FIVE-YEAR FORECAST AND STATE REVENUE-SHARING ORDINANCE (memo, projection, ordinance distributed) City Manager Michea1 Gleason introduced the agenda item. Finance Director Warren Wong presented the staff report, briefly reviewing his January 3, 1985, memo to the City Council which explained the need and the process for the development of the five-year financial forecast. Stating that some ques- tions had been raised regarding the integrity of the forecast, he said staff was discussing with the League of Oregon Cities, the Oregon Municipal Finance Officers Association, and the Executive Department the options of either deleting the forecast or making it a more viable instrument. Councilor Wooten said she was pleased with the measures taken by staff in revising the forecast format. In response to a question by Ms. Wooten, Mr. Wong said staff has not performed any analysis of the accuracy of the financial forecast. He explained that the City was prohibited by law from budgeting a deficit, adding that any deficit must be balanced in the budget. Councilor Holmer commented that he noticed the need for an increased cash flow of $3,000,000 as reported in the Register-Guard that morning had already been included in the forecast. In response to a question by Councilor Schue, Mr. Wong explained that the "Other Local Revenue" included user fees, charges, and miscellaneous revenue generated by the City. He said the majority of the revenue was beginning working capital and reserves for future year expenditures. CB 2800--An ordinance electing to receive State Revenue Sharing funds pursuant to Oregon Revised Statute (221.770) and declaring an emergency. Ms. Wooten moved, seconded by Mr. Hansen, that the Five-Year Forecast be approved and 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, 8:0. Council Bill 2800 was read the second time by council bill number only. Ms. Wooten moved, seconded by Mr. Hansen, 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. 19302). Mr. Gleason reported that the City performs a formal five-year financial forecast as part of its financial planning process. He said this forecast was more detailed and accurate in terms of the City financial operation independent of the State requirement. MINUTES--Eugene City Council January 9, 1985 Page 3 v. SELECTION PROCESS FOR EUGENE-SPRINGFIELD METROPOLITAN PARTNERSHIP APPOINTEES (memo distributed) ~ City Manager Micheal Gleason introduced the agenda item. Doug Eveleth of the Business Assistance Team presented the staff report, reviewing his December 27, 1984, memorandum to the City Council which reported the deadline for applications for appointment to the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Part- nership Board of Directors and the need for the council to establish the applicant selection process. Mayor Obie reviewed the possible selection pro- cess options. Mr. Gleason said a council subcommittee had reviewed the appointment processes as a follow-up from the previous Goals Session and had recommended that a subcommittee interview appointment process not be used because of the possibility for extended debate by the council. He suggested that the appointment process either be a mayoral nomination to the councilor an interview process by the entire council. Councilor Wooten said she was not sure of Mr. Gleason's reasoning, stating that a subcommittee could just as easily report to the council as could the mayor. Mr. Gleason said the council had recommended that the selection pro- cess be clarified. Cathy Freedman of the City Manager's Office explained that staff had recommended, based on the council's discussion at its Goals Session, that the selection process be either mayoral nomination or council interview, not a council subcommittee interview process. Mr. Gleason stated that the council had twice before been unsatisfied with the nominations by a subcomittee. e Councilor Schue said she had no memory of a council subcommittee recommen- dation on the selection processes; she felt it was premature to act on such a recommendation. She said the council had not adopted any selection policy. Mayor Obie said he was most comfortable with the Council President and Vice President recommending the appointments because it saved time and gave the council representation in the selection process. He said he would accept whatever process the council chose. Councilor Hansen suggested that the entire council should participate in the initial selection of appointees to the Board of Directors due to the importance of the partnership. He said that future appointees could be made by a subcommittee. Councilor Bascom concurred with the statements of Councilors Hansen and Schue. She said she found the interviews educational for the new councilors. Councilor Holmer commented that the Mayor and President of the council were automatically on the Executive Board; therefore, he suggested that the entire council should be involved in the selection process. Councilor Wooten said that she and Mayor Obie had completed their recommendations regarding appointment processes and they would be distributing their recommendations to the council in the near future. Ms. Wooten moved, seconded by Mr. Hansen, that the City Council interview and appoint the members to the Board of Directors for the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Partnership. Roll call vote; the motion carried unanimously, 8:0. Mr. Eveleth said staff will set a date for review of the applications by the council. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council January 9, 1985 Page 4 e In response to a question by Councilor Holmer, Mayor Obie said that he and Councilor Wooten will present a recommendation to the council on the appointment processes for the other City boards and commissions. Councilor Hansen stated that future appointments to the partnership can follow the selection policy developed by Mayor Obie and Councilor Wooten. Mayor Obie added that he, and Councilors Wooten and Hansen, can bring back a recommendation to the council on the future appointment process for the partnership openings. In response to a question by Councilor Ehrman regarding the vacancy on the Downtown Commission, Mr. Gleason said staff was attempting to schedule those interviews at the same time the interviews for the partnership finalists occur. VI. EX OFFICIO MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING AND DOWNTOWN COMMISSIONS (memo, ordinance, background information distributed) City Manager Micheal Gleason introduced the agenda item, explaining that two existing ordinances contained conflicting language regarding ex officio members. He reviewed his January 9, 1985, memorandum to the City Council which outlined the need for close communication between the City Manager's Office and the Planning and Downtown commissions. He said the City Attorney.s Office had suggested that the ordinances be revised for con- sistency. e CB 280l--An ordinance regarding ex officio members of the Planning Commission and the Downtown Commission; amending Sections 2.155 and 2.330 of the Eugene Code, 1971; and declaring an emergency. Ms. Wooten moved, seconded by Mr. Hansen, 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. In response to a question by Councilor Wooten regarding the status of hiring a Director for the Development Department, Mr. Gleason said he was currently reviewing the list of applicants but that it would be some time before a selection was made. In response to a comment by Councilor Ehrman, Mr. Gleason explained that an ex officio member could enter into commission discussions but could not vote. He said the formal appointment process asserted the responsibility for the ex officio member to be well versed in the agenda items. He said the City Manager traditionally attended the council and the two commission meet- ings, but he said he had changed that process. He felt a formal process as outlined in this ordinance was necessary. Councilor Rutan commented that communication between the Planning Commission and the City Manager can occur through the Planning Director but that it will be appropriate for the Development Department Director to attend the Planning Commission meetings. Roll call vote; the motion carried unanimously, 8:0. - MINUTES--Eugene City Council January 9, 1985 Page 5 Council Bill 2801 was read the second time by council bill number only. - Ms. Wooten moved, seconded by Mr. Hansen, 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. 19303). RESOLUTION REGARDING ANNEXATION REQUEST IN GLENWOOD (A/Z 84-2) (Dale Fischer) (memo, map, background information distributed) City Manager Micheal Gleason introduced the agenda item. Terry Jones of the Planning Department presented the staff report, briefly reviewing the December 17, 1984, Planning Department memorandum to the City Council which described the two parcels involved in the annexation request and the council action requested. She also briefly reviewed the history of the request and the action taken by the Planning Commission. Ms. Jones explained that the annexation request fell under the new Planning Department procedures and that the council could either adopt the resolutions which recommended the annex- ation on to the Boundary Commission or could hold a pUblic hearing if sup- ported by at least five of the councilors. She said that a tentative date for the public hearing had been set for January 28, 1985. Ms. Jones noted that Dorothy Anderson of the Planning Commission was present to answer any questions and that Councilor Rutan had also been present at the public hearing. VII. e In response to a question by Councilor Hansen, Ms. Jones stated that the Planning Commission had held a pUblic hearing on the annexation request. She said that no public testimony was received at