Comm
Mr. Keller moved seconded by Mr. Haws to call a public hearing 10/6/76
on the two applications for October 11. Motion carried Pub Hrng
unanimously.
1. Sundance Natural Food Store, 748 East 24th Avenue (PS)

interviewed, there were nine not objecting to the proposed establishment, one was
noncommittal. Staff had no objections.
. Public hearing was held with no testimony presented.
Mr. Keller moved second by Mr. Haws to recommend approval.
Motion carried unanimously.
2. Oakway Wine & Deli, 305 Oakway Mall (PS)
Manager reviewed the OLCC report which indicated of those interviewed in the
area, no one objected to the establishment. Staff had no objections.
Public hearing was opened.
Doug McKay, operator of the Oakway Mall, was in favor of the application and said
the outlet would occupy a new building in the Mall for which a building permit
had been applied.
Public hearing was closed, there being no further testimony presented.
Mr. Keller moved second by Mr. Haws to recommend approval.
Motion carried unanimously.
B. Planning Commission Recommendations - August 3, 1976
1. Code Amendment re: Fences and walls located in front yards in residential
districts
Manager explained the proposed amendment was the result of many requests coming
to the Zoning Board for variances. It would tend to reduce the number of appeals
and make the code more in line with desires of the community. He cautioned that
the provisions should be carefully considered since they would affect front yards
e throughout the city as a whole.
I-A-2 Gary Chenkin, assistant planning director, said that fences and walls now are
allowed in front yard setback areas to a maximum height of two and a half feet.
A maximum of six-foot height is allowed if a fence is located in other than a
front yard. He s~id that because of these regulations the Zoning Code Board of
Lf1C, 10/11/76 - I
Appeals had received numerous requests over the years for either waivers or
vari~nces, mostly where corner lots were concerned, because of the difficulty e
to o~tain privacy where a rear yard is open to two streets. Mr. Chenkin ex-
plained that the proposed amendment would provide for an administrative process -
rather than the more formal process now in effect, that is, the building in-
spection superintendent would grant a request instead of going through the ap-
peal,process to the Board of Appeals and the Council. He explained details of
the amendment as shown in the Planning Commission official report of August 3,
19761 (copies previously distributed to Council members) and said that staff
thought adoption of the amendment would probably result in construction of
better quality fences in general because a building permit would be required.
The proposed process would also relieve the Zoning Board of a good deal of
"traffic," would expedite applications, and would allow more flexibility where
private outdoor living space was desired.
Public hearing was held with no testimony presented.
In response to Councilman Haws, Mr. Chenkin said that 66% of the applications
for variances from regulations governing fences or walls in front yards involved
corner lots; the rest were on interior lots where people were wanting to build
to more than the regulation height.
Counl'ilman Murray raised a question about the wording' with regard to the height
of fonces allowed "... up to six feet...." He thought the wording should be more
precise, that perhaps it would be better to say fI...at least six feet...." He
also "asked the reason for the six-foot setback along at least half an affected
lot frontage. Mr. Chenkin said the precise language was reviewed by the city
atto~ney and was similar to the present code language. He said it would be e
checked to determine whether there would be problems with the proposed wording. ~
Gene Haxton, zoning administrator, said the six-foot setback requirement would
apply only in the waiver process and was retained so as not to deprive appli-
cants of space they may wish to develop. In further explanation, he said a
IS-foot setback is now required for any fence over 30 inches high. He agreed
with Mr. Murray's assessment that it was primarily an aesthetic consideration,
landscaping was more important for the owner wanting a fence of wall over the
regulation height.
Councilman Haws expressed disappointment at lack of public input. He asked whe-
ther !the neighborhood organizations had been contacted in this regard and whether
there was any response. Mr. Chenkin'said the neighborhoods had been contacted
and although two or three made suggestions which were incorporated into the
proPQsed amendment, there were none opposed to the concept.
Manager said he thought the acceptability of this amendment would depend upon
the way it was administered. He recognized the "bombshell" effect if six-foot
fences were allowed in front yards on block after block of streets in areas
where there were large expanes of front lawns. Discretion and judgment in ad-
ministration of the proposed code change would be necessary.
Council Bill No. 1254 - Amending City Code re: Fences and walls in
front ayrds in residential districts was read
qy council bill. number and title only, there being no Council member
present requesting that it be read in full. e
Mr. Keller moved second by Mr. Haws 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. Motion carried unanimously and the
bill;was read the second time by council bi 11 number only.
10/11/76 - 2 Lf11
Mr. Keller moved second by Mr. Haws that the bill be approved and given final
passage. Rollcall vote. All Council members present voting aye, except
e Councilman Haws voting no, the bill was declared passed and numbered 17769.
2. Proposed change in traffic flow
a. On Alder to one-way southbound from 11th to 18th
b. On 11th to two-way from Kincaid to Hilyard
Manager explained that the changes, particularly those on Alder and 11th, were
proposed to improve traffic flow and make distinct improvement in bike paths
to more safely move pedestrian, vehicular, and bike traffic.
Al Williams, traffic engineer, said the plan presented for Alder/11th was a
compromise coming from a number of meetings with Sacred Heart and others in the
business community in that area as well as the West University Neighborhood group.
Staff felt the proposal would work effectively for all; it would extend the
present southbound one-way system on Alder, between Broadway and 11th, all the
way to 18th, with parking between 11th and 13th in order to allow bike lanes on
both sides for that distance. Traffic Engineer explained details of the change,'
including the change to two-way on 11th between Kincaid and Hilyard to facili-
tate general traffic movement in that vicinity.
I-A-3 Public hearing was opened.
Speaking in favor of the plan were Thorn Chambliss, 1510 Mill Street, chairer
of WUN; Ruth Bascom, 2114 University Street. Mayor's bicycle committee chairer;
a Mr. Starkweather, 2173 Alder Street; Clark Cos, Jr., 1085 Patterson Street #9.
The thrust of their testimony was that the proposed change would improve traffic
. movement by relieving congested conditions and at the same time provide safer
bike accommodations.
Iva Parker, 2990 Pearl Street, commented on problems encountered now with lack
of traffic movement in the alley near Sacred Heart Hospital where delivery trucks
block the way for extended periods of time. He said the proposed change to
one-way traffic on Alder would only worsen that situation as well as heighten
the existing dangerous movement through the intersection at 11th and Alder.
Mary Clerin, 2992 Pearl Street, was also concerned about the safety aspect,
particularly in terms of bicycle vs. automobile movements. Neither did she
think the width of Alder Street was sufficient to accommodate a safe bicycle
path and at the same time accommodate two lanes of auto traffic and parking.
Tom Slocum, 2125 Fairmount Boulevard, expressed concern about the change to two-
way traffic on 11th between Hilyard and Alder, saying that existing problems
with egress and ingress for the medical clinic on the south side of 11th would
be worsened - eastbound traffic backing up at the Alder intersection light would
complicate an already difficult egress situation. Mr. Slocum suggested that the
change, if it is made, be on a temporary basis to determine the effect before
it is made permanent. With the amount of traffic entering 11th from Franklin
Boulevard, he said, it wouldn't seem that removal of the westbound lane would
be of benefit. He commented on the vacation of the alley near Sacred Heart and
the agreement between the Hospital' and the city with regard to land in that area,
