available
tomorrow to the commission, a public hearing is held, then the decision is to
be made, she sees that as a short time to get public input regarding the ser-
vices and programs or justification of the rate request. Ms. Baker stated that
the commission had been working on this since last May. They have formed three
subcommittees: 1) Franchise fee; 2) Public Access; and 3) Programming and
Services. Many citizens have been involved; all their input has been consid-
ered. There has been an extensive amount of public involvement. Ms. Wooten
noted appreciation for the opportunities there have been for involvement, but
she is concerned that the package delivery may fall short and not merit the rate
increase. She asked if there would be a greater level of funding available for
public access than that proposed originally by Teleprompter. Ms. Baker said
that that is one item in the negotiations. Mr. Hamel added that the commission
is being "hard-nosed," and they will not be satisfied with past performances.
They will be working for the dollar1s worth. This process began in January
1981. Ms. Baker stated that the commission has a history of not approving rate
increases. No increases have been approved in six years.
Mr. Haws stated that they seem to have nothing to lose if they vote yes. He
asked what there is to be lost if they vote no. Ms. Baker responded that they
might lose public access, better programming, and improvements to the system.
Mr. Haws asked if Teleprompter would come back and ask for a rate increase
again if it were denied. Ms. Baker responded that they probably would. Mr.

Haws stated that he does not see what harm there would be if the commission
voted no and changed their minds after the public hearing. Mr. Gleason stated
that the negotiations are occurring in good faith under an intergovernmental
agreement. The council as a whole has not taken a position for service improve-
ments. If improvements can be achieved, then the decision will be shared
between the commission and the agencies.
e
Ms. Miller stated that her concern is not with the content of the agreement,
since that is unknown, but rather that it seems unfair to announce what it
will be with no time for public input. They could impose conditions so that
the agencies could have public hearings. Many people are upset with this
major issue; they are also frustrated without knowing what is being considered.
Perhaps the council should have been involved sooner. Mr. Swanson assured
Ms. Miller that he has heard the council IS concern. Although he is not sure
just what can be done, he will take those concerns to Mr. Martin this after-
noon. Ms. Wooten added to Ms. Miller's statement that she agrees with Mr.
Haws. In order to protect the ability to further negotiate, it would be helpful
if the commission voted no. Mayor Keller stated that the purpose for establish-
ment of the commission was because the council did not want that level of
involvement. Before too much more is said, background information is needed.
Ms. Wooten stated that there would be opportunity for that if the increase were
denied. Ms. Schue stated that it is one thing to tie the rate increase to the
franchise changes but she does not like denying the increase in order to keep
the City's options open. However, she would like to look at the whole package.
Mr. Hamel stated that the City Council does not have jurisdiction to control the
rate increase. What the commission decides will be up to the commission. There
will be opportunities to review the franchise. Ms. Smith stated that even
though the commission has the right to decide, this input should be conveyed to
the City Attorney. The City Council does not have the responsibility, but they
do have a high degree of concern and would like further input and a report back.
She cautioned staff not to ignore the concerns of the council.
Ms. Miller asked Mr. Hamel to convey the council IS comments to the commission.
Mr. Hamel stated that he would. Ms. Baker added that she had just talked
with Mr. Gorham and had delivered the message.
C. Clean-Up Project
Ms. Schue requested that a letter be sent to Eugene Action Forum and Sigma Nu
Fraternity thanking them for cleaning up the entrance to the city on 1-5 and
Franklin Boulevard.
D. Letter To Congressional Delegation
Ms. Schue stated that she had received a letter from the president of the
Federal University Professors regarding the proposed Federal cuts in student
loans. She asked the council to support the concerns by being a co-signer on
a letter to the Oregon Congressional Delegation.

the University of Oregon.

and Hatfield.
Roll call vote; motion carried unanimously.
E. Bar Poll Questionnaire
e
Ms. Miller stated that the proposed bar poll questionnaire regarding the munici-
pal judge evaluation had been sent out in last Friday's packets. She is still
working on this and would like the councilors' input soon.
F. City Council Subcommittee on Economic Development
Ms. Wooten stated that she would be attending a meeting of this group on
February 10 and would be making a presentation to the council on their progress,
which she feels is significant.
G. Contract Negotiations With Bonneville Power Authority
Ms. Wooten stated that she had invited Jean Reeder, Conservation Director,
EWEB, to appear before the council and make a presentation on conservation,
buybacks, and contract negotiations with Bonneville Power Authority. She will
be making her presentation February 10, 1982.
H. Appointments

III. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. Code Amendments re: Zoning Ordinance: 1) AG Agricultural Zoning
District Uses (CA 81-1); 2) General Provisions: Performance Standards
(CA 81-2); 3) M-1, M-2, and M-3 Industrial Zoning District Uses (CA
81-3); 4) Floodway Use Provisions (CA 81-4); 5) Residential Site
Review, Planned Unit Development, and Conditional Use Permit Pro-
visions (CA 81-5); 6) Controlled Income and Rent Housing Provisions
(CA 81-6); and 7) Planned Unit Development Findings (CA 81-7) (memo
and background information distributed)
Mr. Gleason introduced Gary Chenkin, Planning. Mr. Chenkin stated that this is
the first of two installments which are part of the acknowledgment process of
the Metro Plan by LCDC. LCDC pointed out areas in the Zoning Ordinance which
need to be changed. The Planning Department has also prepared a Zoning Ordinance
Update Status memo for the council, and Mr. Chenkin will be present at the
February 10, 1982, meeting, if the council wants to ask questions.
Item 1 would remove non-agricultural uses from the AG district. Item 2 referred
to emission standards for noise, standards for heat, etc.. Existing standards
are obsolete and difficult to enforce or explain. The staff has tried to update
them according to present technology and Federal and State statutes when possible.
The only real item of discussion at the Planning Commission level was noise
emission standards. Joyce Owens, a citizen, complained about a heat pump noise
in her residential district. She has talked with Terry Smith, Public Works.
The updated standards would help her. Mr. Chenkin stated that there are some
references to the I-I district which does not yet exist. Either the council can
approve this today or they can remove references to the 1-1 zoning.

No.3 removes references to commercial uses in industrial districts. Those that
exist would be allowed to continue in business and could rebuild or expand. It
is advisable to protect existing businesses. Certain non-industrial uses, when
they provide services to industrial uses, would be allowed; e.g., banks, restau-
rants, gas stations, etc.
No.5 replaces subjective with objective approval criteria. The provisions of
No.6 are rarely used, but they should be updated and keyed to State and Federal
requirements. No.7 would not allow PUDs in areas of unique vegetation or open
space if alternative buildable areas are available on particular sites.
Public hearing was opened.
Jim Saul, PO Box 1650, Eugene, stated there are two elements that he had a con-
cern with. One is modifications to performance standards in the 1-1 District
and recommended standards. Testimony has been submitted on behalf of Cone-Breeden,
Spectra-Physics, and the West Terry Street site. The report was distributed
December 14, 1981. A portion of that report dealt with this topic. He distrib-
uted copies. Performance standards require that certain emissions be confined
to within boundaries in the 1-1 district. They have concerns about such a
restrictive emission standard. It was assumed that the I-I areas would be
attractive to high technology uses and the high standards would be necessary to
attain the desired environment. However, this was not verified by direct
contact with industry. They urged the special 1-1 restrictions not be adopted.
Their concerns are that it would impose exceedingly high expense without cor-
responding benefits. Standards this high have been used in only a limited
number of jurisdictions. Sometimes it would be impossible to meet these stan-
dards if they were rigorously applied. They also introduce a major element of
uncertainty. It does not state what technology would be required; Mr. Saul
suggested that there be a provision for pre-clearance review. If adopted, this
restrictive 1-1 standard could place Eugene at a competitive disadvantage within
the state since no other jurisdictions have similar standards. Since it will
cost more, then why would people build in Eugene? When the Planning Commission
reviewed the 1-1 district, it had not recommended changes to performance stan-
dards for the 1-1 district. Instead, they saw them later. Mr. Saul urged
limiting emissions to the property of origin in the 1-1 district. That was the
standard required of Spectra-Physics when it located here. That would provide
consistency with other industrial district performance standards as being
proposed.
Mr. Saul stated that the second element of concern is that dealing with Item 6.
He represented the Lane County Housing Authority on their project at 38th and
Hilyard. It was approved by the Hearings Official January 25, 1982. The
present code is complex and cumbersome. There were 24 criteria they had to
meet. There is substantial overlap between this set of criteria and those
criteria imposed for that project, but they are worded differently. He would
urge adoption of the proposed changes provided it does not have an effect on the
LCHA current project. An appeal could be filed and they are concerned that they
will be held up, being heard again under different standards. They want to

