Previously discussed in Committee-of-the-Whole May 11 (Present: Mayor Keller; Councilors Haws, Hamel, Williams, Delay, Lieuallen, Obie, and Smith) and May 18, 1977 (Present: ~1ayor Keller; Councilors Haws, Hamel, Bradley, Delay, Lieuallen, and Obie). Minutes of those meetings appear below printed in smaller type. May 11, 1977 Committee-of-the-Whole I. Items from Mayor and COU?Eil Com 5/11/77 Approve A. ~~P?~s~ to Ad Hoc Committee of Lane County Commissioners-- Manager distributed to Council members a statement prepared by staff and members of the Metro Wastewater Management Commission. He reviewed the statement and. if approved, Assistant Manager would appear before the Lane County Commis- sioners at 1:30 today to report on the City's response. (Copy of statement may be obtained in the City Manger's office.) Manager noted the answer to the two questions which Lane County Commissioners had posed was a qualified yes. He said in response to the first question. it was the City's firm conviction that both the initiative and the deciding voice in an annexation should rest with the residents and property owners involved. However. the City feels that an area-wide annexation vote in the River Road/Santa Clara area at this time would fail to take into account the fact that there are other ways to obtain local sewer collection service besides immediate or area-wide annexation. e In response to the second question, Manager noted it would be highly inappropriate for the City of Eugene to respond favorably to the idea of forming a special service district or County ser- vice district for provision of local sewer collection service when the formation of such a district would be a violation of both state and local planning goals--goals subscribed to by Eugene. Springfield. and Lane County. John H8terius, Santa Clara, questioned why the denial of sewers had not been stated eight months ago. Manager responded that City officials and others had stated the annexation policy of eight months ago and also that they were in the process of studying alternatives. He said the policy being proposed re- presented several modifications over what had been followed the past, where there was a large area-wide annexation policy. The proposed poilicy is different in that it provides for piece- meal or parcel-by-parcel approach 8S the people want to come into the city. People would have the option to annex to the city if they wanted to participate or would not have to for several years, a substantial difference from what had happened in the past. e Mr. Obie Raid he agreed with the present clarification of policy. lie said there were other things that might be dune that could enhance the cooperation between Eugene and the 3'18 5/23/77--3 Corn 5/11/77 Affirm Com 5/11/77 Approve Lane County Commissioners and to avoid hysteria of citizens in the area that Eugene is going to annex. Included in those options would be an agreement to the legitimacy of the Lane County Commissioners and City officials exploring other alter- natives. He felt the City should be an active participant and be able to reflect on any alternatives that might be proposed. His concern was the citizens of that area might wrongfully feel they have no alternatives and he felt that was not the case; they should be aware that alternatives are being explored. An- other concern was the question of who would pay for the increasing costs of the municipal services. If the benefiting citizens were the ones to pay the cost, he wondered if the Lane County Commis- sioners would give all the proportionate revenues back to the City should an alternative be found. He felt that there should be a fair distribution of that type of subsidy. Based on calcu- lations he had done, he noted that the metropolitan area loses approximately $550,000 in state revenues because that area is not part of the city. He reiterated that he would like to see Lane County and the area residents outside Eugene able to pursue alter natives with Eugene city officials active participants in those pursuits. He did not want to present a hard-line stance, but felt the Council should agree to take a look at other alterna- tives. . Mr. Haws moved seconded by Mr. Hamel to authorize Assistant Manger to deliver the policy statement to the Lane County Commissioners. - Ms. Smith noted a great deal of time and effort had gone into the preparation of the policy statement to establish good communica- tion. She hoped the answers would be acceptable to the Lane County Commissioners and hoped that proceeding with the deli- very of the sewer facilities to the citizens in the community would be immediately pursued. Vote was taken on the motion which carried unanimously. B. Senate Bill 538 relating to open meeting laws~-Manager noted this bill had just come to the attention of the City Attorney's office and that it pertains to widespread changes in the open meeting laws which would be of considerable consequence to the Council. He requested, if time allowed, Council consider the bill at the end of the present meeting. C.

