Schue, Betty Smith, Cynthia Wooten (commencement to

COUNCILOR ABSENT: Gretchen Miller.
Adjourned meeting of the City Council of the City of Eugene, Oregon, was called

At the request of Mayor Keller, Beth Campbell, Neighborhood Liaison, introduced
Cynthia Smith, who was visiting Eugene from California.
I. ITEMS FROM MAYOR & COUNCIL, APPOINTMENTS, ANNOUNCEMENTS, AGENDA ADJUSTMENTS
A. Notification of Financing Arrangements for Sidewalk Repairs
Councilor Wooten said that she had been contacted by citizens in her ward who
had received notice of the need to repair sidewalks adjacent to their property
and who felt that they could not pay for the work within the time frame outlined
in the notice. She said that she had talked with Bill Guenzler, Public Works
Maintenance Engineer, and that he had informed her of a program which would
allow people having such work done by the City to repay the costs over a twelve
month period with no interest charged. Ms. Wooten felt that when the original
notices are mailed they should contain information on this payment alternative.
City Manager Michael Gleason said that staff would look into the matter and
report back to the council.
B. National Historic Preservation Week Tour of Homes
Ms. Wooten offered her personal congratulations to the Historic Review Board for
the success of its May 9 walking tour. She said that over 850 people had
participated in the tour of historic homes.
C. Proposal for Council Meeting to be Held on Skinner Butte
Ms. Wooten said that she, Ms. Schue, and Mr. Obie had participated in the
celebration of the completion of the Eugene Actiori Forum's cleanup of the trail
to the top of Skinner Butte. She said that at that time Councilor Obie had
suggested holding a council meeting on top of the butte, to call attention to
the significance of the butte as a link between Valley River Center and the
Downtown Mall and as a significant landmark in the City's history. Ms. Wooten

felt this was an excellent suggestion and asked staff to pursue the possibility.
Mr. Obie added that media coverage of such an event would help publicize both
the existence of the path up the butte and of its proximity to Center Square and
downtown. Mike Gleason said staff would pursue suggestions.
Resolution Acknowledging Contribution of Eugene Arts Foundation
(resolution distributed)
D.
Mayor Keller read a resolution acknowledging the contribution of the Eugene Arts
Foundation and presented a copy of the resolution to foundation president Benson
Snyder.
Res. No. 3661--A resolution acknowledging the major contributions
of the Eugene Arts Foundation to the Eugene Perform-
ing Arts Center and to the arts community at large.
Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Ms. Schue, to adopt the resolution.
Roll call vote; motion carried unanimously.
e
D. Future of City as CETA Prime Sponsor
Mr. Lindberg said that he had attended a National League of Cities Conference at
which the future of the CETA program was discussed. He said it was predicted
that the Congress would adopt bills setting the cutoff for prime sponsorship at
a population figure of from 200,000 to 400,000. He said that such a move would
eliminate the City as a prime sponsor and suggested that the Eugene Private
Industry Council (EPIC) review the proposed legislation and return with a
resolution calling for retention of the City's status as a prime sponsor.
Responding to a question from Councilor Schue, Mr. Lindberg said that there was
a possibility that the City program could be considered as "grandfathered," but
that action was needed to even pursue that possibility. Ms. Smith said that she
had served on the advisory committee that had made the decision to have the City
become a prime sponsor. She strongly supported having the EPIC draft material
to be submitted to the Oregon Congressional delegation. Ms. Schue said that,
as one of the council representatives to the EPIC, she would see that this
matter is pursued.
E. Cooperation with Area Veterinarians
Councilor Lindberg said that as the City's representative to the Tri-Agency Spay
and Neuter Clinic, he had recently attended a meeting of local veterinarians.
As a result of information and ideas exchanged at that meeting, Mr. Lindberg
suggested that the City investigate the possibility of engaging in an information-
gathering project with the veterinarians to determine the level of spay and
neuter activity in the community. He also suggested that the City consider
developing a form to be used Citywide in reporting animal vaccinations. He said
that the veterinarians felt there is a great need for such a standardized form.
He suggested that in return for developing the forms, the City could ask veter-
inarians to agree to sell dog licenses. This would increase the number of
access points for licensing and would also allow consolidation of paperwork.
Councilor Hamel thanked Mr. Lindberg for his work in this area and offered to
help with the effort.

