B. Bikeway Master Plan
Recommended by Planning Commission February 7, 1977
Manager said the Bikeway Master Plan would be reviewed annually.
This was the 1976 annual review, and there were three changes
noted. Ms. Diane Bishop, Bike Coordinator, reviewed the three
changes: 1) a path along Harlow Road to Sunshine Acres to Dapple
Way to Sorrel Way and then back along 1-105; 2) addition of a bikeway
from Laurel Hill Valley to Eugene; and 3) addition of a bikeway on
30th Avenue from Hilyard to Agate.
Public hearing was opened.
Marna Brockhoff, 1844 Kona, said the Fairmount Neighbors group was
in full endorsement of the bike path, not only for bicycle use, but
for joggers. She said HCC funds had been requested earlier in the fall
but were not allowed, as widening of Summit Drive was a problem. She
questioned how this bike path would affect widening of the street and
said she was totally in favor of the proposed changes and hoped Council
would approve.
Public hearing was closed, there being no further testimony
presented.

Res. No. 2650--1976 Annual Review and amendment re: Eugene Master
Bikeway Plan was read by number and title.
.
Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, to adopt the resolution.
Mr. Lieuallen noted confusion regarding the Summit Drive amended
bikeway plan in regard to the street improvement, asking how it
would be resolved. Don Allen, Director of Public Works, said
it would be brought before the City Council and asked for a deter-
mination for improvement of the street. If Council approved,
Public Works would incorporate the bike path within that street
improvement.
Rollcall vote was taken on the motion which carried unanimously.

C. Orchard and Walnut, Franklin and Fairmount: Change of traffic from
One-Way to Two-Way--Recommended by Planning Commission January 24, 1977
Manager said the street di recti on change had ori gi nated wi th
the neighborhood organization and property owners along the streets.
It had been unanimously recommended by the Planning Commission at
its January 24 meeting, and had been described in notes and maps
distributed to Council.
Darrell Wilburn, Acting Traffic Engineer, noted reasons for the
particular design and the change from one-way to two-way on these
streets. It had come as a result of many requests received
by the Traffic Division and by a request from the Fairmount Neighborhood .'.
group. A contact of the affected property owners in the area indi-
cated 55 percent were in favor of the change, and 27 percent opposed.
He noted City staff saw no valid objection, with more than half of
the property owners wanting the change, and recommended approval.
Public hearing was opened.
A written protest from Mr. and Mrs. O.J. Fogelquist, 1846 Orchard
Street was entered into the record. Tommy Williams, 2086 East 15th
Avenue, spoke as a representative of the neighborhood organization,
indicating that a letter had been mailed to the City Council with
70 signatures approving the change, and only two people opposing.
Public hearing was closed, there being no further testimony
presented.

D. Seneca Road Improvement--Recommended by Public Works Department
Manager said this was an important stretch of road in an industrial
area needing improvements, that Public Works Department had developed
a design and distributed that design with map to Council. Don Allen,
Director of Public Works, said the Council had in October 1975
authorized staff to proceed with initiating the improvements.
In March 1977 staff held a hearing with opportunity for the affected
parties to comment and ask questions on the preliminary proposal.
He noted City Council had taken a tour of the area. The improvement
is at Step 4, prior to final design, and Public Works was asking
Council for authorization to proceed with the final design. He
said Council had two alternatives: to stop the project, or to
authorize for final design, with another public hearing required
to award the contract.
-
He noted the paving of Seneca Road from West 11th to Roosevelt
Boulevard would provide a 44-foot roadway with curbs, bicycle lanes,
and travel lanes. An additional feature will be installation of
railroad crossing gates and flashers at the crossing of the Southern
Pacific Coos Bay line. Seneca was the only north-south arterial
between Highway 99 and Bertelsen. The project would provide a smoother,
wider surface for auto and truck traffic travelling to and from the
industrial area, as well as connecting West 11th with Roosevelt and
Highway 99. He noted the project will allow the road to be made safer
for both auto, truck traffic, and bicyclists. He said the total cost
of the project is estimated at $473,300 with the City paying $147,800
and the assessed share to property owners $325,500. He noted that
bancroft assessments with installment payments over a ten-year period
with a seven percent annual interest rate Were available, and a de-
ferred assessment program available for the low-income and elderly.
He noted at the recent staff hearing concerns had been expressed
regarding the need for bike lanes,and this area was on the Bike Master
Plan. Another concern expressed was regarding the east-west truck
route, and that problem had not been resolved at this point. He said
staff recommended the Council proceed with the project.
e
Mr. Obie asked with regard to the bike path whether there was another
way to handle them, citing a safety aspect of mixing the bikes on a
route with heavy truck traffic. Mr. Allen replied it was the standard
procedure in the Bikeway Master Plan to incorporate it with a travel
lane, and one purpose of establishing the 44-foot width of the street
would be for greater capability in maneuvering large trucks. He said
staff did not recommend a separate path be built as it would be an
added cost factor, and he felt the plan was satisfactory as presented.
Mr. Obie then asked Mr. Lieuallen, as a member of the Bicycle
Committee, whether he would agree with the philosophy of building
a bike path in a heavy industrial area. Mr. Lieuallen responded
that any kind of delineation for bicyclists was helpful, not only
to the bicyclists, but to motorists, in that it aided motorists
to know that it was a designated bicycle route. He said it was
best to do so in the streets to establish the legality of bike
paths to be in the streets with traffic.
Jf~
4/11/77--3
Public hearing was opened.
John Wheeler, 2725 Lincoln, representing Monsanto Company on
Seneca Boulevard, asked why there was a necessity for another
sanitary sewer as one was already there. Mr. Allen replied the
proposal would be for an additional hookup if the sanitary sewer
already existed in the area.
Bert Kleinhaus, representing Southern Pacific Transport Company,
questioned the need for bikeway paths on both sides of the street.
He also noted that six tax lots had been assessed to the S.P. Company
which were not owned by them. Mr. Allen replied the only difference
in having bikepaths on one or two sides of the road would be in the
type of curb used; there would be no cost difference. In regard to
the tax lot assessment problem, he said it would be taken care of.
Public hearing was closed, there being no further testimony
presented.