Mr. llaw!; lI11tl:j.1 wllll -- 3'19' 5/23/77 --4 e the beginning of a new budget year July I, additional contin- gency funds would be available. Manager replied that the developer has the zoning clearances and is planning to proceed with the development very quickly. Mr. Lieuallen noted the conflicting two 1ssues involved were: 1) retaining view of the Butte; and 2) development of residen- tial housing near the core of the city. He said after touring the area he felt the two would be compatible even though the development might somewhat change the view of the Butte. There will be a trade-off in preserving the view of the Butte and pursuing the policy of general residences near downtown Eugene. He said he would not be in favor of stopping the development at this point. e Mr. Delay expressed his primary concerns as being preserving the historical value of the Shelton-McMurphy house, preserving the view of the Butte, and maintaining a good appearance at a main port of entry to Eugene. The plans seem to take into con- sideration keeping a buffer between the Shelton-McMurphy house and the new development; that the height of the new development will not overshadow the view of the Butte; and that it would be adding more residential options to the downtown area. He did express concern of there being no site review procedures attached to the development and requested Manager send a letter to the developer expressing the concerns that the development be done in a commendable way to preserve the value of the area. Jim Saul, Planning Department, said under the current zoning there would be no way to obligate the developers to a particu- lar plan, but when the formal application for a building permit is filed, the City Council will be informed as to the considered development. The developer seemed sensitive to the concerns and wanted to do a good job. Mr. Delay moved seconded by Mr. Hamel to instruct Manager to write a letter to the developer expressing the City's concerns for maintaining the value of the property. Mo- tion carried unanimously. 1-1,-3 Public hearing was opened on Item I-C from May II, 1977, Committee-of- the-Whole, Skinner Butte Development. Dana Davis, JUJ Willamette Street, introduced Glenn Mason, Lane County Museum, who gave a slide presentation of the historical development of the Skinner Butte area. The purpose was to explain why the Historic Review ~oard was considerably interested in the preservation of the Skinner Butte area. asking Council to be very considerate of the historical preservation of that area. ~ . 4-00 5/23/77 --5 Following the slide presentation, Mr. Davis expressed several points of consideration in regard to the proposed development in the Skinner . Butte area. He was opposed to the development, saying there was concern that it would seriously mar the view, and access to the area should be carefully considered before allowing the development to proceed. He recognized the need for a solution to the housing problem, but questioned the planning process with regard to this particular development. He believed the development had been approved and encouraged by the City Council without adequate public input. The basic point Mr. Davis wished to make was that he felt the planning process had failed. He suggested a motion be passed by City Council that the building permit be delayed until adequate investigation of the impact on the Skinners Butte area be made. He continued he would like to see open discussion on the matter and a motion to delay development until a full investigation on the impact had been made. He entered into the record a petition containing 150 signa- tures of voters of Eugene for the City Council to purchase the remaining private properties in the Skinner Butte area. Michael Arnold, 1715 Cardinal Way, agreed with previous testimony in preserving the historic value of the Skinner Butte area. He said what happened to the area was in the Council.s hands and he hoped for the right decision. Kathe Wright, 2063 Kincaid, entered written testimony regarding concern for the Skinner Butte development. Dorothy Dole, 930 East 21st Street, felt Eugene had three geographical features which made it a special place: the Willamette River, Spencer's Butte, and Skinner's Butte. She felt Skinner's Butte was the most inttegbral part odf theshCityk, adndf WOUldthconsidhertidt a wfatsthe tOt~lloWSk~t to ~ no e preserve. e as e or a oroug s u y 0 e en lre lnner Butte area before any action was taken by Council. Martha Filer, 235 East 3rd Avenue, reviewed for Council what, in her consideration, was the overuse of the existing park space in the Skinner's Butte area. She said recently the Parks and Recreation Department had pointed out to the neighborhood group that the Skinner Butte area was already overused as a park, and there were no plans for future growth. Thus, she said it made sense that making sure the entire Skinner Butte area was saved would seem even more necessary. With no further room for park space to expand in the area, she felt the additional purchase of the two lots by the City would not be much to ask to maintain park areas for people living in the Skinner Butte area. Mayor Keller asked for a show of hands of those concerned citizens in the audience, about 10 persons indicating their concern in regard to preserving the Skinner Butte area. Mr. Delay asked City Attorney if it would be possible to establish a con- struction moratorium on property physically contiguous to public property around the Butte whil e the questi ons were addressed by the Pl anni"9 Commission. Stan Long, City Attorney's office, replied with a qualified 5/23/77-- 6 . ~Ol e yes. He said it was a difficult process for the government to use correctly, with each case judged by the courts on its own merit. Mr. Delay then questioned in the use of a moratorium, if it