that hearing. Councilor Schue noted that the revised process allowed for one public hearing and one appeal. Res. No. 3893--A resolution supporting a recommendation to the Boundary Commission for annexation of property located on the east side of Henderson Avenue between 21st and 22nd avenues. Res. No. 3894--A resolution supporting a recommendation to the Boundary Commission for annexation of property located on the east side of Henderson Avenue between 19th Avenue and the railroad tracks. Ms. Wooten moved, seconded by Mr. Hansen, to adopt the resolutions. Councilor Bascom stated that she had toured the area in question as it was part of her ward. She said she supported the staff recommendation, stating that she felt it was inevitable that industry will take over the area. Referring to the letter submitted by Virginia Boucher and Fary Entsminger, Councilor Ehrman commented that the area was already a mixture of designa- tions and that she could not support their request that Tax Lot 2000 be excluded from the annexation request. - Roll call vote; the motion carried unanimously, 8:0. MINUTES--Eugene City Council January 9, 1985 Page 6 e e e VIII. ORDINANCE REGARDING MUNICIPAL COURT AMENDMENT {memo, ordinance distributed City Manager Micheal Gleason introduced the agenda item. Municipal Court Operations Manager Peggy Ray presented the staff report, briefly reviewing the January 2, 1985, memorandum from the City Manager to the City Council which described the ordinance language addressing the proposed changes in the jury management system. Councilor Ehrman commented that local attorneys may question the proposed examination of jurors solely by the judge as performed in the Federal courts since it is less flexible than the present system in which the attorneys are entitled to two peremptory challenges. City Attorney Tim Sercombe responded that the proposed change would shorten the juror selection process by eliminating the opportunity for attorneys to present part of their case during the selection period. He aCknowleged Ms. Ehrman's comment that the proposed process would reduce the direct contact between the attorneys and the jurors and would eliminate the opportunity for follow-up questions. In response to a question by Councilor Hansen, Mr. Sercombe said the draw system and juror interview selection process could be separated into two separate issues for action by the council. Although he said he was not sure of trends throughout the state, he commented that the proposed process would allow the juror selection process to be automated. Mr. Gleason commented that the average duration of Municipal Court trials had been reduced from 160 to 90 days in response to a council direction the previous year. He recommended that a staff report be prepared to address the possibility of a different jury selection process. In response to a question by Councilor Wooten, Ms. Ehrman said her only con- cern was with the reduced opportunity for the cross-examination of the jurors by the attorneys. Mayor Obie said the traditional process was for the legal staff to draft any necessary changes for approval by the council. Mr. Sercombe commented that some expediency was needed because the City had to select juries for January and February. Ms. Ehrman said her amendment would be to retain the present jury selection process until a staff report could be presented. Mr. Gleason suggested that the council adopt the ordi- nance as recommended, stating that staff could later present a report and provide an opportunity for amendment. Ms. Ehrman said she would present the ordinance under those conditions. Ms. Ray suggested specifying that the judge would decide the jury selection process on a case-by-case basis. Ms. Ehrman disagreed with that language, stating that it would not be a consistent process. In response to a question by Councilor Miller, Ms. Ehrman said her major concern was that a jury selection process different from that used by Lane County would cause problems. She added that many of the local practicing attorneys had not been notified of the proposed change. In response to a question by Councilor Hansen, she said she was recommending that the first two sentences of Section 2.790 (3) be deleted. Mr. Gleason commented that time and cost consequences were involved in the ordinance. He recommended that the council adopt the ordinance and set an agenda time to discuss the jury selection process issue. He said this would allow staff to determine MINUTES--Eugene City Council January 9, 1985 Page 7 e e e and study any possible legal impacts and to address Ms. Ehrman's concerns. Councilor Wooten said she appreciated Mr. Gleason's recommendation but that the council wanted draft language to address Ms. Ehrman's recommendation. Ms. Ray commented that any additional time spent in cross-examination by the attorneys would negate any cost savings realized by the automated