Motion carried with all Council members present voting aye except Mr. Haws voting no. Mr. Haws voted no because he wanted to study the appointment list for a week. D. Selection of City Auditor--Mayor Keller said there had been discussion about the selection of City Auditor, and thus appointed Councilors Williams and Obie to watch over the selection process. Mr. Lieuallen and Mr. Haws both expressed concern about having the same auditor for a lengthy time. Mr. Obie questioned exactly what he and Mr. Williams were to do. Manager replied they were to obser'le the selection process for an auditor and report back to Council. He noted the recommendation on final selection is an administr.'ltive decision; however, that - 2/8/78--2 lLf - e - recommendation would be forwarded to Council for approval of that contract. He noted the auditor's contract was very vital as the firm is hired to check staff administration of budget in terms of legality and efficiency. However, it's essential that the Council has an auditor with whom they are satisfied. Mr. Williams expressed concern as to what he was supposed to do. He did not feel there was any reason to change auditors or attorneys every so many years unless they were not giving the City good service. He noted in past experience, when auditors were changed, it resulted in a "nonaudi t" for about two years. He sai d if the purpose of the subcommittee was to see if Coopers and Lybrand is a reliable firm and doing a good job, then he is willing to serve. However, if it were to change the system, he was not willing. Mr. Flogstad said, because of concern expressed by Council, the Finance Department had contacted 21 firms with a list of questions. Several responses had been received. He said the department would like to be sure when it gets to the point of selecting an auditor, that the scope of the audit and the process being used are acceptable to the Counci 1 . II. Civic Center Auditorium Concept on Site Usage and Facilities Memo from Civic Center Director dated February 7, 1978, distributed. Manager said the purpose of discussion was to look at the concepts as presented; a public hearing will be held Monday, February 13, on these concepts with some kind of decision as to which concept should be adopted. A cost estimate for scheme No.7 is being prepared and should be ready for that hearing. Les Anderson, Chairman of the Civic Center Commission, said the auditorium project was approaching the pre-schmatic design phase. This would deter- mine what activities will actually be on site and approximately how much cubic space should be devoted to each activity. He said the memo outlines those concepts. Two matters he wished the Council to consider were outlined. First, the matter of the hotel. He noted considerable discus- sion regarding bringing a hotel into the downtown area, and noted certain financial advantages such as taxes accruing. The Commission had discussed the matter and felt that the treatment given in scheme No.7 allows for such development. He noted a hotel could take considerable land space, and just because it was illustrated in the plan did not necessarily mean a hotel would be developed. He said it may be some years before such a hotel might be developed. However, it was the Commission's hope that a hotel would come in as soon as possible. The second matter regarded Willamette Street, with discussion ranging from leaving it in its present state to closing it off completely. The Commission would like some indication from Council as to what direc- tions could be given to the architect. 2/8/78--3 ,5 Jim Luckman, The Luckman Partnership, gave a brief review for Council of the study from beginning to its present concept of scheme No.7. He said the scheme only explains from a planning standpoint how the ~ concepts and elements could be placed on the site and what the bulk .... relationship might be in the design concepts. His staff could be pre- paring a rendered plan which would show where the elements would go and what it would actually look like. This would be done without addi- tional costs to the City and they would explain it to various groups. He noted one major change had been in the reduction of total gross footage from 66,000 to 47,000 in the convention hall. It was felt there was not a need for any more than 30,000 square feet for an exhibit hall as Lane County Fairgrounds was going to provide a much larger exhibit hall. He al so poi nted out what he termed "free form rooms", noti n9 the ERA study had shown the Eugene community demanded usage for informal meeting rooms and it was felt that these should be designed as relating to the outdoors. In answering a question from Ms. Smith regarding the height of the hotel, Mr. Luckman said it would be about 12 to 14 stories high. However, he noted that it could be shorter than a 12-story office building structure as story heights for office buildings are higher than for hotels. Mr. Lieuallen felt that Willamette Street was a very important element to the community, noting that it had traditionally been a north-south access and visually open to allow sight of both buttes. He felt that it should be kept open. It was general consensus of Council that Willamette Street should be kept visually open. Mr. Williams asked Mr. Luckman whether the proposed scheme No.7 would work better if Willamette Street were left as it is. Mr. Luckman said a traffic study was needed before much further planning could develop. 