M I NUT E S EUGENE CITY COUNCIL November 16, 1977 Adjourned meeting from November 9, 1977, of the City Council of the City of Eugene, Oregon, was called to order by His Honor Mayor Gus Keller at 11:30 a.m., November 16, 1977, at King1s Table, Oakway Mall, with the following Council members present: Eric Haws, D. W. Hamel, Tom Williams, Ray Bradley (arrived late), Jack Delay, Scott Lieuallen, Brian Obie, and Betty Smith. 1. Items from Mayor and Council A. Alarm Monitoring System--Jack Delay called Council's attention to a memo and reprint distributed regarding alarm monitoring systems. He requested staff information as to whether or not Council should be looking at the same kind of problem regarding false fire alarms. B. Licensing Committee--Mayor Keller said Bill Hamel had volunteered to serve. C. Award of Achievment for Lowest Accident Frequency in Group 6-- Mayor Keller presented to City Manager a plaque from League of e Oregon Cities for award from the State Accident Insurance Fund for year 1976-77. D. Meeting Location for November 28--Manager said staff was proceeding with wiring in City Hall areas to provide speakers in the large courtroom, the coffee shop, and other locations, to accommodate the expected large number of persons for the meeting. He also noted the change in format in that the second reading of this ordinance would be the first item on the agenda. Mr. Obie wondered)if in extending the wiring to other parts of City Hall, whether it would be possible for the news media to operate from those 10cations~ Ms. Rutter replied six outlets had been provided for press, with an additional seven being perma- nently installed in the Council Chamber. She also noted media had been requested to stay out of the line of contact between City Council and those persons testifying. E. Proclamation of Election Results--Manager noted for Measure No. 51, authorizing airport bond issue of $900,000, the results were as follows: Total yes vote--8,554 Total no vote--2,252 Overvotes--16 Undervotes-659 e Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, to approve the Proclamation. Motion carried unanimously. 11/16/77--1 8 Sf 2.. , F. Tree Preservation Committee--Meeting has been called for . Wednesday, November 30, 7:30 p.m., Parks and Recreation Department, 858 Pearl Street. G. City Suit Re Cone-Breeden Property--Manager noted the League of Oregon Cities Board of Directors had unanimously-joined with the City in its legal action against the appeal before LCDC by citizens in the City. Mayor Keller noted the major concern of the Board had been regarding the LCDC being in an area of reviewing City zoniong actions within its city limits, and the legality of that review process in its entirety. He said also the Board felt it should pursue this particular issue to try to resolve the LCDC's role in the future. Mr. Bradley arrrived. II. Continuation of Discussion of Economic Development Procedural and Organizational Arrangements--Memo distributed Manager reviewed for Council the several sessions which had been held on this subject, and noted a discussion would be continued Friday, November 18, at the Thunderbird, with Springfield City Council, Lane County Commissioners, and L-COG Board. He indicated the process for tOday's discussion would be a five-minute continuation by Ed Whitelaw on his memo of October 10, followed by a review of the memo from the Planning Department. He said staff was asking Council action on this matter in order to instruct Eric Haws, Council's L-COG representative, e for voting on the economic development issue on December 1.- Ed Whitelaw recapped the discussion of October 19. He noted reports on any sagging health of the Eugene economy have been greatly exaggerated. The number of jobs in Lane County has been growing rapidly, but he was not saying it had been accelerating. He said the composition of employment had been shifting from the least stable categories to the more stable, noting a shift from manufacturing into nonmanufacturing areas. He said the recent growth in employment had been entirely in nonmanufacturing fields. Additionally, he said the area had an unusually large unemployment rate of 9.3 percent. Two components make up this unemployment group: (1) the in-migration into Lane County, or people who come in to look for jobs and are unemployed while they are looking but usually do find employment; and (2) those who are chroni- cally unemployed year in and year out. He said the policy implication that follows from those facts are different than if Lane County's jobs were growing very slowly. He reviewed for Council page 10 of an October 10 memorandum regarding the number of tools that local govern- ments could use to cope with economic problems, noting programs to upgrade human resources or increasing supply of capital (i.e., Port Districts). He said the rest of the memorandum included some impli- cations of these economic conditions and suggested institutional arrangements to adopt to cope with these problems. e 8'13 11/16/77--2 e He reviewed some general recommendations: The suggestion that the general purpose government should maintain as great a control as possible over the policy instruments. Also, from what is known of the tools available, none is likely to have any positive impact on the rate of growth of job opportunities locally. He said there was little, if anything, that could be done locally to increase jOb opportunities over present conditions. He said employment growth could be. slowed down by increasing the inefficiency of local