E. Cal Young/Willagillespie Road Improvement--Recommend by Public Works
Don Allen, Director of Public Works, explained this improvement
project had been initiated by the Eugene City Council in October
1975. He noted the paving of Cal Young from Gilham to Willa-
gillespie, and from Willagillespie Road to Cal Young to Delta
Highway would provide a 36- to 46-foot roadway with curbs, bicycle
lanes, sidewalks, travel lanes, and in some locations, a two-way
center turn lane. Both Cal Young and Willagillespie are
important arterial streets in the Willakenzie area. He said a
staff hearing was held March 3, 1977 with property owners to
describe the proposal and answer questions. The major concerns
of. those in attendance were as follows: 1) Property assessment--
the City's policy and assessment formula were explained and it
was mentioned that a committee of staff and Council is studying
a possible revision to the formula; 2) Need for extra right-of-
way--staff explained the appraisal and acquisition process, and
stated that where ever possible the roadway alignment will take
into account existing trees and locations of houses; 3) Roadway
designs and capacities--staff felt that even accounting for devel-
opment now underway and projected for the future, the proposed
width would be adequate. Volumes were expected to be lower west
of Spy Glass and on Willagil1espie, therefore narrower roadway
without the center turn lane was proposed whereby many of the
existing trees could be saved and remain in a parking strip between
curb and sidewalk. He noted the county would participate under
its arterial highway program by purchasing any required right-of-way
~8'tf
4/11/77--5
and sharing in the construction costs. He said the total cost
would be $649,200, with $349,000 assessed to abutting property
owners, $49,500 city costs, and $250,700 Lane County costs. He
said the action requested by Council was for authorization to
proceed with the final design so that plan preparation and right-
of-way acquisition could begin.
.
Mr. Obie questioned whether the concerns expressed by those mosty
directly affected would be addressed before final design. Mr. Allen
said yes, the project would not begin before late fall or early
next spring although no more public hearings were scheduled.
Ms. Smith said she understood there woiuld be no parking on the
streets and asked if parking was currently available. Mr. Allen
replied that that was one of the problems with the affected property
owners, noting that there would be no parking allowed along the
street, although there are a few gravel parking strips in the area
to date.
Public hearing was opened.
O.W. Russell, 1525 Cal Young Road, noted that the County had indi-
cated to him that they could provide a better plan for the improve-
ment of the street than the City. He expressed a concern for
parking in front of the houses, noting that it would be impossible
with the City's proposed improvement. He also cited that the people
in the area had been assessed for sewers in 1975 and the road im-
provement would increase their costs a great deal. He said 100 ...
percent of the property owners are opposed to the proposed improve- .,
ment and again cited the County could give them a better improvement
than the City. He said the property owners would like to have a
meeting with the Lane County Commissioners to work ~ut a plan by
the County and to have the project federally funded. A petition
and letter was presented to the Council on behalf of the property
owners requesting the County handle road improvements.
John Gilhott, 1376 Cal Young, asked when the improvement had first
been proposed. Mr. Allen replied, October 27, 1975. Mr. Gilhott
then replied he should have been informed of the proposed change
at the time. He said the area is a raceway even though the road
is very narrow and widening it would increase the speed of auto-
mobiles in the area. He felt it would be better to have only one
bike path and one sidewalk on one side of the street and leave a
wider road. He also requested the Council look into license fees

.
Bruce Robbins, 1071 Cal Young Road, said he was very much against
the proposed improvement, citing there would be no parking, that
the width of the street would cut too closely to his house,
that Cal Young Road is a major arterial used by everyone and it
was unfair for property owners to assume over 50 percent of the
costs when the benefits apply to many people in the City of Eugene.
He felt it a very unfair improvement policy.
A show of hands was requested by Fred Eversaw, 1133 Cal Young
Road, in which about 40 to 50 persons in the audience indicated
opposition to the improvement project.
--
Public hearing was closed, there being no further testimony presented.
Mr. Allen replied to the suggestion the County do the improvement
project, saying the City was working with the County, and such a
County improvement proposal had never been advanced to the City staff
with regard to federal funding or the County wanting to do the
improvement project itself. In response to the testimony regarding
L-COG, Mr. Allen replied that it was not an implementing agency and
did not have funds to give out.
C.B. 1435--Paving Cal Young Road from Gilham to Willagillespie Road,
and Willagillespie Road from Cal Young to Delta Highway
was read by council bill number and title only, there being
no Council member present requesting that it be read in full.
Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, that council bill 1435
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.
C.B. 1436--Adopting plans and specifications for paving Cal Young
Road from Gilham to Willagillespie Road, and Willagillespie
Road from Cal Young to Delta Highway was read by council
bill number and title only, there being no Council member
present requesting that it be read in full.
Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, that council bill 1436
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.

Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, that council bill 1437

Mr. Lieuallen expressed reservations about the width of the street
and the acquisition of right-of-way in this particular improvement 4It
project. Mr. Haws said that he had reservations every time a
street improvement was brought before the Council because of the
necessity to assess property owners. He said obviously this street
needed improvement, and there was a process the Council had to go
through. He said the same problem occurred for all property owners
who faced street improvements, that street improvements affect most
everybody in the city at one time or another. The decision had to
be made to either improve or not improve these streets.
Mr. Obie noted that it was a difficult choice to determine when
the situation was a concern to a particular neighborhood. He said
there seemed to be accordance in the testimony that the street
needed to be improved, but it was a matter of how it was improved.
.iiHe felt the City did not have a good system for determining which
'streets are arterials and which are neighborhood streets, and that
it ,was important that people be assessed only for improvements to
normal neighborhood streets rather than arterial streets. Mr. Allen
replied that both streets are considered to be arterial streets,
and that the assessment used to be a charge to the equivalent of
a 36-foot street for residential, but now the charge was to a 28-
foot street and the difference between the costs would be picked up
between the City and County.
Mr. Delay said it seemed there was a definite safety problem in
the area and that something had to be done, and wondered if it were ...
possible to make adjustments in the design, if necessary. Mr. Allen ~
replied he would be glad to talk over the design with the Lane
County officials and check out any other proposals that they might
have. Mr. Haws noted that the people should be aware of the deferred
assessment policy for persons in the low-income bracket. Mr. Hamel
questioned whether it was appropriate to hold the decision to the
next meeting while Mr. Allen and Public Works get together with
Lane County to check out the possibility of other proposals. Mr.
Allen replied that the proposal would not be going under contract
until fall, and the only time crunch was getting rights-of-way, which
could be a lengthy process. Mayor Keller noted that Council could
instruct staff to proceed with those concerns that had been expressed,
but that Public Works needed to get the process underway to avoid
the escalation of costs.
Motions on council bills 1435, 1436, and 1437 carried unani-
mously and the bills were read the second time by council
bill numbers only.
Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, that council bill 1435