4It He said one problem existed in that both Oak and Olive streets were one- way streets going the same way. There are plans for 435 parking spaces underground for the facility. However, it's the feeling of the architects that if Willamette Street were closed, it should not be blocked. From an operational standpoint, he said it may not make any difference. His own feeling was that the street should be left open, but noted that could change after the traffic study is completed. Mr. Anderson noted the Commission felt Willamette Street was visually important and also very very important that it be kept open. Mr. Lieuallen cautioned Council that it should keep in mind that the pictures it was looking at would not be what the actual project will look like. He said there was a need to allow for the possibility of a hotel development through a flexible design, but not to assume there will be a hotel. He questioned whether or not the entire project had to be placed on the two blocks, and asked Mr. Poticha to express his feelings on this matter. Mr. Poticha said whether or not a hotel is located in the complex, the real issue is a sense of compactness. It is the hope of the architects to make the best use of the urban land by making the facilities as compact as. possible through the most effective land use. Mr. Lieuallen asked for clarification as to what the City Council was being asked to do. Mr. Anderson replied that the critical issue at this point regarded Willamette Street as this was vital to the architect's - 2/8/78--4 1t - future planning. As far as the hotel development was concerned, he said the whole issue speaks to compactness. He hesitated to bring in the hotel issue at this time as there is no insurance a hotel will even be developed there. However, in good planning, provisions should be made for such a development. Mr. Williams questioned the issue of Willamette Street being opened or closed. Mr. Luckman had said he would like a traffic study first. Mr. Williams wondered if Council should make a decision prior to that traffic study. Mr. Lieuallen said if Council assumed and wanted W;llamette Street to be visually opened, the architects can then go ahead on that basis. The matter of traffic circulation can be addressed after receiving a report from the traffic study. Mr. Luckman agreed that that would be workable. Mr. Hamel expressed concern in the development of the auditorium facili- ties, noting first it was for a civic auditorium and then a theatre was added. He hoped the architects would not reach the point of trying to save space that would wreck the whole concept, noting the reduction in footage. Mr. Luckman replied that the footage had been reduced because of the exhibit hall space. which would be provided at Lane County Fairgrounds. The other reduction came in reexamining the excessive amount of square footage allotted for lobbies. He said both facilities had space alloca- tion and equipment to allow them to be deluxe facilities. e Ms. Smith questioned a process regardinl) the public hearing scheduled February 13. There was some concurrenc(~ on the part of Counci 1 members as to whether a public hearing was really needed at this point in time. Mayor Kell er sai d it woul d afford Council the opportuni ty to openly declare that it has every intent of keeping Willamette Street open; also it could be noted the Council has not included the hotel complex in the same' packet. Council ors sti 11 wondered what deci si ons woul d be made and why a public hearing was necessary at the Monday meeting. Mr. Anderson explained that this was the point at which the public should be brought into the picture, noting the only other time the public had had input was on the site selection. The process being followed is: the Commission first screens suggestions, the Council then screens sugges- tions, and then a public hearing is held for public input. He said it was an attempt to try to avoid any surprises among the community as the project progresses. The Commission felt the public should be involved in every step of the process. He said this was one more step in the educa- tional process of the public and it was important that the public be aware that this is not a final plan. He felt the Council should go ahead with the public hearing. Mr. Delay suggested that perhaps a presentation would be better than holding a pUblic hearing. Mr. Anderson said that perhaps a public presentation or public report would be more appropriate. Public hearing connotates adversarial roles that might be adopted by Councilor the . 2/8/78--5 " public as appears often in debate and pUblic hearings. However, he reiteratec the main point for Council to consider was to bring the public up to date on what is happening with the project and to allow input from the public. - Betty Niven suggested the kind of criticism heard most often from the community is that people are not allowed to give input until a project has developed to such a point that decisions would be impossible to change. Council should consider whether it is making a decision that will retain public support, and this will be an opportunity for citizens to respond to the proposed development. The value of having the public presentation would be to have recognition from the public of the project, and to go on record that Wi 11 amette Street wi 11 stay open, with Willamette Street separating the publicly and privately financed developments. Manager noted that it had already been advertised and scheduled as a public hearing; however, the title that appears on the agenda could be changed to reflect a public