policies. That concluded the thrust of the October 10 memo. In reviewing the November 5 memo from the Planning Department, Mr. Whitelaw continued it was a summary of what has been going on with discussions and projects in economic development. He di rected Counci1's attention to the recommendations listed on page 3, noting they were consistent with the October 10 memo. 1 . Institutional Arrangements: The Council should endorse the concept of a Lane County economic improvement commission with the stipulation that its bylaws provide for 40 percent of the commission's voting members to be appointed by the Eugene City Council and provide a mechanism which allows the City Council to validate actions which directly affect the City of Eugene. He noted this was also consistent with the memo as proposed by the L-COG Board. The next recommendation was the Council should not endorse the concept of a Lane County Port Authority. He said the major purpose of a Port District was to increase job opportuni- e ties, and the evidence suggested Eugene had little or no chance to increase that. He continued even if a Port District did have some influence, it would be very desirable to keep the coordinating component of economic pOlicy within the local government. He noted a Port District is in effect an autonomous taxing and spending local government. Comprehensive Employment and Training Act--He recalled for Council the major unemployment groups in the area. He said to minimize the burdens of the unemployed, Eugene should coordinate with Lane County the unemployment placement programs so as to reduce the length of job search, and also should increase employment training to allow a more competitive posture by locally unemployed in their search for jobs. Mr. Delay questioned Mr. Whitelaw as to the rationale that ended up with the 40 percent representation figure. He felt it necessary for juris- dictions in Lane County to have some kind of review and veto power, but wondered if there might not be some fear from others of dominance. He wondered how necessary it was to get an exact proportional representation. Jim Farah, Planner, said all the work Mr. Whitelaw had done had pointed out the preeminance of the City of Eugene in the context of an economic center. He noted it had to do with the ability t9 affect City policies in this context. More directly, he answered, the 40-percent figure had come from the 1976 population ratio of Eugene to Lane County. e 8J.f1f 11 /16/77 --3 Mr. Lieuallen wanted to pursue the notion of the high rate of job oppor- . tunity development in the area, and asked for background that led to the conclusion that there is not much that can be done. Mr. Whitelaw responded there were two things going on with the local economy. The Eugene-Springfield economy appears to be taking on a central role for surrounding and growing counties in the region. He said as that growth continues, people from these counties spend an increasingly larger propor- tion of their incomes on services, retail goods, government services, etc.) in the regional center, Eugene. He said as these two things happen, and as the.Eugene-Springfield area takes on a central role, then employ- ment in this area will continue to increase more rapidly than in the other areas surrounding Lane County. Also, there would be an increasingly greater proportion of total employment in retail, services, goverment, etc., than the rest of these surrounding counties. He said Lane County does not have much control over the other counties so a Port District here is unlikely to have much impact. Furthermore, the pattern of shifting from manufacturing to services is a national pattern. The policy instruments that Eugene might want to pursue locally would have zero impact nationally. He also noted that if Eugene has a certain amount of public resources to devote to certain actions, the question is what benefits derive from what costs and when is money most efficiently spent. Mr. Haws wondered if Mr. Whitelaw were saying this proposal was the best economic vehicle for Eugene. Mr. Whitelaw reviewed for Council there were other things that Council and the City of Eugene were already doing. He said, in short, however, his answer to the question was yes. Mr. Haws stated that he had never heard staff or Mr. Whitelaw come out and totally - support this proposal. He said the only benefit he had heard was receiving an increase in grant funds. He wondered if it were really worth the money and effort to get in,volved in this effort. Mr. Whitelaw described a Port District as being constrained to a certain number of specific policies directed to the demand side of the market. The economic development district could provide money and varied projects for a local economy, and the local government could control and translate into choices among alternative actions. He said another point for consideration was that this would be Federal funds. There would not be the constraints in uses of the funds as would exist with a Port District. Mr. Haws then wondered if this could be formed and accomplished on a smaller scale, noting just Eugene, or Eugene and Springfield. Mr. Whitelaw said no, the smallest unit that could be considered was one county, and this was unusual. Mr. Obie indicated he wanted more information regarding the Port District. He also asked if the 40 percent representation had to be elected offi- cials. Mr. Farah replied the EDA did require not more than one-third be elected, with two-thirds to come from the community, or all could come from the