saying that he didn't want to sell any of his property because of lack of space
now for parking. He reiterated that the proposed change would adversely affect
- the existing traffic situation in the 11th and Alder area, and he urged a
temporary change only until the ffect of such a change was known.
Public hearing was closed. there being no further testimony presented.
~78 10/11/76 - 3
In response to comments made, the traffic engineer said it was a case of watch-
ing what occurs; he felt the change would not be "as bad a job" as many of
those commenting thought. With regard to the alley near Sacred Heart, he veri-
fied Mr. Slocum's statement about a city/hospital agreement on land in that area ~
and said this change may be what would "trigger" that agreement. He added that -
there' had been several requests from commercial interests in that area for a
one-way alley system but so far nothing had developed in that regard. Traffic
Engineer continued that the width of Alder Street south of 13th was considered
adequate for autos traveling at speeds of 25 to 30 mph. Also, the six-foot bike
lane was considered adequate. With regard to the two-way traffic on 11th, he
said the proposal calls for a left-turn westbound movement at Alder to eliminate
any potential backup from that location.
Councilwoman Shirey asked how permanent this change would be, what expense would
be involved were the change made and reversed at a later date. Traffic Engineer
said the. expense to reverse the change once it is made would not be small be-
cause quite a bit of lane removal is necessary. Equipment is already on hand
for the signal changes, he said, so the major cost would be labor costs for
changing the lane lines.
Resolution No. 2566 - Changing traffic flow on Alder Street to one-way I-A-4
southbound from 11th Avenue to 18th Avenue was
re~d by number and title.
i'oT. Keller moved second by Mr. Haws to adopt the resolution. Motion
carried unanimously.
Resolution No. 2567 - Changing traffic flow on 11th Avenue to two-way
from Kincaid Street to Hilyard Street was read ~
by number and title. .,
Mr. Keller moved second by Mr. Haws to adopt the resolution. Motion
carried unanimously.
c. On east/west alley to one-way eastbound between VanBuren and Jackson, I-A-5
3rd and 4 th
Traffic Engineer explained that the change was proposed by a business owner
in the area and agreed to by a majority of the property owners contacted.
Staff had no objections and recommended the change because it would provide
a safer traffic entry to a blind intersection.
Public hearing was held with no testimony presented.
Resolution No. 2568 - Changing traffic flow on east/west alley to I~B-l
one-way eastbound between VanBuren Street and
Jackson Street, 3rd Avenue and 4th Avenue was read by number and title.
Mr. Keller moved second by Mr. Haws to adopt the resolution..
Motion carried unanimously.
C. Improvement of Highway 99N from Roosevelt Boulevard to Barger Drive
(continued from September 20, 1976)
Public Works Report on Highway 99 Improvement - Assistant Manager distributed _
the Public Works report to Council to review before further discussion of the matter .
at the October 6 Commdttee meeting. The report addresses questions raised in
Mr. Rick Cleveland's report distributed at the September 20 Council meeting. Comm
9/29/76
Pub Hrng
10/11/76 -4 l\1 q
Response to "Citizens 99 North Presentation" - Memo from Public Works Department
has been distributed to Council urging approval of the project; a report relating
to the median question has also been distributed. Further discussion is
e scheduled for the October 11 Council meeting.
Traffic Engineer A1 Williams explained that staff is strongly encouraging
approval of the project. As to the median, there is no way to answer all questions
regarding the desirability of the median from a safety standpoint. The issue
really revolves around the aesthetic value. The median question does not have
to be resolved immediately, traffic engineer pointed out. Council is urged to
direct Public Works and Parks to work jointly with the State Highway Department
and, if the median question is resolved affirmatively, to present options to
Council later. He did say that, if the median is built, it should be included in
the project now so as to avoid loss of funds.
Traffic Engineer pointed out that the project is not dealing with the same level
problem that existed on Barger and Royal where there was an obvious safety hazard.
One common threat, as in all improvement projects, is total opposition to the
assessment procedures. He said Council should recognize too that, in order to
reach the POlicies set forth in the Community Goals, ESATS, 1990 Plan, Bikeway
Plan and Bethe1-Danebo Refinement Plan, projects like this one must be completed.
The cost of this project is not out of line comparatively speaking, he added.
In answer to a question from Mr. Haws on the possibility of the state's paying Comm
for ~ , Mr. Williams said the State has never participated in the building of 10/6/76
curbs, gutters and sidewalks, or any additional roadway necessary for other Pub Hrng
mol:, -; of transportation such as pedestrian and bike.
Manager noted that staff rebuttal to citizens' objections to the project had been
e distributed previously to Council members. Staff also had explored the possibility
of a partial median strip, he said.
Traffic Engineer referred to information previously distributed to Council members
and said the staff had taken a more positive stance on this project than some others
because the work was felt to be necessary. He read a prepared statement stating the
public works staff position. Benefits, beside the aesthetic value, would be improved
access and control, in line with General Plan and community goals, the bike master
plan, Bethel-Oanebo plan, etc. , to facilitate movement for all modes of transportation-
auto, bicycle, transit, pedestrian. He compared costs of the proposed project to
similar improvements on Barger Drive, Royal Avenue, South Willamette, 11 th between
Seneca and Bailey Hill and further west, quoting an estimated per-front-foot price
of $32.00. With regard to medians, he said they were a safety factor for pedestrians
crossing at locations other than intersections and were considered official State
Highway requirement. Staff recommended serious consideration of proceeding with the
project with the option of resolving with the State, at staff level, the question of
the raised divider, staff to bring back at least two options and at that time proceed
with a public hearing to determine whether it would be installed. Traffic Engineer
said such options could he brought back for public hearing and a decision in time
for the median to be included in the project contract if it is decided to go ahead.
lie reiterated that staff strongly recommended proceeding with the improvement; it
was felt justified because it would improve the flow and safety of traffic, drainage,
provide definite areas for bikes and bus loading stations, besides encouraging the
use of bikes and buses, and improve the appearance of a major entrance to the city.
-_ Jane Giustina, 975 Oak Street, speaking for Citizens Bank, asked that the question of
the median strip be resolved before the project proceeds so that the businesses along
I-B-2 Highway 99N would have equal treatment so far as access was concerned. If it was not
resolved, she thought a public hearing should be held to afford those business people
an opportunity to speak to the issue. Ms. Giustina continued that it was her under-
Lf,80 10/11/76 - 5
standing that aesthetic value was one of the benefits of the project, yet she had
heard of no proposal to put the overhead wires underground, That should be considered
now rather than after the improvement work is done, she said. Traffic Engineer .
answered that EWEB would consider underground installation if property owners were
willing to pay the costs. There was no overwhelming support of that, he said, and sug- I-B-3
gested the issue be taken up with EWEB.
Bob Hannigan (unidentified) stated his objections by questioning staff's auto count I-B-4
on Highwayl99N on which the need for the improvement was based. He also questioned
staff response with regard to possibility of an alternate bike route - ". ..the rail-
road wasn't interested..."-as well as the bike count. He quoted bike counts taken by
other than staff and said the estimated cost of the project in his mind did not justify
"continuing the status quo" for traffic movement, both auto and bike. To expend the