would be best to be used for a specific purpose and for a specific time limit. Mr. Long replied generally the courts have upheld a moratorium when there was a purpose for developing a plan, but that a moratorium for the sake of delay itselfwas a questionable practice. Mr. Haws then asked staff to advise Council on the best way to proceed in terms of not having the development on the two lots in question. Manager replied that for an indefinite period of time, it would be best for the City to acquire the land. Mr. Bradley questioned whether there were any funds for the acquisition of the property by the City. Manager replied the property was not included in the development of the serial levy, so levy funds could not be used for that purpose. He said another possible source might be the contingency fund, in which there were sufficient.funds to purchase one lot. He said the two lots had been estimated at a total value of $250,000, but the fund did not have that amount. However, the lots could be acquired over a period of time. Mr. Bradley then questioned if Council were to proceed with the acquisi- tion of the property, what the first step would be--condemnation of the property or negotiating with property owners who want to sell. Mayor Keller replied the first step would be to withdraw the Council's position it had already adopted of allowing the development to proceed. However, Council would have to have reasons for stopping the development and instruct staff to so proceed. He felt if the idea were just to hold up the development, it would be an inappropriate action by Council. . Mr. Bradley stated two reasons he felt the development should be held up: 1) if Council wanted to acquire the property, or 2) if Council would want to develop a comprehensive land-use plan for the Skinner Butte area. , Ms. Smith asked for clarification as to which two lots were being discussed, the lot of the development and the neighboring lot, or two additional lots. Jim Saul, Planning Department, replied the two lots in question included the one which is the subject of the apartment development, Tax Lot 200; the other lot immediately to the west of the apartment site, which is presently zoned M-2. Mr. Delay said he had toured the Butte area and taken another look at the lots in question. He shared the concern about preserving the his- torical and view aspects of the Skinner Butte area between the railroad and the Shelton-McMurphy House. There were not many such spaces left in Eugene and he was interested in pursuing the purchase of that lot to prevent any development on it. Mr. Lieuallen wondered how Council could justify spending $250,000 on the purchase of these two lots when the City owns an adequate portion of the Skinner Butte area already. He did not feel the pro- posed development was going to have that severe an impact on the Butte. - 5/23/77-- 7 402 He said the whole City was without adequate park space for its citizens and felt this money could be spent in developing park space in otherCareas of the City. He was not convinced that the development was going to ~ ruin the Skinner Butte area, and the City had policies to save it. Mr. Del ay agreed there was not adequate park 1 and in the Ci ty for all citizens. However, he was looking at the acquisition of these two lots as a real opportunity, citing a potential for development of park space for the citizens of the community in the core area of the City. He was not abandoning the idea of the urban compact growth policy, but that someday, if the City owned this land, it would be in a position to make an excellent public development in that particular area. Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, to authorize City Manager to proceed with acquisition of the one property lot as noted. Mr. Obie said he could not agree with Mr. lieuallen's comments more in regard to spending $250,000 for this small size of property and its accessibility to a large segment of the population. He felt the City could do more of equal value with that much money. He said perhaps at some future point the Council might vote in favor of a study for more intensive planning in the area, but that at this time he would have to oppose the motion. Mr. Lieuallen felt the Council should confront the issue of compact housing, saying that Council will continually get to the point where some citizens do not like what is being proposed. He felt Council would be continually facing the issue, and should not back off from taking some ~ stand. Mr. Delay replied he did not view the issue as one of a situation ~ where people did not like it. He said it was more a matter of preserving the historic portion of Eugene, and that option was available to the Council only at this particular point in time. Mr. Lieuallen said he would like to know the status of the private plans in the area and what kinds of things the Historic Review Board would be suggesting for that area. Jim Saul said the Planning Commission and Planning Department staff had been involved in developing a refinement plan for , that area, and it should be coming to the Planning Commission in July or August when a series of hearings would be held. He said the Planning staff did not see the particular refinement plan as needing ~cquisition of this particular piece of property. Also, the Historic Review Board had been well-represented during public testimony in regard to its role, that being providing infonnation regarding the history of the community. He said what the Historic Review Board could do in regard to the Butte area would be open to question. The Historic Review Board preservations are oriented prlllld.fl'ly to e)(.htlrl!j ~lrw_turesJ and f10l to taking undeveloped property and maintaining it. 1i/'l3/17,.,-a . tt03 e Com 5/11/77 File Com 5/11/77 File Com 5/ ll/77 Approve Com 5/11/77 -~ Com 5,11 /77 III.