community. Mr. Obie then responded he could see the argument regarding creating another local branch of government being a negative one. However positive arguments could include autonomy and having the facilities to get the job done. Also, he noted the unemployment e 11/16/77--4 8~5 . problems seem to be created by in-migration and hard-core unemployed. He did not know whether the city was taking care of the hard-core unemployed through CETA funds. He wondered, in talking in Utopian terms, if popula- tion were limited whether or not that would solve the unemployment prob- lem. Mr. Whitelaw stated restricting population had not been done. He said the unemployment rate among those covered by FICA is 4.2 percent locally; however, the total unemployment rate is 9.3 percent. This means among the self-employed and those not covered, there is a larger percen- tage unemployment rate. If net in-migration. were reduced, the Council would be looking at a 4.25 percent unemployment rate, which is a pretty steady rate. The other individuals which make up the bulk of unemployment are not obtaining these covered jobs. He said it would be unlikely that limiting in-migration would affect the changes of unemployment and increased earnings. He said if one looks at the supply side of the labor force among the chronically unemployed, there would be more effect on the overall unemployment rate. Mr. Delay wondered if the argument favoring limiting in-migration would allow those chronically under-employed to compete for available jobs. Mr. Whitelaw replied that was right, and a good point. He said, however, there were other complications, noting the effect of increasing particular rates, among women for example, would increase the unemployment rate that corresponds to full employment. He said as more of those kinds of per- sons were brought in, it is likely a larger unemployment rate would occur. In other words, a city could have general standards improved even in face of increasing unemployment. e In pursuant discussion regarding Council taking action, it was decided Council would delay action until Wednesday, November 23, to allow fur- ther discussion and in-depth review at the Friday, November 18 meeting. I I!. Counter-cyclical Funds Transfer Manager said these were federal monies which the City had been receiving, with federal regulations and specific limitations on how the money could be spent changing almost weekly. He said staff expected to have a more comprehensive discussion on all countercyclical funds in a few weeks, noting the total might be $700,000. However, the two proposals being presented have high priority and acting on them now would be cost-effective. A. Rehabilitation of Ventilation and Heating System--Memo distributed. Manager referred to memo which outlined for Council the various buildings to be affected. He said the recommendation had come as a result of a study with recommendations for improving efficiency and reducing energy costs. He noted the savings in energy costs would eventually pay for these improvements. He said Council action would not be to pass a resolution, but rather to authorize preparation of an ordinance to transfer the funds. Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel to authorize the City Man- ager to prepare ordinance to transfer funds. Motion carried unanimously. e 11/16/77--5 KLf~ B. Approval of Consultant Services to Develop and Improve City's . Contracting System--Memo distributed. Mr. Hamel wondered if this money was being requested to set up a purchasing system. Manager said the City had a purchasing system with established procedures. The effect of this expenditure would be to adjust that system to comply with state and federal regulations, to improve the effectiveness, and to put together a contracting' proce- dures manual. He said staff could do it, but the effort would require considerable staff time and the putting aside of other priority items. It was felt an outside firm could do the job more quickly and efficiently with less expenditure of staff time and City money. Assistant Manager noted for Council various inconsistencies regarding the ways various departments developed contracts. He said this project would result in standard procedures for all, and would provide adequate internal control and consistent policies. Mr. Hamel wondered if City could not draw from the experience of other cities and written materials that might be available, rather than spending $20,000 to accomplish the project. Assistant Manager reiterated this would involve a major investment of staff time, and City staff simply does not have that resource without hampering other ongoing programs. It was felt to be important and of a high enough priority to look at hiring expertise, which City staff did not have. Staff felt it would be cheaper and the City would get a broader experience base by having an outside firm do it. Mr. Delay requested staff to recap what was deliverable. Sherm Flogstad, Finance Director, reiterated City staff did not have time e to follow up on the new state and federal regulations on contracting. By producing a manual with standardized procedures, it was felt each City department would then be executing contracts in a consistent manner. The money would be used to develop and implement a public contract handling procedure for the City, preparation of a compre- hensive procedures manual, a control system to assure that such procedures are kept current at all times, and a program to indoc- trinate key personnel on the use of procedures