F. Approval of Minority Commission Appointment (memo distributed)
Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Ms. Schue, to appoint Amy Shen, 3974
Oak Street, to fill the unexpired term of Roberto Bardelas on the
Eugene Commission on the Rights of Minorities, term to expire
January 1, 1984. Roll call vote; motion carried unanimously.
G. Introduction of Community Service Officer Rande Wilmarth
Mr. Gleason introduced Rande Wilmarth, who is beginning a six-month term as the
City's Public Service Officer (PSO).
II. ROUTINE ITEMS FOR COUNCIL APPROVAL
A. Approval of City Council Minutes of March 10, 1982, and April 26 and
April 28, 1982 (minutes distributed)
Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Ms. Schue, to approve the City Council
minutes of March 10, 1982, and April 26 and April 28, 1982. Roll
call vote; motion carried unanimously.
B. Payment of Bills and Claims (distributed)
Res. No. 3658--A resolution authorizing the payment of bills and
claims for the period April 28, 1982, through
4It May 12, 1982.
Councilor Haws asked for further clarification of the payments of $7,860 to
O'Connell Enterprises, Inc., and of $3,646.72 to Valentine's Travel. Ernie
Drapela, Director, Parks and Recreation, said that the two amounts represented
payments for senior citizen trips organized by the Parks and Recreation depart-
ment. He said that the trips had already taken place and that the City had been
fully reimbursed. Mr. Hamel said that he had also been concerned about these
payments. Mr. Haws said that a local travel agent had recently declared bank-
ruptcy and that, because the bonding of the agent was not sufficient to pay all
debts owed, the agent's customers would not be reimbursed for amounts already
paid. Mr. Haws urged that the City consider the possibility of such an occur-
rence when it selects and makes payments to travel agents.
Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Ms. Schue, to adopt the resolution.
Roll call vote; motion carried unanimously.

Street between 3rd Avenue and 4th Avenue, 320 High Street (R 82-6)
Mr. Gleason introduced Judith Rees, Historic Preservation Specialist, Department
of Housing and Community Conservation (HCC). Ms. Rees introduced Historic
Review Board Member Glenn Mason. Mr. Mason said that one of the responsibilities
of the Historic Review Board is to improve public awareness of and appreciation
for the City's history. He said that 850 to 900 people had attended the May 9
walkin9 tour of homes as a part of the City's observance of National Historic
Preservation Week. He thanked the Junior League of Eugene, the Lane County
Historical Society, and the staff members of the Department of Housing and
Community Conservation for their work on the event. Mr. Mason reviewed efforts
made in the late 1800's and early 1900's to promote the City of Eugene and to
attract new industry. He said that there were a number of parallels with
similar efforts being conducted today. He felt that emphasizing the historical
aspects of Eugenels success would help in today.s economic development efforts.
He offered the help of the Historic Review Board in this work.
e
Ms. Rees thanked participants in the University of Oregon.s historic preservation
program for their work on the National Historic Preservation Week walking tour.
Ms. Rees then discussed the recommendation of the Historic Review Board for
allocation of 1982 restoration loan funds. She said that nine restoration loan
applications had been received and that the Historic Review Board recommended
that eight of these be funded. She said that six of the loans were recommended
for funding through the Community Development Block Grant program and that the
remaining two loans needed to be considered by the council. Ms. Rees said that
the board recommended council approval of a loan of $10,000 at 9 percent interest
for a ten-year period for restoration of the exterior of the Tiffany Building.
She said approval was also recommended of a loan of $9700 at 0 percent interest
for a ten-year period for repainting, reroofing, porch reconstruction, and
substructure work at a residence at 320 High Street.
Ms. Schue asked the funding sources for these loans. Ms. Rees responded that
the funds had been approved by the council in July 1981.
Mr. Hamel asked how the decision had been made to recommend a loan at 0 percent
interest for the house at 320 High Street. Ms. Rees responded that the amount
of interest, from 0 percent to 9 percent, that was charged for rehabilitation
loans was dependent on the amount of disposable income of the applicant. She
said that the financial situation of the owner of the house at 320 High Street
had been investi9ated and that the recommendation for a 0 percent loan was based
on that investigation.
Public hearing was opened.

Kenneth Nagao, 1680 Pearl Street, represented the owner of the Tiffany Building.
He said he was the architect for the work to be done in restoring the building.
He said the owner's intent was to upgrade the exterior of the building and then
to apply for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Structures. Mr. Nagao
said that from 1913 to 1929, the building had housed the McMorran-Washburne
store, at that time Eugene's major department store. He pointed out that the
renovated Tiffany Building would provide an excellent link between the Performing
Arts Center area and the downtown mall.
There being no further testimony, public hearing was closed.
Res. No. 3659--A resolution authorizing a secured loan for
restoration of the Tiffany Building.
Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Ms. Schue, to adopt the resolution.