system. Councilor Holmer said he supported the deletion of the two sentences from subsection (3), stating that he was not persuaded by the staff argument. He said that staff could present its report the following week. Mr. Gleason said he was only suggesting that staff be allowed to study the issues before final action was taken by the council in order to address the consequences involved in the jury selection process. Councilor Schue commented that the council was in apparent agreement sup- porting the proposed automation process. She also stated that Ms. Ehrman had addressed an issue which required further study. In response to a question by Councilor Miller, Mr. Sercombe explained the present system of peremptory Challenges and Challenges for cause as allowed in the jury selection process. He said the proposed change will shorten the selection process by reducing the opportunity for attorneys to present case arguments. In response to a related question by Mr. Miller, Mr. Sercombe said that language could be added to the ordinance to allow attorneys to submit additional written questions to the judge during the selection process. Councilor Hansen said he would support adoption of the ordinance with the understanding that staff would present a report further addressing the jury selection issue. Councilor Wooten supported that position, adding that she also desired appropriate changes to the ordinance be drafted to accommodate Ms. Ehrman's suggestion. CB 2802--An ordinance concerning Municipal Court; amending Sections 2.785 and 2.790; repealing Sections 2.795; 2.800; 2.805; and 2.810 of the Eugene Code, 1971; and declaring an emergency. Ms. Wooten moved, seconded by Mr. Hansen, 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. In response to a suggestion by Councilor Holmer, Mr. Sercombe stated that the Bar Association did not want the proposed ordinance published in its news- letter until it was adopted by the council. Roll call vote; the motion carried unanimously, 8:0. Council Bill 2802 was read the second time by council bill number only. Ms. Wooten moved, seconded by Mr. Hansen, 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. 19304). MINUTES--Eugene City Council January 9, 1985 Page 8 e e e IX. FOLLOW-UP TO PASSAGE OF BALLOT MEASURE #51 (memo, initiative petition distributed) City Manager Micheal Gleason introduced the agenda item and presented the staff report. Reviewing the January 3, 1985, memorandum from the Public Information Director to the City Council, he stated that the only action before the council was whether it wished to read the title of the ballot mea- sure. He said the proponents of the ballot measure had been contacted and felt that the requirements of the measure had been met. He said the pro- ponents were requesting that the title be read publicly by the council. Councilor Schue said the ballot measure specified that some attempt be made to notify the media of the substance of the measure. She suggested that the ballot measure be read at the council 's next scheduled Monday night meeting. Councilor Bascom concurred, stating that it was an appropriate response to the request. Councilor Hansen commented that sufficient media coverage had been given to the issue. He stated that he opposed performing any action beyond what was specifically required by the ballot measure. Councilor Holmer said that he supported the staff recommendation for disseminating information regarding the ballot measure as listed in the January 3 memorandum. Councilor Miller said he did not foresee any difficulty with public reading of the ballot measure. He said he favored complying with the intent, as well as the letter, of the ballot measure. Ms. Schue moved, seconded by Ms. Ehrman, that the content of Ballot Measure #51 be read at the next meeting of the Eugene City Council in order to carry out the directive of that measure. Roll call vote; the motion carried 6:2; Councilors Wooten, Bascom, Ehrman, Miller, Rutan, and Schue voting aye; and Councilors Hansen and Holmer voting nay. Ms. Wooten moved, seconded by Ms. Ehrman, that the City Manager be directed to transmit on behalf of the City Council a copy of Ballot Measure #51 to the public officials named in Section 2 of the measure. Roll call vote; the motion carried, 7:0, Mr. Hansen abstaining. Councilor Wooten asked that the issue of abstentions and when they are justi- fied be clarified for the council. Mayor Obie felt that it would be appro- priate for council protocol to be clarified for the new council members. In response to the suggestion by Councilor Schue regarding the reading of the ballot measure, Mr. Gleason stated that the January 14 council meeting was a work session. He said the reading will be scheduled for the next regular Monday meeting. Councilor Holmer asked how a councilor should ask to address the council following the reading of the ballot measure. Councilor