developed. Mr. Obie wondered if part of the motive was that the federal money was available to spend and must be spent. Assistant Manager said no, the problem was severe enough that staff had considered asking for funds from the contingency fund. However, with countercyclical funds available, it was decided to use that money. Mr. Obie then wondered, in reference to other proposals to come before Council later, whether there might be others that would be of more concern. Assistant Manager said all of the proposals were not received yet, but in general those coming up would be automation of the library, a potential investment of $100,000 in the Police Department, and the 911 communications system. In response to a question from Mr. Obie, Assistant Manager said it was felt that this need was of high priority and involved enough risk that staff preferred not to wait. 11/16/77--6 e 8~1 e Mr. Williams wondered if staff was saying this request was some- thing that management feels needs to be done, or whether it was response to directives of state and federal government. Assistant Manager replied staff felt it needed to be done, and it was in line with City Council's own policy. Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, to direct City Manager to prepare ordinance to transfer funds. Motion carried unani- mously. IV. Transfer of Funds from Contingency for Equipment Repairs--Resolution distributed. Manager reviewed for Council two recent accidents involving Parks and Fire Department vehicles. Since the City was self-insured, the City has to replace the vehicles with its own money. He said it was an appropriate use of contingency funds. Res. No. 2793--Authorizing transfer of funds from Contingency to Equipment Service Fund for repair of Parks boom truck and replacement of Fire Department vehicle was read by number and title. Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, to adopt the resolution. Roll call vote. Motion carried unanimously with Mr. Haws abstaining. V. Transfer of Funds within Equipment Service Fund--Resolution and memo e distributed. Manager said City has one tree maintenance crew at present. Because of rapidly increasing responsibilities for tree maintenance, it was considered necessary to increase the crew. The personnel to field another group of tree maintenance vehicles would be provided through CETA funding. This transfer of funds represents an increase in services and eventually this would become a continuing service funded through the general budget. He said it appears a very desirable, necessary, and needed service. Generally speaking, Manager said along with budgeting for increased services, normally a department would take the necessary funds out of its general fund capital outlay. This situation differs because the money is available and because there are no other funds ex- cept contingency. Also, he noted it is impossible to acquire additional equipment through countercyclical funds as has been done for Public Works equipment because of recent federal changes in regulations. Ed Smith, Parks Director, said in fulfilling this program, it would also be an approval of transfer of funds out of a personnel account to furnish materials and supplies for the crew. Res. No. 2794--Authori'zing transfer from Capital Project to Capital Outlay Account funds to purchase truck and chipper for tree maintenance for Parks Department was read by number and title. e g~ 11/16/77--7 - Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, to adopt the resolut~on. . Roll call vote. Motion carried unanimously. VI. Spencer Butte Parking Lot Paving Award of Contract--Memo distributed. Manager reviewed for Council the bids opened October 20 (tabulation attached). This is the first stage of an EDA grant and recommended low bid from Wildish be accepted. Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, to accept low bid as recommended by staff. Motion carried unanimously. A short recess was taken. VII. Rezoning: Properties located between 7th and 13th avenues, extending from Washington Street to Lincoln Street, from C-2 and R-3 to MU Mixed Use (Eugene Planning Commission) (Z 76-38) Recommended by Planning Commission November 1, 1977, with a 4:2 vote. Manager noted this was a tangled morass of procedural problems and requested City Attorney to explain the legal status. Stan Long, City Attorney, reminded Council its own bylaws provided that at any Wednesday meeting, any two Councilors could request an item be held over to the next regular Monday meeting. He asked Council to determine that action and then he would proceed with the explanation. Manager noted it might possibly be an entire month before the issue could be resolved. If the issue were held to November 28 and lacked unanimous reading, it would be held for the next December meeting. City Attorney reviewed for Council that it had had a motion to approve and e give final passage to an ordinance. During that discussion, an amendment was made which was different from the Planning Commission report, which consequently led to a joint Planning Commission Council meeting. If tOday.s motion passes, the bill as amended would have to be read the first and second time. If tOday.s motion were defeated, a Councilor could make a new motion. He reminded Council it was in a quasi-judicial situation and would have to make one decision or another. A possibility might occur in which one Councilor would want to do something or vote down the amendment, which would take a motion to reconsider by someone who voted for the