Council members present voting aye, the bill was declared passed

1-8-2 F. Annexations
1. Located along Skyline Drive, east of Barber Drive (Legault)
(A 76-19)--Recommended by Planning Commission February 21, 1977.
Jim Saul, Planning Department, noted these were two parcels
of land consisting of .84 acre, and that a number of annexations
had been approved along Skyline Loop Drive prior to this time.
He said the general area was annexed in 1974 with the Skyline
Loop health hazard annexation. A full range of urban services
were available and could be extended to the area. He noted a soil
analysis study had been made and the report showed that the
western lot is stable. The eastern lot has sufficient area to
site a single-family structure if proper control is exercised
in siting an excavation. He noted the owner of Tax Lot 3100 was
unwilling to petition for annexation at this time, and that if
the subject properties were annexed, Tax Lot 3100 would become
an island surrounded by the city, and then could be annexed by
action initiated either by the Planning Commission or.by the City
Council under the island annexation regulations.
Mr. Lieuallen asked if Tax Lot 3100 were surrounded by the city,
to what extent it would receive City services that it would not
be assessed for; for example, streets. Mr. Saul replied that
Skyline is a marginal gravelway and would need some form of im-
provement. Mr. Lieuallen asked if recommendation ought to include
all three lots if Tax Lot 3100 would essentially be in the city
and be served by City services. Mr. Saul replied that Tax Lot
3100 is presently vacant.
Public hearing was held with no testimony presented.
Res. No. 2652--Forwarding to Boundary Commission recommendation for
annexation of property located along Skyline Drive
east of Barber Drive was read by number and title.
Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, to adopt the resolution.
Rollcall vote. Motion carried unanimously.

2. Located south of Judkins Road, west of Henderson Street (Booth/Fisher)
(A 77-1)--Recommended by Planning Commission February 21, 1977
Mr. Saul noted the property consists of two parcels totalling
approximately one acre. He said it was surrounded by the city
limits on three sides, and was in the projected urban service
boundary area, and that all urban services could be provided.
He noted Council should take consideration of the question
between Eugene and Springfield regarding the destiny of the
entire Glenwood area.
e
Mr. Hamel noted he would be abstaining from voting and discussion
on the issue.

members present voting aye, and Mr. Hamel abstaining.
G. Appeal of Denial of Commercial Solicitor's License (Jeffrey Park Stompro)
Manager noted that the denial of appeal was requested by Jeffrey Park
Stompro. He said the application had been reviewed by the Police
Department and found the applicant had failed to supply necessary
information, which constituted grounds for denial of the license. He
said Council had not been sent additional information because of the
concern of the civil rights and liability exposure.
Public hearing was opened.
Jeffrey Stompro noted he had applied for a license to sell fire ~
extinguishers in the community. He had a past criminal history and
had asked for the Police Department to check with the officials in
California as he could not remember all the arrests in that state. He
had been told the license would be approved and then the next day some
other charges came in and he found the license had been denied. He
had asked to speak to the Chief of Police and was never given that
opportuni ty. He di d not deny hi s .pas t crimi na 1 record whi ch occurred
between 1973 and 1975. He noted to Council that while he was in the
rehabilitation center in California he had fought forest fires, was
accepted in a fire fighters' school, spent six months under the
California State Department of Education in an extensive course,
had a certificate of achievement as a certified fire pump fighter and
pumper operator, and had completed over 1,000 hours in the course. He
noted his record had occurred seven years prior, and ever since he had
been out he had only one charge, that being a D.U.I.L. He felt he
would like to become a productive citizen and had been part of the
rnmmunity ~inrn lQ71;, lip ~Idrl hp hnrl hppn workina h"rr1 to support
himself and felt he tliidlJeen denled ri l.o""nen,ial 11Ll'!n~l-! on ttle ha~l~
of his past record seven years ago, that he was a different person ~nd
questioned what rehabilitation was all about. He noted his insurance
company was prepared to post bond for him, that he wllsqul:Il1f1ed toY'
the work, felt he was being denied by prejudice and discrimination,
and appealed to Council to allow him to obtain the license.

Alice Lunsford, 1505 River Road, said she had known the applicant
for two and one-half years and that he had been working very hard
to rehabilitate himself and going to school. She noted he was a
personal friend of hers and that vocational rehabilitation would go
for naught if he was not given the opportunity to rehabilitate himself.
Diane DePaolis, 1309 Willamette Street, spoke as an attorney from
the Lane County Legal Aid Service in regard to the concept of rehabili-
tation. She said if it were to mean anything, then people should be
given the second chance to prove their rehabilitation to society. She
said Mr. Stompro was not denying his past record and that his life
since his last arrest had been an entirely different one. She noted
he was 28 years old now, and had been much younger when he had gotten
into trouble. She asked whether he would be able to continue the
pattern of changing, working, and trying to succeed to become a
productive citizen of society. She felt he had grown a great deal
and should be given a second chance. She hoped that the City Council
would give thought to the fact that he had been convicted and had
served his time, he had rehabilitated himself, and what society was
all about is giving a person a second chance.
Sergeant Mel Olson, Eugene Police Department, said that the applicant
had filed his application March 9, 1977, and that upon review of
the application, he had contacted Mr. Stompro for further explanation
of the work he intended to do. He noted the business would be a
door-to-door business of entering homes and soliciting for sales
of fire extinguishers. The applicant had listed three arrests, but a
background check had listed other information: that he had been
arrested nine times for 15 charges. He said Mr. Stompro had come in,
discussed the matter concerning the 15 charges, and completed the
endorsement of them. At that time, he was asked if there were any
additional arrests, to which Mr. Stompro had replied no. Mr. Olson
said he had advised Mr. Stompro he could see no problem with the
license application on March 14, but on March 15 additional infor-
mation had been received from California of a record of nine addi-
tional arrests. He said Mr. Stompro had failed to supply the addi-
tional information and had made no attempt to disclose the information.
Under City Code, failure to disclose information was grounds for
denial of a license. He felt that the proposed activity of door-to-
door soliciting would be somewhat incompatible with the applicant's
background and would not be in the best interests of the community's
citizens.
e
Wilbur Thorp, 275 North Polk, noted that he had known Mr. Stompro
for three years, Mr. Stompro had proved himself as a good friend
and neighbor. and did not feel that his past should be held against
him.
Mr. James M. Dufour, 1139 Summit Drive, Mt. Hood, Oregon, said
he had worked with Mr. Stompro and found him to be a very reliable
worker and a good person, and should not be denied the license.