Ed Whitelaw, Economic Consultants Oregon, reviewed for Council the economic quarterly report. He noted in a general overview that the issues being dealt with in this report were employment and land-use data. They were putting the data in a framework which might be more useful for those who have to deal with employment and land-use economics, i.e., City Council, Planning Department, or the local public sector. The industrial sector was analyzed and an attempt was made to describe the current economic conditions and what to expect them to be through 1995. The descrip- tion was from the perspective of an individual whose influence over the economy was limited to areas such as zoning codes, property taxes, . annexation, etc. It included where the industrial land was now lo- cated and would be expected to locate over the next several years. Mr. Whitelaw stated that an oversupply of land zoned industrial exists in Eugene, but it is a superficial oversupply. He explained that the location of the land and the parcel sizes minimizes the utility of its usage by any new industry coming to Eugene. In reference to a report describing the employment situation in Eugene, he said the description of different possible outcomes of employment in the lumber and wood products industry is pro- posed in this report if production decreases. He said the problem with that being applied to the Eugene area is that reduction in employment did not take into account the faet of technology being used in those industries. He noted Western Oregon may be hit hard by a reduction in the lumber and wood products industries, but that Eugene might be hit in a different way because it has unique possi- bilities. He said Eugene's economy is different in regard to other economies because of the balance located here. He noted the unusual characteristics included: 1) a fairly high concentration of employ- ment in the lumber and wood products industries; 2) a disproportion- ate concentration in education; and 3) a sufficient isolation from the Portland area in its role of being a large regional growth center and economic sphere of influence. He said the next report would combine the commercial sector with the industrial sector and address the issues of those combined. He said the study group was trying to perform a forecasting of employment in the area. Mr. Hamel congratulated Mr. Whitelaw on the expertise of the explanation for the economic industrial growth study for Eugene and agreed that Eugene seemed to be a very fine hub to the whole southwestern portion of ,the state of Oregon. VII. Review of Annexation Criteria--Memo distributed to Council (state- ment on fi1~- in Manager''",;" illlce and Planning Deportment nt City Hall). Jim Saul, Planning Department, reviewed the criteria statement. He noted it was not a new set of criteria, but baaed on the policies of the Gen~rnl Plan and more specifically detailed in the 1990 Plan. 5/23/77--1 0 -405 e e . . e Com 5/11/77 A1)prove e VIII. Mr. Saul continued that the basic policies included the following: 1) an urban level of development should only occur with the mini- mum level of urban services as described in the 1990 Plan and with a full range of urban services also defined in the 1990 Plan avail- able; 2) that in the area west of Interstate 5 exclusive of Glenwood, the City of Eugene is the logical provider of urban services; and 3) that the city limits will be extended through annexation in re- sponse to need and as necessary to maintain the wellbeing of the entire community. He then reviewed the criteria that had been used by the city in the last five years when evaluating annexation requests. Mr. Delay noted the City was beginning to become more rigorous in its outlook and the City's future in regard to annexation and other policies. He said he felt that after another year had passed, the Council should reexamine its policies to make sure they are consistent with the future growth of the area. He ex- pressed some general concerns in regard to the annexation policies saying they were now very subjective and vague so that people and the City Council did not know until it addressed a specific request what criterion it was dealing with. He said it did not address the cost trade-off and impact of growth, capital costs involved, spheres of annexation, and urban and suburban de- velopment. He felt it would be necessary for the Council to take a closer look at the annexation policy, make refinements, and make it more definitive. Mr. Whitelaw concurred with Mr. Delay's perspective and said he felt over the next year that Mr. Delay would see the policies becoming clearer. Mr. Saul agreed with Mr. Delay's concerns noting that with the economic reports coming in over the next year, the growth study, and the update of the 1990 Plan, it would be appropriate for staff and Council to