amendment. If that motion were to pass, then the second reading on the original council bill would be held at this time. He said in this instance the motion to amend passed and the ordinance did not pass, noting it would need to be read as amended a first and second time. He continued, because the amendment came at the second reading, Council has not read the bill in its present form as amended the first time. Mayor Keller requested any Councilor to express his intention to set the item over to the next Monday night meeting. No Councilor so indi- cated. Mr. Long pointed out another possibility: If Council wished to resolve the issue today, unanimous action could be taken on the first reading and then Councilors could vote their real choice on the second reading. e 8Y~ 11/16/77--8 . He reiterated the motion on the floor was to give approval and final e passage of the Council bill as amended. He also noted if any Councilor had missed the joint Planning Commission/Council meeting November 1, he should note for the record that he had either listened to the tapes or read the record. Mr. Lieual1en noted he had listened to the tapes. Mr. Lieua11en requested someone from the prevailing side of the amendment make a motion to remove the amendment because he felt there was no evidence in reading the Code or any of the charges made to Councilor case laws which say Councilors are responsible to protect the financial interest of property owners. He felt Councilors were responsible to the community and should be acting on the basis of the general public good, noting the various documents the Council itself had adopted, and the input from the public sector expressing public need. He did not see the Council's role as one of protecting the financial interest of property owners, but protecting the interest of the general public. He sai d Council should look at the list of public policies that it has established and adopted, noting its responsibility to protect the general public good. Mr. Delay agreed with Mr. Lieuallen's comments, noting he did not feel this rezoning was creating a financial bind on anyone. He cited Mr. Obie's comment lIexact use the owner wanted; is that exactly what the owner wanted to do wi th hi s property, II noti ng if Counci 1 were to respond to the owners exact choice of land use, then the City would have no need for zoning and planning. When trying to consider the general public good, he did not see any merit, nor did he see why Council had to ask these e kinds of questions which are basically corruptive. He had seen nothing in the record that represented findings of fact for that amendment. He also noted two Council members had changed their vote from the first reading to favor the amendment, and yet had not expressed why. He noted it was impossible to have every four quadrants of blocks with the same zoning without having the whole City being zoned in the same manner. He felt the public record had to have some more substantial findings of fact and reasoning, noting the in-depth study and planning that had been done on this issue. He felt it inappropriate for City Council to simply go ahead and exempt these two pieces of property. Mr. Obie felt the concern with property owners' financial standing was not the question of issue. He felt the issue was whether the City had found facts to justify the rezoning, and he had not found those facts making it necessary to rezone the Lawrence Street Market. Mr. Will i ams echoed Mr. Obie's remarks, saying it was not a negation of planning and zoning, but a question of zoning and not planning. He said once the government decided zoning should be changed, then it may have the legal right to do so. He raised the question of right of eminent domain and the implication of compensation for the property. He was very uncomfortable in saying the government could change a use that had been established and relied upon for a long period of time. He was not comfortable with Council saying what a property owner had relied upon now no longer counts. He felt it unfair. e 11/16/77 --9 8!IJ ~ In response to Mr. Obie's remarks of no findings of fact, Mr. Delay e said the findings of fact were evident throughout the entire process, noting the records and minutes of the Planning Commission, the various public hearings, the 1990 Plan, the Blayney Report, and pUblic input before the City Council. He was not comfortable with the notion there had been no findings of fact. Mr. Delay said some persons assumed that the rezoning would detract from an individual getting a greater return on his property. He said that subject had been addressed in the Blayney Report which indicated the property owners would receive more value. He could not agree with the statement that if the government made zoning changes in the public interest, compensation should be made to persons affected. Mr. Lieuallen said he heard Mr. Williams suggesting City government was going to be required to guarantee property owners' future investments. He said that would entail predicting how much money a property owner might make under a certain zone, as against another, and compensate if the zone were changed. He said that was not the issue. Rather, it was about an application for a zone change supported by public policy, and Council should decide on the basis of the general public need. Mr. Bradley noted he would abstain as he had abstained from discussion and voting throughout the entire proceedings, having once been a property owner in the area. He questioned, since he had subsequently