Hansen commented that he did not believe that any council action was required on the ballot measure because it had been passed by a vote of the people. City Attorney Tim Sercombe explained that council action was necessary because it must direct the City Manager to fulfill the requirements of Section 2 of the measure. MINUTES--Eugene City Council January 9, 1985 Page 9 e e - Councilor Schue said the intent of her motion was to carry out the wishes of the ballot measure proponents; it was not her intent to make a personal statement or to debate the issue. Mayor Obie agreed, but he said he did not agree with the reading of the issue. He said he may ask the City Recorder to read the measure for the council. Mr. Holmer said he felt that dissemination of the measure to the media met the measure requirements. He said the coun- cil motion went beyond what the measure required. He said he had previously asked staff to draft language for a voters pamphlet which would demonstrate both sides of controversial issues. He said that a public reading of the ballot measure was inappropriate. x. OTHER ITEMS FROM THE COUNCIL A. Remodeling of Mayor's and City Manager's Offices Referring to a layout of the Mayor's and City Manager's Office areas, Mayor Obie reported that the office area was being remodeled to provide a new coun- cil conference and reception area. B. Mayor's Office Hours In response to a question by Councilor Hansen, Mayor Obie stated that he will be setting regular office hours after he is settled into his new position. He suggested that the office hours will follow the Wednesday council meetings. The meeting was adjourned at 1:06 p.m. to January 16,1985.

Passed by the City Council this 9th day of January, 1985 Approved by the Mayor this 9th day of January, 1985 City Recorder Mayor FNGMSRSO e M E M 0 RAN DUM January 9, 1985 TO: FROM: SUBJ: Mayor and City Council Mike Gleason, City Manager EX OFFICIO MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING AND DOWNTOWN COMMISSIONS The Planning Commission and the Downtown Commission each have two ex officio members. Ex officio members may not vote, but are expected to participate in discussion at Commission meetings, especially in their areas of particular competence. The Director of the Eugene Development Department and the City Manager (or hi s desi gnee) currently serve as ex off; ci 0 members of the Downtown Commission, while the Public Works Director and the City Manager serve as ex officio members of the Planning Commission. Over the last several months, the Development and Planning Departments have been discussing ways of fostering a closer working relationship between the two departments and between the commi ssi ons that they serve. One of the options that has been identified involves altering the ex officio membership on the Planning and Downtown Commissions so that the EDD Director serves as an ex officio member of the Planning Commission and the Planning Director serves in that same capacity on the Downtown Commission. e I believe that this suggestion will enhance communication between the. two commissions. Under such an arrangement, the Development Director would be able to keep the Planning Commission better informed about specific projects undertaken by that department and could articulate the perspective of the development department in the planning process. Likewise, the Planning Director's participation on the Downtown Commission would provide those commissioners with access to information about planning activities in other parts of the city and the overall Metro planning context. To implement this proposal, the EDD Director could replace the City Manager as an ex officio member of the Planning Commission and the Planning Director could replace the Development Director as ex officio member of the Downtown Commission. This possible change in membership has been discussed by both the Planning and Downtown Commissions and has their concurrence. The Planning Commission did note that if the change takes place, it is important that the Planning Director continue to ensure adequate communication between the commission and the City Manager's Office. e \ - Action Requested You are asked to approve changes to Eugene Code sections 2.155 and 2.330 which state requirements for membership on the two commissions. The proposed changes are: 2.155 Downtown Commission - Membership; Term; Vacancies. (1) The commission shall consist of nine voting members to be [interviewed and] appointed by the council, and two ex officio nonvoting members [,] to be appointed by the city manager [or his/her designee and the executive director, to be appointed by the city manager]. e 2.330 Planning Commission - Membership; Term; Vacancies; Etc. (1) The commission shall consist of seven voting [nine] members to be appointed by the council [.] and two ex officio nonvotin members to be appointed by the city