Joy Lunsford, 14 West Hilliard, said she had gone to school with
Mr. Stompro. She noted Pat Horton's plan to get juveniles off
the street and rehabilitate them, and said that Mr. Stompro might
still be on the streets if he had not had the chance for rehabili-
tation for himself outside of the prison. She noted that he was
a good person.
Public hearing was closed, there being no further testimony presented.
.
Mr. Haws asked Mr. Olson if the determining factor for denial was
the additional information of nine arrests received March 15. Mr.
Olson said that was correct, that under Section 3.005 of the City
Code, failure to disclose information could be grounds for denial.
Mr. Haws wondered why it took so long to get the information. Mr.
Olson replied that it took three to five days by mail for the infor-
, mation to be received. Mr. Olsen noted that the arrests were for a
period of 1968 through 1970 and that there had been 14 convictions
out of 18 total arrests on 20 charges, but that none of the convictions
were as a juvenile. Mr. Obie asked Mr. Olson about the fact that Mr.
Stompro had requested the Police Department to secure additional
information. Mr. Olson indicated that Mr. Stompro had not taken
the initiative, but he himself had taken the initiative to get the
additional information.
Mr. Lieua11en wondered if it was fair to say that Mr. Stompro had not
acted in good faith after he had been offered a second opportunity
to offer the information. Mr. Olson replied that was a value judgment ~
and that of the information supplied by Mr. Stompro, only two arrests ,.,
had been entered of his own accord. He said it would seem that after
Mr. Stompro had been asked several times for additional information
and he had replied no, that he was not being forthright after being
given the opportunity to add the additional information.
Mr. Stompro was given an opportunity to reply. He said that when
he talked to Mr. Olson, there were 29 arrests listed, and he thought
that the Police Department had the whole file and he was not inten-
tionally holding back any information. He said to the best of his
knowledge, the Police Department had all the information and he
expected it was a complete record. He did not try to deny any of
the charges and was acting in good faith.
Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, to deny the appeal of
a commercial solicitor's license.
Mr. Lieuallen indicated that there seemed to be two issues involved
here: 1) to simply decide what was the policy of an application not
being filled out correctly and whether a Code had been violated; and
2) what happened to people who had been convicted with regard
to the community's best interest, whether there were statistics
showing that these persons were careful not to get arrested dg41n.
Manager said it would take some time to get an answer. Mr. Lieuallen
said if it were merely speculative, then he was ready to support
the appeal. He questioned whether. there was a time limit in re- 4IIl. .
submitting an application. Manager replied there was no time limit, ~
and that previously it had been done within a few months' time.

Mr. Bradley said that a conclusion could be made that Mr. Stompro
did not act in bad faith, as on March 14 he had thought the Eugene
Police Department had all of the available information on him.
He had also asked the Police Department to get the files and
he noted the length of time involved. Mr. Bradley felt that
the applicant did carry out the spirit of the Code by making
the disclosure and he was not acting in bad faith.
Mr. Delay reminded the City Council that testimony from the
American Bar Association had borne out the fact that the precise
question of past criminal record created a double bind for persons.
He said he did not like the nature of the decision before the
Council, and would feel comfortable for having a real reason
for why a person should not get a license, rather than using
a loophole. Mayor Keller responded that the reason was that
there were rules and regulations which apply to all persons in
requesting applications for licenses. He noted the Council
should change the procedures if it did not like the process. He
noted also that it would appear to be difficult to forget eight
or nine arrests if he realized that information had to be submitted
with an application. He also said the Eugene Police Department's
responsibility did not cover the area of supplying past records
for an applicant, but most importantly, there was an obligation
to protect the citizens of Eugene.
e
Vote was taken on the motion, which passed with Haws, Hamel,
Obie, and Smith voting aye; Delay, Williams, Bradley, and
Lieuallen voting no; and Mayor Keller voting aye to break the
tie.
Ms. Lunsford requested Council explain its reason for denial:
whether it was making a social judgment, not certain that the
applicant should be in that particular business, or whether he
had acted in bad faith. Mayor Kellor responded that each City
Council member could be asked as to why he or she voted as he or
she did. Stan Long, City Attorney, noted that the City Council
is not required to give reasons for denial.
Mr. Obie replied his reasons for voting for denial were that 1)
the applicant had plenty of opportunity available to supply the
information and 2) the information had not been provided. He felt
it was not the responsibility of the City to provide that information.
Mr. Bradley reminded Council that in another appeal almost identi-
cal, the Council had granted the appeal on rehabilitation grounds
and that it was now denying. He said it was only fair for each member
to give his reasons for voting for the denial. Mayor Keller said
each member could if he so desired. Mr. Hamel indicated he voted
for the denial for the same reasons given by Mr. Obie. No other
Councilors responded.