look at these policies again to see how they might be more refined and definitive. Jim Johnston, Crest Drive Citizens Association, agreed with Mr. Whitelaw's and Mr. Delay's comments. He felt it very important that the Council continue to examine its annexation policy to make it more definitive. Senate B~~~ 5~~ealing with open meeti?f laws--Mr. Long noted he had only recelved a copy of the bill at 1 : 30 and his 'review would be very cursory. It is sponsored by the Oregon Newspapaer Publishers Association and the hearing will be held Thursday, May 12 at 3 p.m. He noted it would be important for City Council to take a position on the bill so that staff could testify. He said the bill deals with two kintilJ of /11(>,,1 in~e:--ft)"mt11 "",J i,nf,,"lttal. II .1cfi"oa a'j i"r....,hol meeting as any discussion or activity between two or more members of the same public body and goes on to delineate that minutes or memo- rnnnllm of tho~p r1iR~llQRinnR Rhnlllrl h.. ttlknn Ann ..nt..rnd into th.. formal minutes of any informal meeting regarding that particular issue. 5/23/77 --11 LfOb ------- Com 5/18/77 Approve Com 5/18/77 File He said a more definitive statement of a public body was included in the bill, which would be any elected or appointed official. The public body must meet in a public building open to the public and it must occur within geographic boundaries of the public body. The no- tice of public meetings would be changed "to provide and give actual notice" whereas now the law states to provide and give notice. An- other item in the bill included that news media could designate its wishes to be notified of all meetings on a calendar basis, but Mr. Long noted that this would not be a problem for Eugene as it already complies. He said it also changes what must be kept in the minutes by including the names of all persons in attendance at executive sessions. He said the exception to the public meeting law provided that hiring, dismissal, or disciplining of a. public officer would be removed. The bill also would include that a written demand be presented at a formal public meeting by a person for an executive session to maintain confidentiality. In consultation with lawyers, the bill provides that public officers may not consult in private unless on filed litigation whereas now it's on current litigation. It also provides that any labor negotiation or collective bargaining would be open to the public. The bill provides for new enforcement mechanisms, i.e., fines or even removal from office. . Mr. Delay questioned whether the definition of a public officer would include Planning Commission members or any of the other committees of the Council. Mr. Long said he thought so but that there were many ambiguities in the bill that he had not yet studied. Mr. Haws moved seconded by Mr. Hamel to oppose SB 538 and direct staff to so testify. Motion carried unanimously. e May 18, 1977 Committee-of-the-Whole I. Items from Hayor and Council A. Skinner's Butte Property--Mr. Delay wondered how Council should address the question of rezoning the remaining M-2 lot in the Butte area. He asked if Planning staff should report back to Council at next Committee-of-the-Whole meeting. Mr. Delay moved, seconded by Mr. Lieuallen, to recommend Planning Commission reconsideration for appropriate rezoning of the lot in the south Skinner's Butte area. Motion carried llnnntmolls1y. B. Tri-Agency Animal Control--Mr. abie questioned Mr. Bradley about the recent news media coverage of a spay-neuter clinic and the possibility that the Tri-Agency Animal Control is not as respon- sive to rural residents as the C01lnty has heen hefore Tri-Agenr.y waR Corlllt!d. He liskE-Ii fir. lH,,,ll,,,y it lie Sl:IW i.Iil1L dt:; IJt:dll~ LfU.:. e L-f07 5/23/77--12 e Mr. Bradley responded no, that the Agency was addressing the issue of livestock control in the rural area. He explained the control had been under the Lane County Deputy Sheriff's Office, who had authorization to use firearms. He noted Tri-Agency per- sonnel were not so authorized for two reasons: 1) the insurance policy rates would be considerably higher; and 2) it would re- quire increased training for personnel to be qualified to use firearms. Assistant Manager said the initial concern over dog control was whether the deployment of personnel was matching what was on paper, that Eugene was to have three dog control officers for whom they were paying, but were not getting. With the creation of a Tri-Agency Control, Lane County could address the matter with the Agency by contracting for law enforcement. Mr. Bradley said the Agency is negotiating to provide the ser- vice and is still addressing the issues, but has not completely resolved them. He answered Mr. Obie's concern by saying he felt the Agency was appropriately responsive to the problems. Corn 5/18/77 Approve C.