funds would be foolish, he said, until such time as use of bikes and traffic count
forcasts w~rrant such an improvement, especially one that would not change the existing
number of traffic lanes. He felt the need would be questionable for the next five years.
With regard to curbs, gutters, and sidewalks, he said he would not contend they were
not needed;' but he felt there should be no new development on that street allowed un-
less curbs, gutters, and sidewalks were included as a part of the development. At
this time, he said, there was no demand for such items.
With regard to beautification, Mr. Hannigan continued, the staff had indicated the
major objective.of the improvement was for safety, drainage, traffic flow. If that
was the case, he asked, why not make more room for traffic flow - the proposed im-
provement would retain the present two lanes. He said those attending meetings with
regard to the project were predominantly opposed to the work, and he didn't think
the proposed expenditure was needed for the amount of work that was proposed. He
said the city would not lose the federal funds if the project was not done now, as
stated by staff, because the money could be used on other projects. Anyway, he said, e
if funds are not available now, should the project be dropped, that would not pre-
clude funds being available at some future time. With regard to assessments and
staff comment that owners of abutting property would be paying for something less
than a 44-foot paving, Mr. Hannigan asked the Council to consider the "adequate
roadway" already in place for which property owners have already paid either through
taxes or land acquisition. In summation, Mr. Hannigan.reiterated his belief that the
amount of money proposed for this improvement was far in excess of the work needed
in that area.
Jim Watters, 734 Highway 99N, pointed to the increased traffic generated by develop- I-B-5
ment in outlying areas and said he thought the money would be better spent on increas-
ing the number of good travel lanes, acquiring additional right-of-way for that purpose
if part of the right-of-way was to be used for bike and pedestrian traffic.
Margaret Hedrick, 1325 Andel Avenue, owner of property abutting the proposed improve-
ment, felt the need had not been shown for the improvements proposed, that it was not
a logical or practical proposal, and that it would be an overwhelming burden for prop-
erty owners who would be assessed. She thought there. might be a need in the shopping
areas for some additional control to facilitate pedestrian crossing. Other than that,
she felt the project would be turning a heavily traveled highway into a "community
boulevard ~,
Public hearing was closed and a short recess was taken. I-B-6
Upon reconvening, Al Williams, traffic engineer, answered questions raised. He said e
staff traffic cQunts indicated 26,000 vehicles per day between Barger Drive and Prairie
Road on Highway 99N. With regard to storm drainage, he said, the major cost would
be involved in getting rid of the open ditches north of Fairfield. State Highway staff
10/11/76 - 6 l.\~\
consistently has held to a 10-foot shoulder width over and above the two travel
lanes, so the cross-section of the roadway would be the same with or without bike
e paths. In addition, the proposed width would provide the potential for acceleration
lanes. He said he had hoped the accident rate would not be made an issue. However,
he cited the 121 nonintersection accidents in the period from 1971 to 1975.
Traffic Engineer continued with regard to funding that outside, or federal, funding -
that is, other than assessment - was not relevant unless the Council were to change
the assessment policy. Concerning bike usage, Traffic Engineer reiterated the posi-
tion that provision of bike facilities encourages use of bicycles. And safety of
bikes on this type of road was certainly pertinent, he said. He pointed out the
understanding that costs of improvements on this roadway in the past would have been
met by gas tax funds. Access control and safety, according to the Highway Users
Federation Report of 1970, he said, was three times safer with effective right-of-way
and traffic access control in commercial areas. Future need for increasing capacity
of the street would not be precluded by the proposed cross-section because the dis-
tance between the curbs would be adequate if the bike lane was deleted. This estimate
was based on criteria in ESATS update discussions; and, with Coburg Road carrying
in excess of 40,000 cars perday, the proposed cross-section for Highway 99N was belt
adequate.
Traffic Engineer commented that it appeared pertinent to again address the median
quest!.on. The process outlined by staff, if approved by the Council, he said, would
be rpturned with at least two options - either a fully raised divider or a combina-
tion of two-way left turn lane and raised divider at appropriate locations _ in time
for consideration before a second public hearing on the project at time of contract
award. That process would assure resolution of the median issue before the project
design was finished so that whatever choice is made could be included in the final
e design if the Council chooses to proceed with the project. Traffic Engeiner strongly
urged that process be followed.
Mayor Anderson suggested no questions with regard to the median at this time, rather
to address only the question of whether the project would proceed. If that decision
was affirmative, he said, then the question of the median would be taken up.
Councilman Bradley asked if there were alternatives other than Highway 99N for bike
traffic traveling north from Roosevelt to Fairfield. Traffic Engineer answered that
the bike committee, in considering the Master Bike Plan, had looked at the possi-
bility of utilizing the Burlington Northern right-of-way with the conclusion that even
if the right-of-way could be secured, there was the question of whether it would be
adequate. He said the Master Plan does call for a bike faci 1 i ty on Highway 99N,
also on Bethel Drive itself to take movements from about Bethel and 99N. Over the
long haul, he said, a facility might have to be requested on the railroad right-of-way,
but even with that possibility, the proposed cross-section for Highway 99N improvement
would still be the same; therefore, the assessment cost would still be the same based
on present city policy.
Council Bill No. 1247 - Paving Highway 99N from Roosevelt Boulevard to
Barger Drive (617) was read by council bill number and
title only, there being no Council member present requesting that it be read
in full.
Mr. Keller moved second by Mr. Haws that the bill be read the second time by
- council bill number only, with unanimous consent of the Council, and that enact-
ment be considered at this time.
II -A-l Councilman Haws noted that the project was in his ward and that basically the proposal
was the same as for any other street in the city - either it is improved or it isn't.
L.f8~ 10/11/76 - 7
After review, listening to testimony, and discussing the issue with various people,
he said he had decided to vote for approval of the project.
Councilman Williams noted his intent to abstain from voting because of his interest .
in Citizen's Bank and the position taken by the Bank at this meeting.
Councilman Bradley asked if staff had given any thought to installation of sidewalk
on only one side of the street, whether pedestrian traffic warranted installation on
both sides. Traffic Engineer answered that it was discussed with people in the staff
meetings in the area and debated "quite a bit." However, conclusion was that installa-
tion on one side only would not be "good engineering" based on what is there now.
Because of changing land use and developments going in on the east side of the street
plus anticipated increase in development, installation on both sides was felt justified.
Even if one side was deleted, he said, the cost of installation on one side would be
assessed equally to both sides so the cost savings per front foot would not be much.
Vote was taken on the motion for second reading. Motion carried, all
Council members present voting aye, except Councilman Williams abstaining,
and the bill was read the second time by council bill number only.
Mr. Keller moved second by Mr. Haws that the bill be approved and given final
passage. Rollcall vote. All Council members present voting aye, the bill was
declareJ passed and numbered 17770, Councilman Williams abstaining.
Couno 1 Bi 11 No. 1248 - Adopting plans and specifications for paving Highway 99N