sold the property, whether he should enter into discussion and voting at this time. City Attorney said historically, Councilors have made the judgment to abstain on the basis of owning property that is sUbject to the discussion.4It Secondly, City Council could decide to request a Councilor to abstain. If that no longer applies and a Councilor can say he can enter into discus- sion without prejudice and he is fully informed and not biased, he may do so. The difficulty with that stance is having once declared abstention, whether other Councilors .or persons would question if that Councilor had indeed listened and had been actively involved. He again reiterated it was up to the individual Councilor to first indicate his abstention and the reasons why; secondly, City Council could require abstention if it so desired. Mr. Bradley noted he had been present at all the discussions and had listened and read the materials. He was going to abstain from voting and discussion today, but if Council had a new ordinance before it on this same issue, he would decide then whether to vote. Vote was taken on the motion as amended, which passed with Williams, Smith, Hamel, and Obie voting aye; Delay, Lieuallen, and Haws voting no and Bradley abstaining. City Attorney said Council would then have to go through first and second reading of the amended bill. e 11/16/77--10 851 , . e C.B. 1543--Rezoning from C-2 and R-3 to MU Mixed Use properties located between 7th and 13th avenues, extending from Washington Street to Lincoln Street was read by council bill number and title only, there being no Council member present re- questing it be read in full. Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, that findings supporting the rezoning as set out in Planning Commission Staff Notes and Minutes of July 12, 1977, be adopted by reference thereto; that the bill be read the second time by council bill number only, with unanimous consent of the Council; and that enactment be considered at this time. Mr. Lieua11en questioned whether the findings of fact included support of the amendment. City Attorney said Council in effect had a new council bill before it. Mr. Lieua11en then wondered if the findings of fact related to recommending inclusion of the property that Council had just exempted and wondered if findings of fact would have to be made on that exemption. City Attorney said the exemption no longer exists, and whether or not findings of fact do or do not support is something Council had to decide. Vote was taken on the motion, which carried with Williams, Smith, Hamel, and Obie voting aye; Haws, Delay, and Lieua11en voting no and Bradley abstaining. Lacking unanimous consent, second reading for the council bill will be November 28. e VIII. Rezoning: Property located between 13th Avenue and 14th Avenue, west of Chambers (Z 77-27) (Janisse) Recommended by Planning Commission November 1, 1977, with a 5:2 vote. Mr. Saul reviewed for Council the property included three parcels lo- cated between 13th and 14th avenues, on the west side of Chambers Street. Planning Commission had recommended the southerly parcel be rezoned from R-1 to RP-SR; the northerly two parcels to be rezoned from R-1 to R-2 SR. He noted for Council affirmative findings of fact as recom- mended by the Planning Commission to support this rezoning where available. However, if Council were to deny the rezoning, it would have to make a tentative decision and request negative findings supporting that decision be prepared and adopted. C. B. 1536--Rezoning from R-1 to RP-SR, Tax Lot 9400 located between 13th and 14th avenues, west of Chambers Street, was read by council bill number and title only, there being no Council member present requesting it be read in full. Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel that findings supporting the rezoning as set out in Planning Commission Staff Notes and Minutes of July 5, 1977, be adopted by reference thereto; that the bill be read the second time by council bill number only, with unanimous consent of the Council; and that enact- ment be considered at this time. Motion carried unanimously e and the bill was read the second time by council bill number only. ~2 11/16/77--11 . Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, that the bill be e approved and given final passage. Roll call vote. All Council members present voting aye, the bill was declared passed and numbered 18075. C.B. 1537--Rezoning from R-1 to R-2 SR, Tax Lots 9200 and 9300, located between 13th and 14th avenues west of Chambers Street, was read by council bill number and title only, there being no Council member present requesting it be read in full. Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel that findings supporting the rezoning as set out in Planning Commission Staff Notes and Minutes of July 25, 1977, be adopted by reference thereto; that the bill be read the second time by council bill number only, with unanimous consent of the Council; and that enact- ment be considered at this time. Motion carried unanimously and the bill was read the second time by council bill number only. Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, that the bill be approved and given final passage. Roll call vote. All Council members present voting aye, the bill was declared passed and numbered 18076. IX. Resolutions Res. No. 2789--Endorsing need for improvement of Highway 99 from Airport Road to Junction City was read by number and title. e Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, to adopt the resolution.