Manager reviewed memo from Planning Department, which stated the appeal for the minor partition had been filed too late, and advice from the City Attorney's office indicated the objection to the appeal by the owner of the property is valid. Thus the appeal should be withdrawn from the Council's May 23 agenda, and would require Council action to do so. e Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, to withdraw the minor partition appeal from the May 23 agenda. Mr. Obie asked where the property was located. Jim Saul, Plan- ning Department, noted the property was on Devos Street, north of Barger Avenue. The existing lot contains 16,000 square feet, and the minor partition would create two lots. Vote was taken on the motion, which carried unanimously. Com 5/18/77 Approve D. Acquisition of Lassen PropertY--Manager reported acquisition of 12 acres of Lassen property in the Bethel-Danebo area for park purposes could be successfully negotiated without exercising the right of eminent domain.

He complimented the Public Works Department on a very fine report; H. Change of Public Hearing Date from May' 23 to June 13--Changing Two-Way Alley to One-Way Alley, North-South Alley, Bounded by Hilyard Street, 18th Avenue, Patterson Street, and 19th Avenue-- Manager noted that the request for change of hearing date was necessary for meeting legal obligations in notifying property owners. rrr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, to change the date of the public hearing from May 23 to June 13. Motion carried unanimously. I. Handicapped Commission--Manager noted letter distributed to Council of resignation of Martin Weideman. Of the six applicants inter- ested in serving on the Handicapped Commission, only three had the Handicapped Commission as their first choice. He said there might be a possibility of two Minority Commission members resign- ing in the near future, thus making it necessary to advertise for Commission members on both the Handicapped and Minority Co~ missions. - In Council discussion which followed, it wa~ determined that staff should advertise for the three positions. Manager noted his under- standing of the change of procedures for appointment was that the president and vice president of the Council will make the actual appointment, subject to approval by the Council. This would re- quire a change in Council By-Laws, and staff will begin preparing the necessary papers. Mr. Delay expressed a concern of not being able to remained informed of the commissions' activities, requesting that a report summariz- ing the activities of the last year be made available to Council. He noted it would perhaps help the Council in making its decisions for appotntment9.

Resolution Increasing Weed Howing Rates (memos and resolutions distributed to Council) Manager reported to Council the charge for mowing had not been in- creased for several years, but this year the City was confronted with a substantial increase in contract fees. The proposed resolution for Council consideration sets the new rate for weed mowing at $38 per hour. He said the proposed rate is a result of requests for bids, and the resulting compromise is $24.90 for mowing, plus administrative costs of the Public Works and Finance departments amounting to $11.68 per hour. Don Allen, Public Works Director, noted one problem would be the sur- prise of 500-600 people in the area when the bills for mowing are re- ceived. In regard to the increaRe in rates, he said state law requires the city has to pay the prevai1inp, wllf',e scale, n()tln~ the Council had no choice but to approve. lie' an i ri Puh 1 ic WnrkR nepllrtmP.nt would advertise vi~orously to encourap,e people to do their own mowing, and would hantlle the publid ty for not I fy I"J). rwopl r 'If t:h" rhnnp;n i n r~t"A.