:'1. Items from Mayor and Council
A. Request for publicly-owned golf course--Mr. Hamel requested
city staff inquire about the possibility of a publicly-owned
golf course, citing the problems of young people, especially
high school teams in the area, having those facilities avail-
able to them. Manager said consideration had been made for
acquiring more land at Laurelwood Golf Course which might make
it possible to expand to 18 holes. Mr. Hamel said that golf
course was too hilly, and wondered if other areas in the com-
munity, for instance, Good Pasture Island, could be considered.
FA Smith, Parks and Recreation Department, noted that his
department had been doing some research on additional publicly-
owned golf courses. He said that, at present, there was some
research indicating the community could support 36 holes of
public golf.
e
Mr. Bradley arrived.
MS. Smith asked with regard to the plan to put a golf course
.in Alton Baker Park. Mr. Smith replied that the land had been
allocated for nine holes, and later had been changed to 18
executive type. He noted the additional land had been devel-
oped and it was felt not economical or practical to put in
just nine holes. Mr. Obie noted that it might be possible
to consider putting such a golf course in the Bethel-Danebo
area as there are very few recreational facilities in that
part of town. Mr. Haws said he would like to consider the
economic priorities, noting he would prefer 36 policemen to
be hired over putting in 36 holes of golf iri the area.
~1anager was instructed to keep the Council .informed of
future developments of such a golf course.
B. Commission on Handicapped--Resignation of Mike Helm-~anager was
asked to check for alternates and see which other persons were
interviewed for the Handicapped Commission.
.
C. Department of Transportation Decertification Letter--Status Report--
Manager noted this was an informational item only, as there was hot
enough material yet for any decisions to be made.
;tq3
4/11/77 - 14
.
Mr. Bill Guenzler noted there were several concerns regard-
ing this decertification information. He said federal require-
ments state that the metropolitan area needs a planning process
dealing with certain elements to receive funding. He also
noted that $700,000 per year are involved, that the funds
would accrue up to two years, but would not be lost if a plan
were adopted prior to the expiration of those two years; that
$600,000 accrues to a transit district which operates a bus
system; and the state would not fund any project which is
federally funded. He said, in specifics, for the city it
could affect the following projects: 1) the 30th and Hilyard
intersection widening, although he had been officially told
it would not be affected as it would have reached a sufficiently
advanced state of development; and 2) the Valley River Bike
Bridge would, in his opinion, not be affected; but that the
transit operational assistance would.
e
He said the reason for the decertification was that federal
regulations require that by June 30 a transportation systems
management element be produced, which meant a list of projects
and appropriations that could be made. For an unconditional
certification, a metropolitan area would need a long-range
plan and transportation systems management element, a trans-
portation improvement program for three to five years. He
noted he felt it would be desirable for the metropolitan area
to make a single, consolidated response by all jurisdictions
to this decertification letter. He said the important thing
was that transportation assistance through the urban mass
transit could be withdrawn and the city could be faced in
some way with curtailing the existing transit system, either
by reducing the number of runs, or reducing manpower.
The alternatives, he noted, were as follows: 1) the metro-
politan area could develop a transportation system management
element immediately to get conditional certification in some
way; 2) it could develop plans and accept some period of de-
certification; or 3) it could challenge the certification.
He noted the two major issues to be considered were: 1) the
loss in transportation system has to be analyzed; and 2) that
the Springfield City Council has recently changed its transit
goals, although technical preparation has been ongoing for
quite some time. The Council would have to determine whether
it wanted to go along with the different transit goal or con-
tinue ahead with the technical preparations that had been
neve10ped to date.
e
Mr. Guenzler noted that Friday, April 1, the Metropolitan Area
TranRportation C~mmittee would be meeting to consider alter-
nntlves and ~ive advice on the various issues involved. He
said perhaps a report of that meeting could be received by
Cornmittee-of-the-Whole meeting, April 6. He noted again that
he hoped the metropolitan area (Eugene, Lane County, and
~9~

Springfield) would express a collective approach. John Porter,
Planning Department, said more time was needed to find out a
better course of action and that the report from the policy
committee meeting would help in this understanding.
.
It was understood that more information will be presented
to Council at Committee-of-the-Whole, April 6.
Scott Lieuallen arrived at the meeting.

Bikeramp Ceremony-~anager noted the ceremony would be held
April 6, 11 a.m., at Alton Baker Park. He asked any Council
members who wished to have bicycles provided to alert the
Manager's office.
Anti-fluoridation Petition-~anager noted the anti-fluori-
dation petition had been received Tuesday, March 29, with
6,498 authenticated signatures. He said the legal opinion
from the City Attorney's office had been distributed to
Council members and that it would be impossible to schedule
an election by Hay 24.
Mr. Long, City Attorney's office, noted that of the alterna-
tives presented to Council, many were very complex with legal
problems existing. He said the easiest thing to do would be
for Council to decide a date for the election and the City
Attorney's office would then prepare the necessary papers.
He said the city was free to call a special election on a
30-day notice, but was not required to do so.
"
Mr. Williams moved, seconded by Mr. Obie, to authorize
the papers for an election on the fluoride issue for
the May, 1978 general election.
Mr. Long noted that the law was unclear as to whether the
city could be compelled to place such a ballot in a special
election called for another purpose. He noted that if Council
would indicate a date for the election and authorize staff
to prepare the papers within a 30-day period, it would not
get into some very complicated legal problems regarding the
90-day filing date and the application of state regulations.
He noted that the City Council could pass a special ordinance
indicating that the election would be held on the first
election after a certain date, but not later than May, 1978.
The issue then would go on whatever ballot election occurred
h0tw~en that rlate and May, 1Q78.
Mr. Williams noted his reason for the motion was that a very
short time ago people in Eugene (approximately 70 percent)
voted to put fluor ide in the wAtp.r. H(' BAl rl t t t R known
that with special elections the average turnout is between 10
and 12 percent of the voting population. He felt it improper
to take p;enernl clectlon nction amI place it in 11 poaltf.on of
jeopardy where very few people vote. Mr. Delay said he was not
sure the City Council should try to make a decision on how many
-
~<t5
4/11/77 - 16
-
people will turn out for any election, especially with the possi-
bility of litigation over this particular issue. He felt that
the Council should put it on the ballot at the next election after
the 90-day period had expired, taking the lowest cost approach
for the city. Mr. Williams noted that Mr. Delay could take the
position that all elections are equal, but he felt it was an
inadequate position. Mr. abie said that otherwise the city would
face the possibility of another election following this one with
people who are not satisfied with the results. He said the greater
number of people voting would increase the likelihood that the
city would not have to face another vote on this issue. Mr.
Delay reiterated that the people had done everything that was
required for them to get the issue on another ballot, and with
the possibility of litigation, he felt the city should not take
those kinds of chances.
Mr. Long said the Attorney's office would be most comfortable if
the City Council would select a date that is not past the next
general election. He again reiterated the uncertainty of taking
no action could lead to the city being governed by state statutes
which are very unclear, and could result in legal problems.
A vote was taken on the motion which failed, with Haws, Williams,
abie, and Smith voting aye; and Hamel, Delay, Bradley, and
Lieuallen voting no.
-
Mr. Long noted that in order to act within the 30-day time period,
Council should designate a date for the election to be held, but
not later than May, 1978, so that action could be taken April 11,
and in the event a unanimous vote was not received, final reading
could be held April 2S to stay within the 30-day time frame.
Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, that the election,on
the fluoridation issue be set for June 28, 1977.
Mr. Lieuallen moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, to amend the motion
to state that the fluoridation issue would be placed on the
first election after June 28, and no later than May, 1978.
Vote was taken on the amendment to the motion, which carried,
with Smith, Ramel, Bradley, Lieuallen, and Delay voting aye;

Request by HCDC for approval of Standards and Guidelines for Implementing
HE 2342
(Memo and materials distributed to Council)
Mr. Jon Mills-Erickson, Planning Department, indicated this was a
request for a resolution approval by the City Council concerning
local property tax exemption for rehabilitating residential property.
For the implementation it has required concurrence of School Districts
4-J and 52. Mr. Mills-Erickson noted the administrative process
included eligibility of property for limited assessment, rehabili-
tation improvements, reasonable rent, compliance with City Housing
Code, and a period of limited assessment of five consecutive assess-
ment rolls. He said the process to be followed would be that certi-
fication would be applied for, the city would check the records, the
person would do the rehabilitation improvement with city approval,
and then would receive the tax exemption.
Mr. Delay asked what the estimated cost to the city would be for this
proposed change. Mr. Mills-Erickson explained that a $100 fee was
required with $60 of that to pay the city cost, and $40 to the County
e.