discussion. Mr. Lieuallen said he did not want people to say they did not know or understand what is going on, noting this could be a reality check for Council. Mayor Keller agreed that it might be appropriate for Council to go on public record as being supportive of such things as keeping Willamette Street visually open. Mr. Obie ;tated that contrary to what was previously stated, Scheme 7 does not propose public development in the eastern block and private in the western; rather it simply allows for some private development as a hotel in a portion of the western block as a future possibility. e Short recess was taken. Mr. Haws left the meeting. III. CETA Proposals--Organization for Administering Programs in Relation to County Government. Memorandum on recommendations on economic goals of the City Council dated February 3, 1978, from Gary Long distributed to Council. Mr. Long explained this was really a follow-up and implementation of economic development through the use of CETA funds in the City. He reviewed for Council the memo by discussing the various items listed in the index of the memo. Under Item No. I--City Council and community goals on economic development and manpower programs: Mr. Long noted this was a variety of activities the City Council is involved in as they relate to economic development. He also tied them into the 1974 Community Goals statement. Under Item No. II--Eugene's labor market problems and poten- tial solution: Mr. Long said a very important statistic included in this section was the unemployment rate for Eugene was 8.4 percent; Oregon's rate was 7.6 percent; while the national rate is 6.5 percent. He said this pointed out some very real problems of unemployment in the area. 2/8/78--6 . 18 - However, another factor to be noted was the indication of data from November 1976 to 1977 showing there had been 8,100 new jobs created in the Eugene area, saying this was a healthy indacator. He noted Council should also be familiar with the notions regarding frictional employment, i.e., temporary unemployment of qualified workers; structural employment, i.e., prolonged unemployment experienced by poorly skilled or trained workers; and cyclical unemployment, i.e., an unemployment problem in single-industry type communities, e.g., the lumber market. These were important in terms of Council's looking at the kinds specific programs in which the City should be involved. e III--Local programs dealing with unemployment: Mr. Long reported the major local program is the Lane County CETA program, about $15 million. He said there are 4,600 participants directly employed in Lane County through CETA. Some assumptions he noted for Council were the probability of a disproportionate amount of employment in Eugene proper because the City has a good employment base. However, this was working against one of the community goals. He noted with respect to II and III the information was observation only, as there had been no staff available to gather research data. Continuing with IV, Current/past City-County relations on CETA program- ming: Mr. Long said the City has been a program agent; however, it may become a prime sponsor once the population reaches 100,000, allowing it to control directly Titles II and VI, approximately $3.5 million. Item V, current Lane County CETA program services--an evaluation: Mr. Long said he had used the County's own consultants' evaluation of the program, noting it could be much better and the City should be more active in assisting in that improvement. Item VI, City-County CETA policy and program relations: This section detailed the specific phase the program is now in, in terms of role, authority to be exercised, and timing considerations for the Council. Staff was recommending either a consor- tium with Lane County in an agreement spelling out a specific policy, or that the City pursue an independent program administration. Item VII, staff recommendations: Mr. Long said in addition to the last recommended statement above, the staff was recommending the following: 1) direct the staff to negotiate and implement contracts with Lane County setting forth interim program authority between the agencies, appropriate research projects to identify unemployed, and planning activities neces- sary to arrive at mature City participation in the County CETA program. In addition, once research is completed on the best manpower programs applicable to Eugene's unemployment problems, adopt and implement those programs in cooperation with Lane County. Ad~itionally, if cooperative program arrangements between the County and City are unsuccessful, staff should be directed to report back to the Council with specifc recommenda- tions for implementing independent City manpower programs. - 2/8/78--7 19 In response to a question from Mr. Lieuallen regarding statements on page 3, Mr. Long said 11-3 spoke to how the 8,100 new jobs had been generated. He said if the City has 8,100 new jobs in an economy con- taining 100,000 jobs, it should be noted that in-migration may be a ... prime contributor to the rate of unemployment. .., Regarding the distribution of funds between Titles I and III, Mr. Long said there were some specific monies to focus on offenders and handi- capped. The allocations are provided through the Department of Labor and are set by federal regulations and guidelines. It was noted that youth aged 14-2l are eligible for the youth programs. However, Mr. Long said there was some local discretion to focus on certain local problems, and added this was one reason