Mr. Keller moved second by Mr. Haws that staff bring at least two
options back to the Council with regard to the Highway 99N median
somewhat prior to the public hearing on the contract award so that e
whatever decision is made can be included in the final design and
project bid. Motion carried, all Council members present voting ~
aye, except Council Williams abstaining.
10/11/76 - 8 l1g3
D. Collective Bargaining Ordinance
- Collective Bargaining Ordinance - Hearing Date__ - Memo from City Manager, together
with a legislative history and the proposed ordinance, have been distributed to
Council.
Personnel Director Gary Long said that, since informal presentation of the
ordinance to the Council August 16, the City Attorney's office has made
editorial changes but the purpose and intent of the August 16 version were
maintained. Concerns have been expressed since the distribution to Council
this week regarding the status of recognized units and bargaining agents and
regarding the cost of hearings officials. It is the intent that the hearings
official costs, fees, support cost, etc. be city costs and that transcripts,
hearing preparation and presentation remain the responsibility of respective
parties to the hearing. Finally, said Mr. Long, an i tern to be worked out
relates to the enforcement/penalties clause.
Police and fire representatives have reaffirmed their agreement with the
city on the final version of the ordinance, but AFSCME representatives are
requesting numerous substantive changes.
Mr. Murray wondered how Police and Fire representatives view the changes
proposed by AFSCME. Randy White, president of the patrolmen's association,
s3id their position is that AFSCME's suggested changes apply only to AFSCME.
It any do impact on police, they would then want some input.
Mr. Haws felt that AFSCME's concerns should be stated in writing and ready for
delivery to the Council the Friday before the public hearing. Mr. Leighty,
e representing AFSCME, responded that compilation of the information by Friday
would be difficult, though they would make a concerted effort. Postponement
of the hearing for one week would give ample time, however. Personnel Director
noted that bargaining under the old contract and existing ordinances is
scheduled to open on October 15; an October 11 hearing is therefore requested
as the City is now operating in a procedural vacumn .
Comm
Mr. Keller moved seconded by Mr. Haws to set an October 11 hearing 10/6/76
date. Motion carried unanimously. Pub Hrng
II-A-2 Gary Long, personnel director, said he had met again with representatives of all
three labor organizations at which four items were worked on: (1) Resolution of
differences with regard to enforcement and penalty provisions in the ordinance;
(2) resolution clarifying costs by amending legislative memo, previously distri-
buted, summarizing legislative intent of the ordinance; (3)inclusion of paragraph
in ordinance clarifying status of bargaining units and agents; and (4) miscellaneous
errata for clarification purposes. He said a position paper also had been received
from AFSCME and a letter from the police union outlining its position; copies of all
were distributed to Council members.
Public hearing was opened.
Howard Leighty, speaking for AFSCME, reviewed highlights of position stated in
writing and previously distributed to Council - that AFSCME thought there was
direct conflict between the proposed ordinance and the AFSCME constitution pro-
tt vision prohibiting any union representation other than that authorized in writing
by AFSCME membership. Also, they felt the definition of "fair share" was dangerous
to AFSCME as well as to the other two unions. He suggested modification that would
change the words "...in bargaining unit..." to ".. .casting ballots in a fair share
election.. .." The most important issue, he said, however, was the question of
1f8Lf 10/11/76 - 9
~--_.- -
whether public employes should have the right to strike. AFSCME took the position
that they did not want the right to strike, as provided for in the proposed ordinance;
rather, they preferred that impasse disputes be offered for final binding arbitra- .
tion. If they were forced to accept the "right to strike" provision, he said,
there would be less incentive for the city to submit reasonable offers. He read -
from the prepared statement requesting a change that would require final offers
arbitration so that AFSCME would be treated the same as the police and fire unions.
Mr. Leighty asked that the ordinance be sent back to staff for revision in consulta-
tion with affected unions. He added that there was no emergency since the old
ordinance would be in effect while the new one was being prepared and labor negotia-
tions could proceed as scheduled.
Randy Wight, president of the Eugene Police Patrolmen's Association, read a prepared
statement in support of the proposed ordinance. He asked the Council, if it did not
enact the new ordinance, to remand it back to staff and unions to mutually resolve
the differences, saying that if the ordinance was altered to accommodate one "party,"
the "balance" can be destroyed.
Frank Jackson, speaking for the Firefighters, in general agreed with the Patrol-
men's Association. He supported AFSCME's right to express any legitimate concerns
they had and didn't object to the Council's making changes; however, he said if changes
were made which would require substantial negotiation, the ordinance should be sent
back for negotiation between staff and all three unions. He said the Firefighters
would ohject to any changes that would alter the intent since they had already agreed
to terms of the one proposed here.
Clark Cox, Jr., 1085 Patterson Street #9, supported AFSCME position and urged ap-
provla of their recommendation to reinstate the final offers arbitration provision
rather than the right-to-strike provision. e
-
Public hearing was closed, there being no further testimony presented.
Councilman Haws asked for clarification of the time element and the issue of hav- II-A-3
ing different ordinances for each union. Personnel Director explained the time
element involved the revised charter provision adopted and now effective but with
no ordinance for its implementation. He thought trying to update the old charter
ordinance provisions would be much more of a problem than dealing with issues
under a new ordinance, specifically in terms of conflict with current charter pro-
visions. With regard to separate ordinances, he said the more prevalent practice
was to go to final offers in the public safety sector - police and fire.
Councilman Bradley asked what the city "would fall back on" if no ordinance was
enacted. Personnel Director answered that it was uncertain, and that was one reason
why they felt the ordinance should be adopted to permit police and fire negotiations
to proceed fairly promptly. He said that under home rule, the city has the authority
to enact collective bargaining procedures, but that doesn't automatically mean
state law takes over if there are no loc~l procedures adopted. With b~rgaining
talks coming up, he said, the question of bargaining agents and units would be
questionable without the implementing ordinance.
Councilwoman Beal suggested following the course recommended by the unions - to
send the ordinance back to staff and the three unions for resolution of the dif-
ferences. She thought too that if there was substantive change, the Council sub-
committ~e that reviewed charter provisions with respect to collective bargaining e
should sit in on the discussions.
~
Councilman Murray said he thought the changes proposed by AFSCME were substantive
and merited serious attention. He said his impression as a member of the Council
subcommittee reviewing charter revisions with regard to collective bargaining was
10/11/76 - 10 Lt%5
that the support by the police and fire unions of the proposed charter revision
was conditional on the substance of the proposed ordinance. For that reason,
e he said, if any substantive changes were made, all parties should be a part of
the discussions.
Councilman Williams was also a member of the Council subcommittee on charter re-
view. lIe said the charter amendment and the proposed ordinance were brought to
the Council as a package and presented to the voters with the statement that the
ordinance would be adopted as soon as possible after enactment of the charter.
With that commitment, he said, the Council more or less had to do that. He sug-
gested that the proposed ordinance be put into operation, then if problems arose
they could always be brought back to the Council for discussion rather than to
renege now on the commitment made.
Councilman Bradley asked if state law provided a mechanism for proceeding with
collective bargaining. Personnel Director said his understanding was that the
city then would be in violation of the charter. This was confirmed by the Assist-
ant City Manager.
Mayor Anderson commented on the question of credibility, saying a copy of the pro-
posed ordinance was presented for information in his talks promoting adoption of
the revised chsarter; to make substantive changes at this time would be violating
the trust of the voters in passing the charter. He also shared the concern of
staff and the unions in trying to develop good collective bargaining procedures
before going into negotiations. He felt a decision should be made at this time
rather than referring the issue back to staff - to do otherwise merely would go back
to where the three unions and staff were six months ago. In addition, he said,
he felt this certainly would not be the last collective bargaining document the
e city would be considering; any problems arising can be worked out. He noted that
two of the three unions had indicated they were ready to move ahead, and he thought
tyring to get a perfect document at this time or at any time would be a never-
ending process.
Councilman Haws said this document was promised and should be adopted now, but he
was also concerned about questions raised by AFSCME. He suggested that staff dis-
cuss the issues with the union and bring to the Council a statement of the view-
points of that particular union. Personnel Director offered to respond at this time,
however. With regard to AFSCME position that the ordinance conflicts with its ton-
stitution, staff didn't see the same conflict and would not advise deletion of
language that had been law in the private sector since 1947. The understanding
of case law with regard to "fair share" agreement, he said, was "a majority choos-
ing to vote," not "a majority in a unit." With regard to the strike issue, Per-
sonnel Director continued, negotiations between staff and the three unions covered
the issue of how final procedures would be resolved. He recognized that policy
decision would have to focus on policy constraints of Oregon law, and the city
code was in fair conformity to state statute. There was also the question of
strike-vs arbitration mechanism, he said, and that issue is now being raised at
the state level where a constitutional amendment has been proposed that would re-
move home rule authority. If enacted, he said, there would be a major cleanup
on existing procedures. His understanding was that AFSCME statewide was support-
ing that amendment. Staff position is that exercise of home rule authority is
in conformity with state law. Personnel Director continued that with regard to a
hearing official, staff chose to model those procedures and authorities of public
e employe vs third party after state procedures - also a policy matter. The clear-
est option for enforcement is with the use of a local hearings official, he said.
In response to Councilman /laws with regard to "lock out," Personnel Director said
that ironically "lock out" was mentioned only once in the ordinance. AFSCME re-
quested additional language in that regard but staff felt the suggested change was
of very little utility to the city.
Lf-g~ 10/11/76 - 11
Councilwoman Shirey asked if passing the ordinance now would preclude any changes
suggested as the result of negotiations between staff, the three unions, and the
Council subcommittee should such negotiations be held. Personnel Director said .
that adoption of the ordinance now would have no impact on AFSCME because any
impasse is at least 21 months away. He suggested if the ordinance was to be con-
sidered further that it be done in the spring when bargaining was over and the
personnel staff could "get back to the issues left behind." He said a request
from anyone of the three parties, staff, or the Council could initiate such a
process.
Councilman Keller asked if in staff's opinion the intent and workability of the
ordinance had been changed in resolving differences to date. Personnel Director