agenda.
Gilham Road Paving Project, Beltline to Crescent
(Report, map, and design distributed to Council)
Don Allen, Public Works Department, noted the staff hearings had
been held and the project was at the point now where the first
public hearing should be held with authorization from the City
Council to go to final design, and the second public hearing would
be held to award the contract. He noted this was a Council-initiated
project, and that the Council had toured the area. In referring
to discussion held at the March 28 Council meeting regarding peti-
tions for improvements, Mr. Allen said that the City does not have
to have any petition for any improvements which the Eugene City
Council desires.
Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Bradley, to schedule a public
hearing April 25, 1977. Motion carried unanimously.
Field Burning
Scott Lieuallen reported on the testimony he had given on the
hearings on the field burning bills at the State Legislature earlier
in the day. He noted there was some confusion over the past poli-
cies the city had taken, with the confusion arising out of whether
or not the machine field burning was a viable alternative and what
tools were available to measure pollution in the air. He noted
that the position he took was that the city supports the proposed
phase-down, the increase in fees for field burning acreage, and
the Field Sanitation C~mmittee as it is presently constituted.
He said the League of Women Voters had presented a very strong
testimony supporting the city's position. He noted that the
growers' bill could possibly be passed out of Committee, and the
future of the City's bill did not look too good. He said he had
been questioned regarding what the City of Eugene was doing to
try to avoid pollution in the air in Eugene and there will prob-
ably be pressure in the future to consider emission test legislation.
Other Matters
Manager noted the Legislative Subcommittee would be meeting Thursday,
March 31 at noon in the MCNutt Room; and the Room Tax Subcommittee
has scheduled a hearing for Wednesday, April 6 at 7:30 p.m. in the
Council Chambers.
Mr. Williams asked for City Attorney's opinions on clarifying a
conflict of interest in regard to the business affidavit report
which Council members have to submit.

Items from Mayor and Council
A. Fluoride Issue
Ms. Smith moved seconded by Mr. Haws to reconsider action
taken by Council March 30, 1977, on the fluoride issue.
Joyce Benjamin, City Attorney's office, noted that the item
could be reconsidered only one time. In addition, she said
that Council could set reconsideration for the April 11 Council
meeting. Mayor Keller indicated it was his opinion that if the
Council decided to reconsider and have testimony taken at this
time that only those people who are opposed would be abLe to,
testify. If it were done at the Monday night Council meeting
then both sides could present their testimony. Mr. Haws indi-
cated he did not want to hear more testimony because it would
be a repeat of what had already been heard. Ms. Smith said it
was her intention to set a date for the fluoride issue to be
put on the ballot.
-
Vote was taken on the motion which passed with all
members present voting aye except Mr. Bradley voting no.
Mayor Keller noted this would be the last item for considera-
tion on today's agenda.
B. Downtown Development Committee--Mr. Lieuallen reported progress
was being made, and he would have recommendations to bring back
for Council consideration at a future date.
C. Conflict of Interest Forms--Mr. Delay noted he did not under-
stand some of the questions on the form and asked for clarifi-
cation. Manager said a memo would be forthcoming from the
Attorney's office April 7 for clarification.

E. Executive Session--Manager noted the Executive Session to be
held at 1:30 p.m. following Committee-of-the-Whole meeting in
regard to park land acquisition matter. Council had received
memo and took a tour of the area.
F. ~andicapped Comm~ssi~--Manager noted there were two applicants
who had been interviewed by Council who could replace Mike Helm,
who resigned. Manager said one applicant, Collin Gray, did not
live within the city limits, leaving only one applicant, who had
been interviewed already, Rodney Bossart. There were six other
applicants, three of whom had indicated Handicapped Commission
as their first choice. Manager noted the Council could appoint
the one person already interviewed or set a meeting for interview-
ing the other applicants.
Ms. Smith moved, seconded by Mr. Obie to appoint Rodney
Bossart to the Handicapped Commission.
Mr. Williams wondered if it might be possible to leave the POS1-
tion vacant until the Council had a chance to look at the process
of appointment and make the appointment at that time, although he
had no objection to this appointment.
Vote was taken on the motion which carried unanimously.
G. Planning Commission Ap2licant Interviews--Manager noted that a
number of applications had been received, and the Council had
received a letter requesting a few days extra time for further
applications to be accepted. He said time was a critical factor
and cited the instance a pre~ous night's Planning Commission
meeting failing to start on time because of lack of quorum.
Mayor Keller felt that adequate time and notice had been given
for submission of applications and he hoped Council would decide
to proceed.
It was the concensus of the Council to meet 1:30 p.m.,
Wednesday, April 13, to consider applications and reduce
the number to finalists for interview. Staff would pro-
vide the applications to Council over the weekend.
H. Work Session of City Council--It was noted that Mr. Haws could
not make the May 14 session date which had been established, so
Friday, May 13 would be the next considered date.
I. Legislative Subcommittee Report--Manager noted that most of the
items had been considered or delayed but that one item, House
Bill 2433, had resulted in a split vote and it was necessary for
the Council to discuss and take a position, as the Minority
Commission was requesting authorization to testify in favor of
the bill.
~oo
4/11/77 - 21
Mr. Williams explained the two bills, HB 2432 and HB2433, which
had been considered by the Legislative Subcommittee. He noted
the Subcommittee had been unanimously in favor of HB 2432, which
would eliminate tax exemption for those organizations practicing
discrimination. However, Mr. Williams and Mr. Obie felt that on
HB 2433 there was a question of whether a club should be denied
a liquor license because of discrimination and that perhaps the
granting of a liquor license is something below a significant
State action which involves the 14th Amendment. It was felt
that an organization should be able to form a private club
and serve whomever it wanted.
.
Mr. Bradley did not agree that it was below the State standard
of significant action. He noted that in his opinion a signifi-
cant State action in granting a privilege occurs whenever the
State issues a license and therefore the State is involved.
Mr. Delay noted he supported HB 2433, saying that clubs should
be able to organize in any way they so desired. However, if
a State liquor license was involved he felt clubs should not
d iscr iminate.
Mr. Obie said that at some point the government entity has to
give a permit for something along the way, whether it be for a
building permit or liquor license. He felt it was not the
liquor license, but the right to form or not form a club which
was the issue, and a club should be able to form in any way
desired. Mr. Delay did not agree, saying a liquor license was
primarily given to different organizations and therefore was a
legitimate concern to address discrimination in any form.
.
Mr. Williams said he felt the issue was to determine what is
significant State activity. He cited a case in which the
pennsylvania Supreme Court had stated very clearly that liquor
licenses were in the category of State actions which fell below
the standards meeting the 14th Amendment.
Mr. Lieuallen raised the question about public establishments
discriminating and if they were subject to losing their licenses.
Mayor Keller questioned who removed the liquor licenses or as-
sessed fines. Manager noted that the person would file a com-
plaint with OLCC and they would act accordingly. Ms. Benjamin
said there had been cases in court involving public restaurants
which had discriminated.
Mr. Bradley felt there was a philosophical question involved
in making the decision whether it was right or wrong, that the
CounciL could not compare Oregon to Pennsylvania, as Oregon is
known to have very strict laws governing liquor licenses.
Mr Bradley moved seconded by Mr. Delay to support HB 2433.
Motion failed with Delay, Bradley, Smith, and Haws voting
aye, Obie, Williams, Hamel,and Lieuallen voting no and
Mayor Keller voting no to break the tie.