manager. Not more than two members of the commission may be city officers, who shall serve as ex officio nonvoting members]. (2) The voting [M] members of the commission shall hold office for four years texcept city officers appointed as ex officio members shall hold office at the pleasure of the council]. These code changes would make the language concerning ex officio members consistent for the two commissions and would allow the City Manager to make the ex officio appointments as proposed above. e e Page-Z e - e MEMORANDUM December 17, 1984 TO: FROM: S U BJ : City Council Planning Department Fischer Annexation in Glenwood (A/Z 84-2) On December 4, 1984, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the Fischer annexation in Glenwood. After the public hearing was closed, the commission voted 5:0 to approve the proposed zoning and recommend approval of the annexation to the City Council. The annexation request involves two non-contiguous parcels in southwest Glenwood. Area I is comprised of two tax lots located on the east side of Henderson Avenue between 21 st and 22nd Avenues. Both tax lots contain a total of 16,000 square feet and are zoned County RA Suburban Residential. The property is developed with a house on it. Area II is located on the east side of Henderson Avenue between 19th Avenue and the railroad tracks. The area contains nearly three acres and is developed with a truck repair business. The applicant has requested 1-2 Light-Medium Industrial zoning and I ndustria! sign district for both areas. The recently adopted Glenwood Jurisdictional Study concluded that Eugene would be the logical city to provide urban services and annex~tion in Glenwood. The Glenwood Community Organization does not object to the annexation. There was no opposition testimony at the public hearing. However, after the public hearing was closed and the commission took action, a written statement suggesting that tax lot 2000 be excluded from the annexation request was received from Virginia Boucher and Gary Entsminger. A copy of this statement is attached to the background material. ACTION REQUESTED: The council may either pass a resolution recommending annexation to the Boundary Commission or, by majority vote, request a public hearing. If the council chooses to hold a public hearing on this item, it has been tentatively scheduled for January 28, 1985. Since the request involves two non-contiguous parcels, two Resolutions (one for each parcel) have been prepared for your action. pltajfis ~; Fischer (A/Z 84-2) Tax Lots 600, 1900, and 2000--Assessor's Map 18-03-03-1 2 Located on the southeast corner of 19th Avenue and Henderson, and on the east side of Henderson between 21st Avenue and 22nd Avenue e Requests annexation to the City of Eugene and concurrent application of City zoning from County RA Suburban Residential and M-2 Light Industrial districts to City 1-2 Light-Medium Industrial District and designation of Industrial Sign District.

Gleason, City Manager RE: Municipal Court Ordinance With the assistance of the City Attorney, we are proposing amendments to Sections 2.785 and 2.790 which address Court procedures and the selection of jurors. We are also proposing to repeal Sections 2.795; 2.800; 2.805 and 2.810 which have been identified as redundant in lieu of the above amendments. Municipal Court has developed an automated jury management system which changes from a yearly "draw" system to a monthly "pool" system. Savings in personnel costs and the added con- venience to the public in serving one month versus 12 months of jury service are the incentives behind implementing this new procedure. e Specifically, the amendment .to Section-2.785 adds language to conform to the language in the City Charter, Chap~er 5, Section 17(3). The additional language provides the City with the opportunity to develop procedures which differ from those governing justices' courts. The amendment to Section 2.790 consolidates existing City Ordinances, 2.795-2.810, which we are proposing to repeal. The amendment also provides the Court with the authority to determine the number of prospective jurors, the examination of the jurors by the judge, and that each party shall be en- titled to two peremptory challenges. These changes are neces- sary for the implementation of the automated jury management system. This Ordinance requires your prompt attention because the matters contained herein concern the public welfare. In sum, we are recommending this Ordinance change in order to implement an automated jury management system which will pro- vide a better service to the citizens of Eugene. A copy of the Ordinance is under seperate cover. e MDG/pr . .- ORDINANCE NO. e AN ORDINANCE CONCERNING MUNICIPAL COURT~ AMENDING SECTIONS 2.785 AND 2.790~ REPEALING SECTIONS 2.195~ 2.800~ 2.805 AND 2.810 OF THE EUGENE CODE, 1971~ AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.