III. B. Revisions to the Eugene Bikeways Master Plan (memo, map, background
material distributed)
Approved by the Plannin9 Commission, March 15, 1982 Vote: 5:0
Mr. Gleason said that the revisions proposed for the Bikeways Master Plan were
primarily minor amendments to the plan. He introduced Jim Hanks, City Traffic
Engineer, and said Mr. Hanks would respond to any questions from councilors.
Councilor Wooten asked whether all the proposed additions to the plan were
budgeted for completion in the coming fiscal year. Mr. Hanks responded that
some of the projects were funded but many were not. He said that the Owosso
Bridge path was funded. He added that several of the proposed improvements
involved only signing of routes, which could be accomplished at a relatively low
cost. Responding to another question from Councilor Wooten, Mr. Hanks said
that the implementation rate for the Bikeways Plan was more rapid than that for
other plans and that work on implementation of the plan was already one-half to
two-thirds completed.
Ms. Wooten asked whether any of the work being proposed under the revisions
before the council would be financed with Lane County road funds. Mr. Hanks
responded that Lane County had participated in the costs of the Willie Knicker-
bocker Bridge and would be participating in the costs of the Owosso Bridge.
He said that the County had been very cooperative in construction of bikeways.
Many bikeways had been added as streets were widened using County matching
funds.
Councilor Wooten noted that the Walnut Street project was the only revision
located in the inner city area and asked if this meant that the inner city
routes are primarily completed. Mr. Hanks responded that this was generally the
case, with the major exception that a north-south route through the Westside

e
Neighborhood Quality Project was yet to be identified. Ms. Wooten said she had
heard citizens complain of the lack of a convenient bike connection from the
portion of Eugene north of the Willamette River to the downtown area. Mr. Hanks
acknowledged that the presence of Skinner Butte and the downtown mall make it a
problem to design such a route. Ms. Wooten said that the members of the Downtown
Development Board were concerned with this problem and urged the Bicycle Committee
and staff to explore solutions.
Ms. Wooten asked about the status of bikeways in the Oakway Road area.
Mr. Hanks responded that the council had previously voted not to implement the
portion of the path that had been protested by a property owner, but to retain
that portion in the Master Plan in case an opportunity should arise to complete
the work. He added that the possibility of a bikeway was being discussed with
the Oakway Golf Course as a part of a planned unit development revision being
considered for the golf course.
Councilor Obie was concerned with the condition of the bike path along the
Amazon Channel in West Eugene. He felt that the condition of the path had
deteriorated to the point where it was dangerous to users. Mr. Hanks said that
repairs to that path had been included in the FY 82-83 capital improvements
budget at the start of the budget process. Mr. Gleason said that staff would
report back on the budget status of those improvements. Mr. Obie asked whether
that path would be extended to connect with a County path to Fern Ridge Reservoir
in the near future. Mr. Hanks said the City portion of that connection had been
budgeted as a priority item for use of Federal Aid Urban funds for FY 83-84, if
funds are available. He said that staff attached a high priority to this
project, since it had been offered as an alternative to a path along West 11th
Avenue. Mr. Hanks said he would report back with more detailed responses to
Mr. Obie's questions.
Public hearing was opened. There being no public testimony, public hearing was
closed.

IV. ORDINANCE CONCERNING REGULATION OF ADVERTISING AND HANDBILL DISTRIBUTION
(memo, ordinance distributed)
Mr. Gleason introduced Les Swanson, City Attorney, and Ernie Drapela, Director,
Department of Parks and Recreation. Mr. Swanson said that recent concern
expressed by citizens regarding regulation of advertising and handbill distribution
had prompted the City Attorney's Office to review City Code provisions on this
matter. He noted that protection of commercial free speech had been the subject
of a number of recent court cases. He said that the Attorney's Office was
recommending several changes to existing ordinances. Mr. Swanson recommended
MINUTES--Eugene City Council
May 12, 1982