answered that there had been no change in intent, the basic thrust ha.s been the
same since July 28 meetings. Modifications made, he said, would ensure effective
enforcement. With regard to workability, he referred to memo previously given to
Council members stating it was "acceptable to the parties," and he felt the best
way to describe the final document presented was that "it contained compromises
for everyone."
Councilwoman Beal, recognizing the obligation to the voters in passing the charter
revision, felt there was a stronger obligation to the unions since an agreement
had been reached in negotiations on the proposed wording. She felt the unions
should be drawn together again to get agreement from them.
Mrs. Beal moved second by Mr. Bradley to table the issue until the II-B-I
October 25 Council meeting, pending further work between staff and
the unions.
In resonse to Mayor Anderson's request for direction and intent of the motion e
without debating the move to table itself, Councilwoman Beal said her idea was
that the staff and three unions should get together and reach mutual agreement
on what was heard "loud and clear" - that AFSCME wants changes and the other two
unions do not want changes without having been a party to tHose negotiations.
She felt that if it was easier for staff to come back to the Council subcommittee
that reviewed the charter revision, that could be worked out.
Assistant Manager pointed out that the motion was to table to a date certain,
which in fact was just postponing to a date certain - and that would be debatable.
Mayor Anderson ruled the motion debatable.
Councilman Murray also recognized the obligation to voters, at the same time recog-
nizing the potential of a continual hassle working under an ordinance to which
there has not been unanimous agreement. He felt if further meeting between staff
and the unions could be expedited so as to get back to the Council with a "hard
decision" as quickly as possible, it should be done.
Councilman Keller urged adoption of the ordinance at this meeting, calling attention
to the strong commitment already made to the voters. He recognized too the minor
points differing from the initial document, but he thought it important to proceed
now. Councilman Williams spoke for adoption at this time also. He said that after
the commitment to the people to adopt an ordinance as soon as possible after the
charter revision was passed, walking away from it at this point would make him
wonder about the general grant of power given in the charter. e
Councilman Bradley wondered if there was anything in the proposed ordinance that -
could be "put on the back shelf" without jeopardizing its workability in the
coming collective bargaining sessions. Personnel Director said he would not recom-
10/11/76 - 12 i&1
mend pulling anything out because of the relationship of every section to another _
nothing could be deleted without having an impact on some other section. He re-
iterated that AFSCME has no contract opening until 1977 so any change could be
- made six or twelve months from now and still have no impact on the current contract.
He added, in further response to Councilman Bradley, that strike and lock out pro-
visions are tied together for nonpublic safety personnel. Staff could not recom-
mend any other issues be modified because of legalities and the substantive policy
issue involved.
Councilman Murray asked for some discussion on the merit of adopting the ordinance
now if it was understood that the AFSCME proposals would be discussed in the
spring. He didn't want to be locked into one course or another. Neither did
Mayor Anderson, saying AFSCME was not affected at this time and may even want to
study the issues more themselves in view of the recent change in AFSCME officials.
He thought the commitment to the voters was absolute - to pass an ordinance im-
mediately upon adoption of the revised charter. Not to do so would certainly
affect the credibility of this Council, he said, as well as the integrity of the
entire collective bargaining procedure.
Councilman Haws agreed, at the same time concurring in concerns expressed by
Mrs. Beal. But he thought the ordinance should be adopted now, then there would
be time to discuss and make changes wanted later. Councilman Williams concurred.
Councilwoman Beal thought the commitment to the voters was to return with an
ordinance to which all parties agreed - to adopt an ordinance with one union
dissenting, separating those interests, would be a disservice to the labor move-
ment and collective bargaining status. She noted the confusion because of the
change in AFSCME leadership and the difficulty in dealing with a body that has to
e return to its membership and said she felt there should be the opportunity for
all three unions to reach an understanding. Mayor Anderson resonded that in pre-
senting the revised charter to the voters, the Council never committed itself to
getting agreement between all parties; it was indicated at that time that AFSCME
did oppose the revision. But the people were informed of that and they wanted to
see the charter adopted as revised.
Councilman Bradley asked if the Labor Relations Board was tied into the AFSCME
contract. Personnel Director answered that it wasn't. In the last round of talks
with AFSCME, he said, their contract was changed and it is anticpated that en-
forcement would be changed to coincide with the proposed ordinance.
Councilwoman Shirey said she would vote against the motion to postpone but she
expressed concern about the issues' being brought back for further consideration.
Councilman Keller commented that when he and Councilman Murray in public appear-
ances had asked for citizen support of the charter, the issue of the right to
strike had been discussed at some great length. So the public was aware of that
issue.
Counclman Murray asked Mrs. Beal what disadvantage she thought there would be to
adopting the ordinance now if there was a clear understanding at the same time of
the obligation to discuss the AFSCME issues in the spring. Mrs. Beal said it was
her understanding that staff would be entering negotiations immediately with the
police and fire unions, that it would be "picking off one union against the other
two." She didn't think that a proper stance, and she didn't think the unions
e wanted it.
Vote was taken on the motion to postpone to October 2S Council meet-
ing. Motion defeated - Council members Beal and Bradley voting aye;
Council members Keller, Haws, Will iams, Murray, Hamel, and Shirey
voting no. Lf88
10/11/76 - 13
CouncIl Bill No. 1255 - Repealing, amending, and adding certain sections
to City Code re: Labor-Management Relations and
Impasse Resolution was read by council bill number and title only, there
being no Council member present requesting that it be read in full. .
Mr. Keller moved second by Mr. Haws that the bill be read the second time by council
bill number only, with unanimous consent of the Council, and that enactment be con-
sidered at this time. Motion defeated, lacking unanimous consent, all Counei 1
members present voting aye, except Councilwoman Beal voting no.
In voting no, Mrs. Beal said she was doing so with the hope that before the
October 25 Council meeting staff could bring back new terminology.
Mr. Murray m~ved second by Mr. Hamel that the Council had the understand-
ing of a firm commitment that AFSCME issues would be discussed with repre-
sentatives of all three unions and city staff and brought back for further
Council instruction in the spring.
Mayor Anderson suggested the motion state "late spring" because of the possibility
of legislative changes affecting collective bargaining that could take place during
the 1977 session of the State Legislature. Personnel Director thought the bargain-
ing process would begin about June, so any legislative decision could well be
co-ordinated with talks next year.
Vote was taken on the motion with the understand the issue would be
brought back .after the 1977 legislative session. Motion carried -
all Council members present voting aye, except Councilwoman Beal
saying she would abstain since her term on the Council expires this
year and she would not be present when the issue was brought back. .
Councilman Bradley asked about the mechanism in the next two weeks without adoption
of the ordinance. Personnel Director said operations would be on "good faith" as
specified under interim operating procedures in the memo distributed to the Council
previously.
Frank Jackson assured the Council and staff of the Firefighters Association pledge
to continue operations under the same system as in the past without any labor
changes or stoppages.
Mayor Anderson expressed his appreciation and that of the Council to the unions
and staff for the long hours of work in developing what he thought was an excellent
document. He recognized the differences regarding the workability of the ordinance
but at the same time thought it was a major step in the collective bargaining program.
Above all, he said, it demonstrated good faith on the part of all parties.
E. Public Employment Act Grant Application II-B-2
Public Works Employment Act Grant Applications - Memo from City Manager,
letter from EWEB and list of tentative proposals have been distributed to
Council. The Act, when it becomes law, will provide not less than 10 million
or more than 37 million for Oregon. Capitol improvement public works proposals
will be funded at 100% of the project costs. The projects must be of considerable
size - $100,000 minimum - and $5,000,000 is the ceiling. Staff has proposed
those projects which could qualify and which could be commenced in the allotted
time . .
Assistant Manager explained that the Federal Government will prioritize the
projects by a point system. He feels the only variation in points among the
project:.s is in the item under "bonus point - pot:.ential for long-term benefits".
10/11/76 - 14 t.t&q
,
ith other categories, all the proposed projects should have the same number of
points. Long-term benefits typically translate into jobs, he said.
e Mrs. Beal wondered about including in the proposals the construction of adequate
ki tchen facili ties for seniors for meals-on-wheels, etc. In this regard, Manager
explained that the Palace Hotel had been considered in formulating the proposals
but could not qualify because properties must be publicly owned.
Mayor Anderson felt that grants would be msde for labor-intensive projects and
he felt any allocation for kitchen facilities would go mostly into equipment Comm
purchase. 9/22/76
Mr. Haws moved seconded by Mrs. Beal to schedule a public hearing rub Hrng
on the proposals for October 11. Motion carried unanimously.
II-B-2 Manager noted the memo explaining the use of the funds applied for and the list
of projects proposed, which was previously distributed to Council members. Dale
Harkey, city manager's office, read from the memo the objectives of the Act and
the rules for allocation of funds.
Bob Thomas, assistant director of housing, displayed a sketch of the retail
space proposed for construction in connection with a parking structure at the
north end of the downtown mall (8th and Willamette). He said it was part of
the urban design and renewal plan and found not feasible to complete as part
of the original entity, but it seemed to fit the criteria of this Act.
Public hearing was opened with no testimony given.
- Resolution No. 2569 - Authorizing applications under Title I of the
Public Works Employment Act of 1976 was read
by number and title.
Mr. Keller moved second by Mr. Haws to adopt the resolution.
Clark Cox, Jr., 1085 Patterson Street #9, member of the Citizens Advisory Com-
mittee for Lane Transit District, wondered why only the retail space under the
parking structure was mentioned, why not the transit station. He asked too how
a member of the public would go about applying for funds. Manager answered that
the parking structure mentioned was across the street from the transit station,
and that there were only 90 days in which to apply for funds and it was pre-
sumed better if the city applied in view of the complete plans and specifica-
tions required in that time.
Councilman Bradley asked about the priority order of the projects listed. Mana-
ger answered that the list reflected the city's preference, no priorities are
allowed since the projects will be selected on a point system. Several Council
members commented on the' laundry list" and "being stuck with a jumble of things,"
but Manager explained that the application had to be made within 90 days, giving
no time to do other than the list presented.
I III-A-] Vote was taken on the motion to adopt the resolution. Motion
carried on rollcall vote - all Council members present voting aye.