ensure adoption of the revised standards, but they would like to see the motion
include language exempting the current project at 38th and Hilyard. He distrib-
uted draft suggested language.
There being no further testimony, the public hearing was closed.
Ms. Smith asked Mr. Saul what the final recommendation was on the performance
standards. Mr. Saul responded that it is to apply the same performance stand-
ards in I-I as in other industrial zones. Ms. Schue asked if this could be
considered when the I-I zoning comes up. Mr. Chenkin responded that it could.
But, if council desires, they could also include in the motion tonight that any
reference to I-I zoning be deleted. It is a policy decision for the council to
make. In Item 6, their intent was to consol idate rather than to make more
stringent or rigorous conditions. He would suggest that the City Attorney
review Mr. Saul's suggested wording to make sure that the intent is met.
Regarding all seven items, a detailed report was received from LCDC as to where
they saw problems. LCDC staff worked with staff to overcome the problems that
the LCDC board had. Their staff said that these changes would work.
Ms. Schue asked who was responsible for the proposal to impose special emission
levels for the I-I district. Mr. Chenkin responded it was a staff proposal but
of course the final decision is up to the council. Mr. Hamel asked if the heat
pump situation noted earlier was in a residential or commercial zone. Mr.
Chekin stated that it was in a residential area. Ms. Smith added that there
have been other concerns expressed about heat pumps, and she is glad to see
there may be some protective measures. She asked if the I-I district could be
excluded for now. She is concerned about imposing highly restrictive emission
standards and about the City's image. She would not want the City to appear
negative. She suggested holding off on that part. Mr. Chenkin stated that they
could delete that section for now and if it becomes a problem later, staff can
bring back the amendment at that time. The proposed performance standards
should provide adequate safeguards. Ms. Miller indicated agreement with Mr.
Chenkin's statement, and noted that she would like to see special enforcement
created. However, she would not want to see things made more difficult for
those trying to comply. She is concerned about people taking advantage of the
lack of restrictions. She requested that staff "keep an eye" on this item.
Regarding No.3, Mayor Keller added that existing businesses today are allowed
the opportunity to expand on the property they own. He asked what would happen
if they needed additional adjacent land at a later time and how these regulations
would apply in that case. Mr. Chenkin stated that the language is intended to
exempt existing businesses from non-conforming provisions, but they might not be
able to expand onto another piece of property on a different ownership. He does
not feel this would be much of a problem with the kinds of businesses that now
exist. Mr. Swanson indicated that this could be checked out.
Ms. Wooten suggested possible postponement of the final consideration of
No.2 until they can look at the Special Light Industrial District package.
Ms. Smith suggested postponing only the one section on separate standards for
I-I issues and bringing it back later for a review. Mayor Keller stated that
unless the council felt strongly about putting more restrictive standards in
I-I areas, they could deal with it today. He would think it unfortunate if
Eugene were stricter than other areas.

Mr. Lindberg expressed concern about the Federal government's current relaxa-
tion of their emission standards. He asked how the City's standards would
differ from the Federal government's. Mr. Chenkin stated that if the City is
more restrictive than the Federal or state governments, then the City's standards
would prevail. Mr. Lindberg asked what is happening on the State level. Terry
Smith, Public Works, stated that changes at the State level have more to do with
enforcement than changes in standards. One change is with pure tones and noise.
Staff would prefer it if Eugene's standards were like the State's because we
will have to do the enforcement. LRAPA enforces here and would have to agree to
relax their standards also. Federal and State governments have relaxed the
amount of acceptable ozone level, but LRAPA has refused. Mr. Lindberg asked
whether the City will have to start enforcing since the State's ability to
enforce is lessened. Mr. Smith responded that is likely. Performance standards
can be required at the time of attaining a building permit. Mr. Lindberg stated
that he certainly does not want the City to end up with no standards. Ms. Wooten
also expressed concern about Federal relaxation of emission requirements. She
would like to take another look at the entire package.
Mr. Gleason, observing the direction expressed by the majority of the council,
stated that in Council Bill 2412, references to separate I-I performance standards
would be removed.