.
repeal of Section 4.055, thereby making it le9al to distribute commercial
handbills in public places. He also recommended repeal of Subsection 3 of
Section 4.060 regarding distribution of commercial or non-commercial handbills
on private premises which are temporarily or continuously vacant. Mr. Swanson
said that the intent of this subsection was to prevent hand-delivered materials
from accumulating on the porches and doorsteps of homes or businesses whose
owners were away. He said, however, that similar measures in other codes had
been stricken as being too vague. He noted, for instance, that it is difficult,
if not impossible, for a person distributing a handbill to determine whether an
occupant is away for a few minutes or for a longer time. Mr. Swanson also
recommended repeal of Section 4.070, which makes it illegal to distribute
anonymous material. He said that the right to anonymous free speech is pro-
tected under the First Amendment.
Councilor Schue asked if the definition of handbill in Section 4.045 included
political material. Mr. Swanson responded affirmatively. Ms. Schue asked if
the owner of private property has the legal right to prohibit the distribution
of material to residences or businesses on that property. She referred
specifically to attempts by apartment building managers or owners to prevent
distribution of political materials to residents of apartments. Mr. Swanson
said he believed that property owners would have the legal right to make such a
prohibition, both as the ordinance is drafted and as it is proposed for amendment.
Ms. Smith said that many of her constituents had expressed concern about having
handbills left at their homes when they are away. She asked whether there is a
legal basis under City Code for enforcement of a sign posted by a resident
requesting that handbills not be left on the premises. Mr. Swanson responded
City ordinances would support enforcement of such a request as regards commercial
materials, but that political materials would be viewed differently, since there
is a difference under the law between commercial and political free speEch. He
felt, however, that as a practical matter posting of such a sign would be a
deterrent to distribution of all handbills.
Ms. Wooten expressed concern regarding the issue raised by Ms. Schue. Ms. Wooten
felt that allowing an apartment owner or manager to prevent delivery of hand-
bills to apartment residents violates the rights of those residents to receive
material and to be informed. Mr. Swanson said he was uncertain whether the
manager or owner of an apartment building had the legal right to prohibit
delivery of handbills without first obtaining the consent of residents of the
building to such exclusion. He said that he would research this matter and
report back to the council. He felt, however, that from a practical standpoint
the manager of an apartment building would not prohibit distribution of handbills
if the building's residents protested such a prohibition. Ms. Schue said she
would vote in favor of the amendments before the council, with the understanding
that Mr. Swanson would return with a response to her concern regarding dissemina-
tion of political materials.

Councilor Wooten asked how the amendments before the council would affect the
current requirement of obtaining a permit in order to distribute handbills on
the downtown mall. Mr. Swanson said that this issue was still under consideration
and that the amendments before the council would not affect the current permit
requirement. He said that staff would return in the future with recommendations
on the permit process. Ms. Wooten referred to the US Supreme Court decision in
the case of Talley v. California. She asked whether this decision had any
effect on the rights of the public to speak or distribute materials on private
property. Mr. Swanson responded that the case did not affect such rights on
private property. Ms. Wooten asked whether non-profit organizations or religious
groups could distribute materials on public property. Mr. Swanson said he
believed that this issue had been resolved and that he would research the matter
and report back to the council.
Ms. Wooten asked whether distribution of sample merchandise, such as cigarette
samples, would fall into the same category as distribution of commercial handbills
under City Code. She felt that such distribution could in certain instances be
viewed as a threat to public health, safety, and welfare. Mr. Swanson said that
under existing codes, an individual would need a permit to distribute free
samples on the downtown mall but not in other public areas within the City.
Ms. wooten said that this issue was of concern to her and that she would like
information on the City's ability to regulate distribution of free samples.
Mr. Lindberg referred to Section 4.070, prohibiting distribution of anonymous
material, which Mr. Swanson had recommended be repealed as unconstitutional.
Mr. Lindberg felt it was important that a person receiving a handbill know the
author, in order to place the information in its proper context. Mr. Swanson
said that anonymity was probably not a problem with commercial free speech,
since commercial advertisers are traditionally interested in making the identity
of the author abundantly clear. He said that the right to anonymity was impor-
tant in political free speech, to prevent a person who wished to speak cut on a
sensitive issue from retaliation by those with an opposing point of view.
CB 2465--An ordinance concerning handbills; amending Sections
4.045, 4.050, and 4.060 of the Eugene Code, 1971;
repealing Sections 4.055 and 4.070 of that code; and
declaring an emergency.
Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Ms. Schue, 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; motion carried unanimously.
Ms. Wooten said that she would support the motion, but that she wanted to
receive more information on the points raised above. She also requested a
report back from staff in a few months on how the ordinance was working.
Council Bill 2465 was read the second time by council bill number only.
Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Ms. Schue, that the bill be approved
and given final passage. Roll call vote. All councilors present
voting aye, the bill was declared passed and numbered 18963.