. Public hearing was held with no testimony presented.
Mr. Keller moved second by Mr. Haws to award contract to the Land-
scape and Maintenance Service on their low bid price of $7,723.71.
Councilman Haws questioned whether this was the best use of $7700, whether there were
more important projects. Manager explained that the Laurelwood course was a revenue
producing facility and criticism of the course often related to the green proposed
for reconstruction. Mayor Anderson likened the course to a major piece of equipment
broken and in need of repairs - and Councilman Williams said it was the worse green
in the U. S. and A.
Rollcall vote was taken on the motion as stated. Motion carried - all
Council members present voting aye, except Councilman Haws voting no.

Motion carried unanimously.
C.29th and Wil1amette Traffic and Other Nuisances - Reports were transmitted to
Council September 15 regarding the problem of "dragging the gut" in that area.
Mrs. Gayle Lecher, 2832 High, representing her immediate neighborhood, stressed
how difficult the situation has been - not only with traffic and noise but
also with broken bottles, and garbage. Large trucks often use High Street
as a throughway as well, she said. She felt that attention shoo1d be given
immediately to installation of yield or stop signs on High Street as none
exists at present and she has observed dragsters traveling as fast as 60 mph
on the street.
Mayor Anderson emphasized that Council is aware of all the problems in the
area, that they are interested in having ideas generated that will assist in
a possible solution.
James Weathers, owner of Webfoot Lanes, suggested making Willamette a one-way
- street during the heaviest dragging hours. He and other businessmen feel that
method would alleviate the problem somewhat.
Jon Silvermoon, 47~ W. 25th, said that the Friendly Area Neighbors planning
committee met and are suggesting that some community development money be
y.~~ 10/11/76 - 17
.. -.--. -
designated,! for this area. He also suggested that any comIni ttee formed to work
on the situation should include representatives from Crest Drive, Dunn and
Friendly neighborhood groups, as well as city staff members. e
Jim Johnston, Crest Drive neighbors, suggested that, since young people use the
-...../
area as a place to meet, perhaps the city should identify some youth meeting
places at different locales.
Mr. Bradley suggested that an ad hoc committee be formed consisting of one
representative each from the youth commission, the planning commission and the
Council, neighborhood group representatives and a school board member, as well
as representation from the businesses and, if possible, a "gut driver".
He also suggested a staff technical advisory committee to work with the ad hoc
commi ttee .
Mayor Anderson felt that seeking community development money had considerable
appeal. The problem has been discussed by various committees for a long time,
and he feels a hard-nose professional approach should be taken.
Mr. Murray mentioned that the CD application process is presently in gear - forms
are available from Housing and Community Conservation. He also said that trucks
using a street as a throughway is a ticketable offense if that street is not a
designated' truck route. Perhaps some vigilance in the neighborhood would bring
results. Finally, he feels some promise for protection could be given
residential side streets through a systematic attempt at traffic diverter
installation. Another workable plan might be for businessmen to block off their
parking lots on Friday and Saturday nights.
Mrs. Beal wondered about citizen arrests. Assistant City Attorney responded -
that a citizen cannot issue a citation; rather, a complaint must be filed.
Assistant City Manager advised that the Police Department is prepared to ~
contact the owners of vehicles creating nuisances. Neighbors are advised to
attempt to record and report license numbers.
Jay Montgomery, 2655 Oak, felt the solution lies in providing alternative
activities for young people.
As regards Mr. Bradley's suggested committee structure, Manager pointed
out that the youth commission does not yet exist and the process of
securing a school board member to work on the committee would take some time.
Mayor Anderson felt that talent would be more important on a committee than
balanced representation.
Comm
Mr. Murray moved seconded by Mr. Haws to authorize staff to proceed 9/22/76
with the appointment of a committee composed of staff, neighborhood Approve
groups, business people along Willamette, a Council member, and, if
possible, representation from the young people. Motion carried
unanimously.
D. Tri-Agency Dog Control Authority Complaint Handling - Mr. Bradley asked
that Council approve the expansion of the Authority's jurisdiction to
include handling animal complaints that at the present time are handled by
the Police Departments. Those complaints would be handled on a contractual
basis, with reimbursement by the various jurisdictions. Lane County and e
Springfield have agreed to the extension, he said. Mrs. Beal wondered
about dealing with problems outside the city limits. Assistant Manager ~
said that the County will pay when dealing with complaints (coyotes, etc.)
outside the ci ty . Dog license revenue will not cover that type of activity.