Mr. Bradley questioned Senate Bill 411 regarding the closure
of liquor establishments from 2:30 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. Captain
Pat Larion, Police Department, said the Department felt it was
in the community's best interest to have that closure time to
allow people who were inebriated to go home and sober up, and
to allow the establishment to clean up and start another day.
He noted that policing problems increased if the establishments
were allowed to remain open all night and the Police Department
was not in favor of the bill.
Mr. Bradley indicated he would rather see the bars open all
night as opposed to seeing the drunk people getting out and
driving on the road. Mr. Williams asked Mr. Bradley if he
had evidence to support that position as valid. Mr. Bradley
asked if the Police Department had evidence regarding in-
creases in drunk driving arrests and accidents in the early
morning hours. Captain Larion noted that the main concern
would be from 2:30 a.m. until about 4 a.m., but if the hours
were extended the Police Department would have to be concerned
all day and all night. He noted that the people were going to
have to leave at some point during the day or night to return
home and the Police Department felt it would rather have those
hours confined and therefore was in opposition to the bill.
Mr. Hamel moved seconded by Mr. Haws to accept the
report of the Legislative Subcommittee. Motion
carried unanimously.
Mr. Bradley requested segregation of Item B-1-i.--Legislative Subcommittee
report, March 31, 1977, regarding SB2433, denying a liquor license
to an establishment that practices discrimination.
Mr. Bradley moved, seconded by Mr. Haws, to support HB2433.
Motion carried with Haws, Smith, Delay, Lieuallen, and Bradley
voting aye; Obie, Williams, and Hamel voting no.
J.
Federal Decertification of Metro Area--Manager noted this was
a follow-up item and that Council had received a memo and letter
regarding the plan of action requesting conditional certification.
He said the main purpose of the letter was to alert the federal
government to the action being planned by the community and to
hope that the federal government would reply if they had any
objections to that plan of action.
Mr. Bradley requested clarification as to the role of the City
Council in regard to the Area Transportation Committee, L-COG's
role, and MATC in the formulation of process and proce-
dures. He questioned how MATC members were appointed and how
much policy they were allowed to prepare. Mr. John Porter,
Planning Department, replied that MATC was established by the
L-COG Board, with established positions rather than individuals.

Manager noted that there is some consideration being given at
this time for MATC to be differently structured, with the sug-
gestion that MATC itself should include one elected representa-
tive from each governing body in addition to the administrative
officer. Mr. Bradley again reiterated his concern about the
process and where the Eugene City Council fits in, what role
it plays in regard to the decisions and the processes in
attaining recertification.
.
It was understood that staff would respond to Mr.
Bradley's questions and concerns.
Liquor Licenses
A. Locker Room Tavern, 211 Washington Street (RMB, change of owner-
ship) Howard H. Keller
B. O'Callahan's Restaurant, Inc., 440 Coburg Road (DA, change of
ownership) David H. Swartout
Mr. Haws moved seconded by Mr. Hamel to approve the
liquor licenses for Locker Room Tavern and O'Callahan's
Restaurant, Inc. Motion carried unanimously.
III. Denial of Commercial Solicitor's License (Jeffrey Park Stompo)
Mr. Haws moved seconded by Mr. Hamel to schedule public
hearing April 11, 1977. Motion carried with all members
present voting aye except Mr. Obie voting no.
IV. Request to exercise option at 510 River Avenue at treatment plant
site
.
Don Allen, Public Works Department, noted that the Council had
taken no tour of the area but he had prepared photos which were
passed among Council members. He said the City had attempted to buy
the property for many years and now the property was on the market,
the city surrounded the property on three sides, it would be appro-
priate to buy the property on the open market and therefore staff
was not recommending condemnation procedures. He noted the asking
price was high but reasonable considering the open-market value. He
said the best use of the property would be industrial, although it
was not so zoned at this time. He said a 30-day option for $19,000
had been signed and there would be an opportunity for the City to
recoup some of the expenses in regard to the development of the
metro-sewer area.
Mr. Haws moved seconded by Mr. Hamel that the City ex-
ercise the option in purchase of the property. Motion
carried unanimously.
V. Fluoride Issue--Ms. Smith noted two major concerns: 1) there was
a need to do everything possible to get the City and school budgets
passed June 28, and felt there could be a negative vote on the City
budget if the fluoride issue were not put on that ballot; and 2) a
concern for an obligation to the citizens who had worked so hard
to petition that this issue be put on a ballot.
-
Ms. Smith moved seconded by Mr. Hamel to put the fluoride
issue on the ballot June 28.
303
4/11/77 - 24
.
Mr. abie noted that he had several conversations with people
in the community and that if the ballot were not held on that
date there was talk of working toward defeat of the City budget
and boycotting of William's bread. He noted he would support
putting the issue on that ballot if those people would work on
behalf of passing the budgets.
Mr. Bradley was concerned, feeling that the City Council was
being blackmailed. He said it should not be making decisions
based on threats to the Council and that the Council does not
know what other people who voted for fluoride in the water
might do. He felt that the Council was making decisions based
on what certain groups were saying and not on the substantive
issues before the Council. He said the Council was assuming
things which might not be true and recommended that the issue
be put on a ballot after the June 28 election or in the general
election, May 1978.
Mr. Hamel said he had talked to many people regarding the fluo-
ride issue. He said the City Council had told people how to get
the issue back on the ballot and they had worked to do so. It
was his feeling that if a group of people were interested in
an issue on the ballot then perhaps there would be a better
turnout for the June 28 election.
e
Mr. Delay said that he did not agree that the City Council was
being blackmailed, but that it had a legitimate petition before
it and should simply put it on the ballot.
Mr. Haws moved seconded by Mr. abie to amend the motion to
read: "And regardless of the outcome of the election it
will be placed back on the general election ballot in May,
1978."
Mr. Haws noted the reason for his amendment was to satisfy both
philosphies, the one being for an immediate vote on the fluoride
issue, and the second being the concern for having the issue on
a general ballot with more people voting then.
Mr. Bradley noted he would rather see the City spend money on
setting a special election for this one issue and separate it
from the budget elections to avoid confusion. Ms. Smith strong
ly opposed this position, noting that the Council had a respon-
sibility to all taxpayers and the cost of the election should
be shared.
e
Mr. abie said he was very much in favor of the amendment, feel-
ing it was a very serious and fair motion. He reiterated Mr.
Williams' concerns about the issue being decided at a general
election at which a large turnout (70 percent) voted, as opposed
to having the issue voted upon in a special election where a
much smaller turnout would be voting. He felt the amendment
was the best alternative, as it would give an opportunity for
all people interested in this issue to vote in a fair way.
Vote was taken on the amendment which did not carry
with Bradley, Haws, and abie voting aye; Hamel, Smith,
Williams, Lieuallen, and Delay voting no.