V. EUGENE ECONOMIC DIVERSIFICATION PROGRAM--QUARTERLY REPORT (memo, additional
information distributed)
Mr. Gleason introduced Susan Smernoff, Planning. Ms. Smernoff gave a report on
activities that took place in February, March, and April 1982 as part of the
City's Economic Diversification Program. She said that on April 20, 1982,
the Joint Committee on Economic Diversification (JCED) announced the opening of
the Business Marketing, Recruiting, and Assistance Program. She said that
the program was being implemented by the Business Assistance Team, composed
of City staff members and volunteers from the Chamber of Commerce, Lane Community
College (LCC), and University of Oregon (U of 0). She said that under the
policy direction of the JCED, the team will carry out four actions: a) develop-
ment of a consistent and coordinated information program; b) assistance to local
firms; c) recruitment of non-local firms; and d) proposed methods to improve
Eugenels image as a place to do business.
Ms. Smernoff gave examples of activities that would occur in each of these broad
categories. She said that initial funding for the work of the team would
include $20,000 from the City and $5,000 from the Chamber of Commerce and that
in-kind services provided by the City included provision of four paid staff
people, office space, data processing services, and volunteer staff time.
Ms. Smernoff then reviewed and explained work that had been done in conjunction
with the Investment-Capital Assistance Program and the Small Business Training
and Technical Assistance Survey. She said that the reorganization of downtown
boards and commissions would be brought to the council for action on May 24,
1982. Ms. Smernoff said that phase one of the Development Assistance and
Information Center was under way and that implementation of four more phases was
expected through 1983. She said that efforts were being made to enhance the
ability of connecting existing computer programs through a new program, to be
called *CEUSE, which would allow retrieval of information regarding the zoning,
ownership, and permitted uses on land parcels within the City. She said that
staff was also working on major improvements to streamline the City's permit and
regulatory processes.
Ms. Smernoff also reviewed and provided information on the proposed use of
Community Development Block Grant funds for economic diversification, the update
of the City's Economic Diversification Program, the progress of the Willow Creek
Refinement Plan, and the April 10 opening of the Eugene Conference Center. She
noted that the Performing Arts Center would be opening on schedule in September.
Councilor Obie congratulated staff on the progress that had been made. He
offered the strong support of the council for efforts being made to streamline
City permit processes, particularly the building permit process. Mr. Gleason
said that much positive work was being done in this area. He noted that staff
would bear in mind the suggestion made a number of times by Ms. Schue that the
language used in application forms and explanatory material be clear and easy to
understand.

Responding to a question from Councilor Schue, Ms. Smernoff said that the work
of the Business Assistance Team was being coordinated with the work of the Lane
Economic Forum, to avoid duplication of effort, and that one member of the JCED
also sits as a board member on the Lane Economic Foundation. Ms. Schue, Ms.
Wooten, and Mr. Lindberg commended staff and others involved for their work on
the City's economic diversification effort. Mr. Lindberg said that Steve
Robinson, Jon Stafford, and Harris Hoffman, members of the Community Development
Committee deserved recognition for their contributions to this effort. Ms.
Wooten urged Ms. Smernoff and others working with the Economic Diversification
Program to publicize the program and make the public more aware of the efforts
the City is making in this area. Ms. Smernoff said that a number of such
educational and informational events were planned for the month of June.
Ms. Wooten asked how staff anticipated proceeding with efforts to contact small
businesses needing assistance. Ms. Smernoff responded that a networking system
was being developed. She also felt that the June publicity events would help
get the word out.
Mr. Lindberg referred to the Community Development Block Grant funds allocated
for economic diversification. He reported that he had joined staff members from
the Department of Housing and Community Conservation in talking with the area
director of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regarding
use of these funds. He said that HUD staff felt very strongly that the focus of
the CnBG economic diversification program needed to be on creating jobs for, or
otherwise benefiting, low-income people.
e
Mr. Gleason commended Councilor Hamel for his work in publicizing the City's
efforts in numerous visits to local businesses. He said Mr. Hamel's outreach
efforts had been very successful.
Councilor Wooten left the meeting.
Mayor Keller expressed the unanimous support of the council for the economic
diversification efforts being made by the City.
VI. EXECUTIVE SESSION
Mayor Keller called the council into executive session under ORS 192.660(1)(e)
to consult with staff regarding property acquisitions.
Mayor Keller asked all those in the audience, with the exception of representa-
tives of news media, to leave the chamber. He explained that no action would be
taken during the executive session. Upon conclusion of the executive session,
the M~yor reopened the public meeting and said that the council was prepared to
vote on the item.