Hr. Williams thought it might be useful to break ou t some historic data on
whether previous allocations were made on the same percentage basis.
In answer to a question from Finance Director, Mr. Haws noted that the desired
effective date of the proposal would be July 1, 1977.
Mr. Haws has distributed a letter to Council dated September 20 from Frank
GeItner, 3055 Kincaid. Mr. GeItner mentions an allocation system whereby the
. people decide how funds are distributed through what he calls an "articket"
system. Mr. Haws would like to further study the proposal and bring back to
Council for discussion.

Mr. Keller clarified that the percentage breakdowns indicated the maximum that
would be able to be provided in each case. Supporting data on the requests would
still come to Council before any allocations were made. .

for transfer of funds so that maintenance can be provided at both complexes.
Mrs. Bea1 wondered why so much is saved on janitorial services when contracted

Q. City-County Social Services Fund - Assistant Manager announced that, because
of the resignation of a full-time social services program manager at the
county, Ani ta Larsen will transfer to the county to fill the vacancy. Ms.
Larsen is currently working for the city and part of her job is serving as
half-time liaison to the county in the social services area. Assistant
Manager feels Ms. Larsen is sensitive to the problems of the city and there
can be a good understanding with the county that will no longer require a
staff person to remain at the city.
Mrs. Shirey said that Ms. Larsen was most helpful as a staff person working
wi th the social services advisory corruni ttee. She would like that staff
assistance to continue.
e In answer to a question from Mrs. Beal about turning over the responsibility
to the county, Assistant Manager said the city will retain management and policy
controls through the subcommittee of the budget corrunittee. Mrs. Beal fel t
the social services program has "gotten away from us" and she feels it should
be a concern of the neighborhood groups. She is dissatisfied with the
delivery of services on the county level. Assistant Manager noted a strong
connection between the city and county; the priority of how the money is
allocated, he said, is a budget subcorrunittee item with the city having the
majori ty vote. He added the problems are not so much at the policy level
but rather with the day-to-day operation of grants to see if they are
producing.
Mrs. Beal feels the entire joint social services program should be
discussed at a subsequent Corrunittee meeting and she wants to also
look at the possibility of involving neighborhood groups.