Assistant Manager said the City often ends up with a lien on the property which requires City Council action. ' e Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, to adopt the resolu- tion. Motion carried unanimously. Com 5/18/77 v. Approve Joint Housing Committee Recommendations A. Supplemental funding requests of Lane County Home Repair Program-- Memo, letter, and HCC report distributed to Council. Manager re- ported the Joint Housing Committee was requesting Council recom- mendation for use of $6,000 of general revenue sharing funds for housing from the 1976-77 fiscal year be granted to Lane County to continue the home repair program until funds would be avail- able from the 1977-78 Community Development Block Grant program probably in July or August. Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, that the request for $6,000 be taken from the general revenue sharing account and be designated for housing assistance and appropriated for this program. Motion carried unanimously. Mayor complimented the RCC staff on its fine report. Com 5/18/77 Approve B. Palace Hotel--Memo, letter, accounting data distributed to Council. ~mnager reviewed information for Council, noting the request was for funding from the City while the Pala~e Hotel owners look for funding from other sources. Re said the Joint Housing Committee was recommending to City Council that the operating contingency account be replenished in an amount not to exceed the average monthly deficit of $2,000 per month for a 120-day period, begin- ning May 1. An additional $1,000 was being requested to allow Mr. Sorgenfri to seek advice of a consultant knowledgable in the area of residential rental property management to review both budget and operation of the Palace Hotel. . Robin Johnson, HCC, distributed to Council an accounting of all revenue sharing monies the City had spent over the previous four years. She said the recommendation from the JHC to the Council related to the problems experienced by the Palace Hotel in the past year regarding refurbishi~g the hotel and attracting permanent occupants. She noted there had been a large financial investment already made by the City and felt the City should seriously con- sider exploration of alternatives to deal with the problem. The Committee felt the Palace Hotel provides a low-income housing resource that is very much needed in the community. She reiter- ated the JHC's request from the Council [Dr the $9.000 expenditure, noting that Mr. Sorgenfri has two applications in for grant funds. She said he should be notified hy mid-summer whether either one or both would be accepted. Also. the Committee would give further consideration to additional funding if the two grants are approved. She said the Committee felt 1.t neceSfHU'Y to finAnd.Rlly 8S911'1t e the Palace Hotel in this interim period. Also. it would give the Committee time to see if the housing occupancy w:l.ll tIllIlntain itself as it has been on a monthly basis only since March. Ltl\ 5/23/77--16 e Mr. Lieuallen questioned the nature of the difficulty in making the Palace Hotel a good housing situation, and what the problem was in maintaining permanent occupancy. Ms. Johnson replied that a number of things had to be completed before the Palace Hotel would be suitable for occupancy, primarily fire safety items and making the kitchen operable for serving meals. The rehabilitation took a great deal longer than had been anticipated and the work that had been done could not actually be seen. She said it is still not an attractive place, although it is safer; and it is hoped that the new grant funds will make it more livable and better looking. If the rehabilitation were continued to make the Palace Hotel more attractive, it would attract and hold permanent tenants. Mr. Obie noted there was considerable testimony given before the Joint Housing Committee, and the Committee was very concer~ed in not locking the City into a permanent subsidy for the Palace Hotel. He said the four-month deadline was set to try to bring some point of finality to the problem. e Mr. Delay asked if, after the 120-period was over, the JHC would come back to the City Council with alternatives, if it would be necessary to shut down the Palace Hotel, or if a request for more money would be made. Mr. Obie replied the last two might be the only two alternatives available, but that with the $9,000 amount requested, other alternatives would be explored. Mr. Haws expressed concern about the City recouping the $9,000 that was being requested at this time. Mr. Hamel arrived at the meeting. Mr. Haws wondered if the property were sold, would the City recoup its money. ~fu. Johnson replied it depended on the terms of the sale, noting that in the original contract, the staff and City Council both were opposed to ever owning the Palace Hotel. She said the contract included a penalty default clause in which the City had the option to take over managment or hire additional management to take over the hotel, but the City would never be in a position of owning it. She continued that if the Palace Hotel were sold to a buyer who was not interested in continuing it as a housing unit, there would be some opportunity for the City to recoup some of its money. However, if the buyer wanted to contlnlll! the hOlltllnv. I'r".\~r:t., tho r:lty m11',111 \1nntc t" ,riOt-Inlle the hOI1RinR proRram and would not Kc>t f.tR moony hnc.k. Hr.