Mr. Bradley made a substitute motion to reschedule the
flu~ride.issue election for the May, 1978 ballot.
Mot10n d1ed for lack of a second.
.
Mr. Obie questioned whether there wasn't a State election
.:oming prior to the June 28 local election and whether the
1ssue could be placed on that ballot. Manager noted there
~as.a.State election on May 17 and he had checked with County
off1c1~ls, who have reported that there was serious doubt if a
~ocal 1ssue could be added, as State statutes might prohibit
1t.
Mr: Haws reque~ted staff to look into information, he had re-
ce1ved concern1ng cloud seeding with fluoride. Manager noted
that the Governor had lost that battle.
Vote was taken on the motion which passed with all
members voting aye, except Mr. Bradley voting no.
Item B.5.--Fluoride issue--Council approved putting on June 28 ballot.
PUb,lic testimony was taken on the issue.
Richard Greene, 1651 Grant Street said he supported the Council's action
to allow voters to vote early, as he felt this was a very important and
urgent issue.
Stephen Brown, 195 East 49th Street, noted that he was a fluoride proponent,
and felt the Council was being blackmailed by a small, vociferous group.
He said that in the past general election, 20,455 people had voted in favor
of fluoride to 19,394 against. He said in the last special elections held,
there had been no more than 20,000 votes cast. He felt the issue being placed
on a special election would, in effect, disenfranchise the 20,000 people
who voted for fluoride. He recognized the legal obligation of the Council
to put it on the ballot, but felt it should be placed on the general election
ballot in May 1978.
-
R. J. Martens, 1457 East 22nd Avenue, thanked the Council for the position
it had taken last week. In regard to the blackmail issue, he felt the
new,s medi a had impl i ed there was a group organi zed to defeat the Ci ty
budget. Me had never, in any group discussions with which he had been
involved, seen any organized movement to that end. He felt city services
were required and he was going to support the budget.
Jeanne Fox, 60 Fairway Loop, spoke as a local dental hygienist. She noted
that in an L-COG dental task force report, the No.2 priority had been
given to dental health, with fluoride placed in the water supply to meet
that need. She was in favor of putting the issue on a general election
ballot where more people would be able to vote for the health measure.
Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Ubi e. to p I ace U\t:! n uor-l dt!
issue on a ballot June 28, 1977, and regardless of the outcome,
place the issue on the November 1978 ballot.
Mr. Bradley moved to amend the motion to put the issue on the .
general election ballot of May 197R. Oiscussion followed in which the /
amendment was ruled out of order. A substitute motion was not
lallowable. Mr. Haws and Mr. Obie withdrew their motion.

Bradley, and Smith voting yes; Lieuallen, Hamel, Williams,

tie. Mayor Keller noted the reason for his vote was to give
both sides an opportunity to vote on the issue.
Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, that items A, B, and C
be affirmed and filed as amended. Roll call vote. Motion
carried unanimously.

Before action was taken on C.B. 1455--ordering special election June 28,
1977 regarding prohibiting fluoride in the public water, Mr. Long ex-
plained that as a result of the action taken earlier in the evening on
the fluoride issue, the Council had three options open to it: 1) it
could delay to April 25 an ordinance providing for both elections to
take place with the understanding that if the ordinances did not pass,
Council would be encountering the problem of 30 day time limit for
response to'the petition; 2) pass this particular ordinance and hav~/
the second ordinance calling for the second election with a second set of
hearings included; 3) the special Council meeting to be held April 13
could include the special ordinance on the agenda at that time. In
discussion which followed, Mr. Obie and Ms. Smith indicated they were in
favor of voting and affirming the June 28 election at this time and
consider a separate ordinance for the November 1978 election. Mr. Long
suggested that the easiest course of action would be to take action on
the ordinance for the June 28 election at this time and take action on
another ordinance calling the 1978 election at another tim~. Mr. Williams
said in regard to the dual elections scheme, he was not opposed to voting
in November, but wondered what was gained by scheduling two elections at
this time. He felt it was a trial run and it might irritate the anti-
fluoride people.
C.B. 1455--0rdering special election June 28, 1977, re: prohibiting
fluoride in public water was read by council bill number
and title only, there being no Council member present re-
questing that it be read in full.
Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, that C.B. 1455 be read
the second time by council bill number only with unanimous
consent of the Council, and that enactment be considered
at this time.

meeting Wednesday, April 13, 1977. Motion to table was defeated

Bradley, and Hamel voting aye.

the same as the previous motion which had failed.
Vote was taken on the original motion as stated, which carried
with all Council members present voting aye, except Mr. Bradley
voting no. Lacking unanimous consent, the council bill will be
:j' held for second reading at the April 25 Council meetin!:j.
It was understood that staff would prepare a resolution and
ordinance calling for the second election November 1978 ready
for Council action at its special Council meeting April 13, 1977.