T. Election Results Comments - Mayor Anderson expressed deep appreciation to
staff, the Better Eugene Committee headed by Gordon Coleman, the Council and
the vot~rs for the gratifying results of the September 21 election approving
both a $5,000,000 parks levy and the revised charter. He felt the results
indicate that the voters are discerning; in the matter of the freeway
amendment on the charter revision, they did not accede to false issues; as
far as collective bargaining, the voters indicated that they wanted a sound, Comm
responsible labor management program within the city. Mayor Anderson added
that the vote for the parks levy was 9,047 yes to 6,203 no; the vote for 9/22/76
charter revision was 8,931 yes to 6,136 no. File

w. l-airmount Neighbors Request for Street Use - Letter from the Fairmount Neighbors
has been distributed to Council, and City Attorney's legal opinion on street e
use was distributed earlier. The opinion has indicated that the main problem
wi th block parties is the liability and the cost of insunance coverage. --
Mrs. Reeder of the Fairmount Neighbors expressed disappointment wi th the legal
opinion. She noted, too, that the State Attorney General had indicated that a
ci ty cannot give permission, whether it be revocable or otherwise, to obstruct
a street by a temporary structure so as to interfere with the use and enjoyment
of the street by the public. She feels that block parties do constitute
enjoyment of the street by the public.
Assistant City Attorney responded that their office would explore the issue on
a program development basis if requested to do so; he said it needs to be
understood that, unless insurance carriers change their minds, the price tag
will be drastically high if underwritten at all. After _the revised charter
becomes effective in April, 1977, the question of grant of power will be
answered. The city will then have the authority, unless the state says no. Comm
9/22/76
Mrs. Beal wondered about considering self-insurance - in other words, getting no File
insurance and taking the risk.
It was understood that the City Attorney would further consider the matter after

Z. Public Works Employment Act Projects - Assistant Manager noted that, if Comm
there are projects which a department would like to explore, Dale Harkey 9/29/76

can be done.
AA. 1975 Crime Statistics and 1976 Projections - Memos from Acting Police Chief
have been distributed to Council which indicate a continued trend of increase
in crimes against persons but, after a 7.1% increase in 1975, indicate a
projected decrease in 1976 of crimes against property.
Acting Police Chief Larion said that the index of crimes in Eugene is based
On information retrieved from the monthly Uniform Crime Reports. That same
information is used in the State of Oregon Analyses of Criminal Offenses
and Arrests. He said this is the first time the state has provided
comparative data between cities. There is still latitude that is used in
determining how offenses are classified, especially when comparing
jurisdictions. If a jurisdiction makes it difficult to report crimes, the
report of that jurisdiction may reflect a lower number of crimes than actually Comm
com':zi tted. 9/29/76
File
Chief Larion noted that 22.6% of all thefts are bike thefts. Programs are
underway to encourage bike licensing and proper locking of bicycles. There are
. not too many tactics to effectively prevent the crimes against persons. The
police generally become invo1 ved after the fact.
In answer to questions from Mr. Murray, Chief Larion said that increase in crime
is statistically higher in outlying areas. He said that juvenile crime is
consistently 50-70% of all crime. That figure excl udes violent crimes against
people. Chief Larion also noted that "project Identification" appears to have
had a significant impact. Mr. Murray wondered if any cash value type of breakdown
could be done. Chief ,Larion felt that probably could be done; he noted too that
the average loss to a burglarized home is $175.
BB. Preservation of Armory - Mrs. Beal noted that individuals were present to speak
against the demolition of the armory.
Mrs: Beal m~ved seconded by Mr. Keller to allow the visitors to speak. Comm
Mot~on carr~ed unanimously. 9/29/76

LaVerne Edwards, 208 Heritage, asked that the Council assume leadership in efforts
to preserve the armory. It is one of the last public buildings left, she said.
There are 44,000 square feet and the building would cost $11 to $15 million to
replace today. She noted the cost of tearing it down and relocating the elections
department to another site, feeling the money would best be used for rel10deli
purposes. ng
Mayor Anderson co~ented that, from the Council's standpoint, there would
have to be lTOre w~despread COImlunitl} concern about it When Coun'l l'
. . c~ ear ~er

Mr. Bradley wondered about the possibility of using Public Works Employment
Act grant rraney for the arlCDry. Assistant Manger said that, in the case of the
arIIr)ry, there would not be adequate time to draw up the necessary plans. e
Mr. Murra.y fel t that any action now rests wi tb the county. ...--
He felt too that some
hard structural facts would have to be presented to make it worthwhile to pursue
since it appears the arItr)ry is beyond repair.
Armory Report - Mr. Murray called attention to the fact that, at the
September 29 COrnnUttee meeting, he had mentioned receiving a report from
a qualified individual that it was too late to save the armory. Mr.
Murray had assumed that to mean "structurally" too late but is now informed
that the individual meant "politically" too late. Also, Mr. Murray has now Comm
received statistics from an architect which indicate that the cost of
armory rehabilitation would be in the neighborhood of $600,000 to $650,000, 10/6/76
or about $15 per square foot. File
Mr. Bradley wondered about the City's acquiring the property for future
space needs. Assistant Manager pointed out that there are advantages to
having all ci ty staff located in one .place and that there is capability of
adding onto Ci ty Hall in the form of a tower. Parking is the most
pressL-.g civic center need, he said.

EE. ICMA Conference Report - Manager reported on sessions which he attended at
the ICMA conference in Toronto September 25-28. He said that the panel most
pertinent to Eugene was one entitled, "Wha t Next - Fi ve- Year Projections" ,
headed by two forecasters. Some of the forecasts mentioned were: a near
zero population growth in the next five years, with an upswing after that;
a labor shortage in the next five years due to decreased population growth; Comm
continued nugrations to the west, south and coastal areas. Manager said 10/6/7'6
other projections were that auto ownership has almost reached per capita File
saturation - due to cost of autos, not gas prices. It was pointed out too
that women .in the work force are aggravating the problem of the need for
automobiles. That situation is also keeping retail centers open on Sundays.
Manager related the projection that zoning and planning effectiveness would
decrease, that there would be less intensive fire and police services and an
increase in neighborhood emphasis as well as attempts at megalopolis planning.
The crime rates are projected to increase until about the middle 1980s but
decline after that because of the tapering off of the number of young people.
The housing shortages are projected to continue, with a trend toward more
pre-fabs and mobile homes. The Manager said he was told that Oregon's
no-growth advertisements probably did more to attract people than any other
single thing. He said that, even though unemployment is high here, there is e
a building boom and it could be due to people coming here from large cities -
where single-family housing is scarce and high cost.