He felt it did not make any sense to place a city lien on the property 4-/1. 5/23/77--17 at this time. Mr. Haws reported feeling uncomfortable about pouring money into the hotel with the possibility of not getting it back. Mr. Kupper replied there was no guarantee that the City could recoup its money. Stan Long, City Attorney's office, said that the City did not seek a security position when it entered into its original contract, but did so more in the nature of agreement or partnership. It was noted the City had already invested approximately $138,000 in the Palace Hotel. -- Mr. Delay said the City had already made a big investment in the Palace Hotel and he would like to see some way of allowing that project to continue. Mr. Obie noted the JHC was as concerned about the money going down the drain as the City Council. The Committee expressed a definite interest in seeing a positive move forward with the project or positively saying it had gone far enough. This was the reason the decision had been made for the 120-day interim period. He said as an individual he did not think the problem would be solved in 120 days, but that both the staff and Committee had strong desires to try to make it work. John Porter, Planning Director, noted a particular benefit to the City in that funding would open up low-income housing to people for an additional four months, housing for people who possibly could not afford it any other way. Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, to authorize and ap- prove the expenditure of $9,000. Motion carried unanimously. e Mayor Keller mentioned that in the attempts by the JHC to make the Palace Hotel more attractive, there were many fine organi- zations who would be interested and happy to help supply some of the items that might be needed. Com 5/18/77 File VI. Other Items A. Outstanding Performance by Fire Department-~anager mentioned memo distributed to Council, noting some months ago the Council had visited the Fire Department garages where Fire Department personnel had completed the design and development of a tanker truck, using "light water" in the suppression and extinguising of fires, designed particularly to handle gas and oil fires. He noted the City Fire Department had a fine example last Friday evening on the Delta Highway where this particular tanker, with the help of several other pieces of equipment and personnel, was able to control a large tank truck and trailer fire in 53 minutes. He said this would not have been possible without the use of the light water equipment, and complimented Fire Department personnel. Com 5/18/77 File B. Audit Certification--Sherm Flogstad, Finance Administration, re- ported to Council the City had recently received a supplemental certificate of conformance audit given by the Municipal Finance Officers' Association. He said the MFOA had viewed many audits in 16 states, and had conferred such certificates on 250 cities of which Eugene was one. He noted Eugene was the first city in the state to receive such certification three years ago, crediting the administration and staff's ability to take pride in the work that they do. - Y.(3 5/23/77 --18 e 1-8-1 1-8-2 IV. - e Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, that Items May 11, 1977, I-VIII and Items May 18, 1977, I-VI be approved, affirmed and filed as noted. Mr. Bradley moved that a moratoriwn be established on the. issuance of a building permit, with the staff to conduct a land-use planning study for the entire Skinner Butte area. Mr. Obie raised a point of order, noting a motion was already on the floor. Mr. Bradley moved to amend the motion in regard to Item I-C under May 11 meeting minutes and Item I-A under May 18 meeting minutes, to establish a moratoriwn on the issuance of a building permit, with Staff to conduct a land-use planning study for the entire Skinner Butte area. Motion died for lack of a second. Vote was taken on the original motion which carried with all Council members present voting aye, except Mr. Bradley voting no.

Mr. Williams had no knowledge of whether the public . hearing had been considered or held. However, he was knowledgeable of the people who were buying the establishment, saying they had a long history of conducting business within the State without any difficulties or any problems. He said these people were hoping to rehabilitate the building and were very interested in seeing the procedure completed as rapidly as possible. Mr. Bradley reiterated his concern that at one time Council was going to hold a public hearing, and he asked again that Staff look at the minutes to see if that hearing had been held. Mayor Keller felt this was a totally different problem because it involved a totally new opera- tion and was wondering if Mr. Bradley was questioning allowing the change of ownership. Vote was taken on the motion which carried with all Council members voting aye and Mr. Bradley voting no on Item E. 1-B-2 V.

Manager replied the liquor licenses were granted based on the growth of population in an area. Mr. Bradley wondered how many more licenses would be dispensed in Eugene, to which Staff replied perhaps 15. Mr. Bradley said if so, perhaps Council should be more particular in where, when, and to whom it would be issuing the liquor licenses. Mayor Keller said these licenses were all renewals, and perhaps Mr. Bradley's concern was not relevant unless he wished to deny one of the renewals. 5/23/77--22 e Lt.17 . 1-8-3 e Vote was taken on the motion which carried unanimously.