why the City should be more actively involved. He noted Titles II and VI were funds for jobs for individual persons and services in public nonprofit services. Mr. Delay questioned the disproportionate amount per participant as shown on page 5 between monies in Title I and Title II and VI. Mr. Long explained Title I is a program where the staff is working with structurally unemployed and there is more extensive involvement with any given client. However, Titles II and VI are pass-through money wherein staff is much less involved because of the nature of the program. He noted in the City, there are 150 CETA employees with only three staff supervising. Ed Whitelaw, ECO, indicated it would be accurate to say it is not really known where those funds are going or how to measure the benefits accruing to the clients. He said for that reason, the interim arrangement would be a stop-gap measure to give the City and County a chance to bring the programs up to a level and make proper identification for future use of funds. He said the problem has to be clarified in terms of whether the unemployment problem ~ is more largely affected by in-migration or whether it is largely due to .., the chronically unemployed who would need compensatory help. Mayor Keller felt the key to the whole program was to know what was going on and it seemed the City simply did not have the information. He felt it certainly responsive and appropriate to adopt the staff recommen- dations in order to find out where the City is headed. Ms. Smith noted the City had been trying to be cooperative with Lan~ County, but the program had grown rapidly and the County simply did not have a handle on what was happening. However, the acting director of CETA is taking a reorganizational plan to the County Commissioners on Tuesday and she felt it woul d be most appropri ate for Council to take acti on today to make its wishes known. In response to a question from Mr. Obie regarding the historical trend, Mr. Long said the program was started in 1974 with Titles I and II being the basic components, at which time the City had 30-40 participants. The City now has 150 partipants. In regard to the future of the CETA program, Mr. Long said there probably would be il two to threefold increase in the next five years. The money comes to tile cities on the basis of a formula of unemployment and relative poverty level, noting that the formula may impact the City differently because of problems or health of the economy. 2/8/78--8 - 80 - Mr. Hamel expressed a concern in the City getting tied to CETA and then having those funds discontinued. Mr. Long said that the staff was not recommending a greater use of CETA employees to deliver City services, but rather CETA funds be used for economic development within the total community. The recommendation would be that the City not become any more dependent on CETA than it is already. He noted the federal program is self supporting and would not involve local tax dollars. Thus, the program can expand or contract as federal dollars come in. - Mr. Obie felt is was difficult to justify how healthy the program is to the community relative to the growth and in terms of the value received. He said it seemed part of the plan should be phased out of CETA in five years to eliminate dependency on those funds. Ms. Smith noted Mr. Long was trying to point out to City Council that the City should be more actively involved in decision making and conducting the research so that the City would be in a better position to make those decisions in the future. In responding to Mr. Obie, Mr. Long said that concern is precisely why the staff feels the City should be more directly involved. The federal money will be allocated and the City needs to be active in partici- pating with Lane County in the use of those funds. He said the formula and allocation are available and the question Council should ask is how does it want to shape the use of those allocations for its goals. Mr. Whitelaw noted a great flexibility at the local level in targeting the use of funds. He noted Eugene could refine the beneficiaries by limiting the allocations to perhaps the chronically unemployed residents, rather than those migrating in. Mr. Lieuallen wondered if it would be possible to direct money to other titles, noting a concern about the programs for youth and seniors. Mr. Long said allocation to various target groups is required in federal regulations. Beyond those federal regulations, however, the City can set local goals. Mayor Keller expressed appreciation for the information, noting it made the CETA program in which the City is involved more understandable to Council. He felt it imperative that the City take more responsibility. Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, to accept staff recom- mendations and direct the staff to carry those recommendations out. Motion carried unanimously. IV. Calling Public Hearings March 15, 1978, Re: Street and Easement Vacations C.B. 1601--Calling public hearing March 15, 1978, re: Street vacation located east of Wallis Street between West First Avenue and the Amazon Channel (Hult)(SV 77-5) was read by council bill number and title only, there being no Councilor present requesting it be read in full. Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, that the bill be read the second time by council bill number only, with unanimous consent of the Council, and that enactment be considered at this time. Motion carried unanimously and the bill was read the second time by council bill number only. - ~ 2/8/78--9 g. Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, 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 18110. C.B. 1602--Calling public hearing March 15, 1978, re: Street vacation located north of Beltline Road between Erin Way and Coburg Road (Willona Drive)(SV 77-12) was read by council bill number and title only, there being no Councilor present requesting it be read in full. - Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, that the bill be read the second time by council bill number only, with unanimous consent of the Council, and that enactment be considered at this time. Motion carried unanimously and the bill was read the second time by council bill number only. Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, 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 18111. C.B. 1603--Calling public hearing March 15, 1978, re: Easement vacation located along the northerly margin of Beltline Road between Coburg Road and Gilham Road rSlocum){EV 77-9) was read by number council bill and title only, there being no Councilor present requesting it be read in full. Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, that the bill be read the second time by council bill number only, with unanimous consent of the Council, and that enactment be considered at this time. Motion carried unanimously and the bill was read the second time by council bill number only. - Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, 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 18112. v. Liquor License Change of Ownership Lincoln Street Market, 295 West 17th (PS), from John Mueller to John Walker and Joan McGhee. Manager said all papers were in order and staff recommended approval. Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, to forward with approval to OLCC. Motion carried unanimously. - 2/8/78--10 g~ .,. VI. Improvement Petitions Res. No. 2829--Initiating process for street paving, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer construction to serve Anne Plat and sanitary sewer construction to serve within 160 feet of the north and south boundary of Anne Plat (1440) was read by number and title. Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, to adopt the resolution. Motion carried unanimously. . Res. No. 2830--Initiating process for storm sewer construction to serve Tom's Plat (1479) was read by number and title. Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, ~o adopt the resolution. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Williams left the meeting. VII. Adoption of Concepts of Revised JHC Bylaws Proposed bylaws distributed. Manager noted City Code changes would need to preceed Bylaw changes. The basic change in the Bylaws is under Article IV, Section 2, page 4, which, as proposed, specifies three members to be a quorum and, if one should leave, the Committee would be able to continue to conduct business. An error was noted in the section pertaining to amendments, as City Council mllst approve amendments. This section simply can be eliminated. .. Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, to approve the revised JHC Bylaws in concept. Mr. Delay wondered about the change of quorum, noting a meeting could end up with one person making decisions. Betty Niven explanined under Fasano procedures, often the City Council representative or Planning Commissioner cannot ta~e part in making decisions, or it could be a public member might have a conflict of interest. This change would clearly indicate that any recommendation coming from the JHC on the basis of two votes would alert the Council as to the reason. Vote was taken on the motion, which carried unanimously. VIII. Adoption of Concepts of Revised CDC Bylaws Revised bylaws distributed. Manager noted the request to expand public membership from three to five members due to difficulty in obtaining meeting quorum of four. .Mr. Delay explained the request for expanded membership came as a result of having only four members on the Committee because one was on a leave of absence, and a quorum of four was needed. The same Fasano problems as occur with JHC occur in CDC, and this would provide a vehicle for more workable Committee solutions. He noted the Committee dealt with over $1 million of allocations and seven members would be workable. . Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, to approve the con- cepts of the revised CDC bylaws. Motion carried unanimously. 2/8178--11 13 ,. IX. Housing Opportunity Plan: City Representative on L-COG to Receive Direction from Council. L-COG Housing Report distributed. Manager noted the plan had been developed by L-COG staff in accordance with federal regulations and standards, with the overall purpose to facilitate obtaining more money for housing assistance programs to better meet area-wide needs of moderate- to low-income families. . Jon Mills-Erickson, Planning, said the Planning Commission and Joint Housing Committee had a joint meeting on January 16, and recommended that the City direct its delegate to L-COG to vote for approval of the plan, and for the City to go on record as agreeing with the plan. He noted the goals on page 5 and 6, and the implementation plan on pages 7 and 8. Both Lane County and Springfield have agreed to the goals and implementation measures, and it was hoped that the City of Eugene would also agree. Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, to agree to the Housing Opportunity Plan as presented by L-COG. Motion carried unanimously. X. Approval of Minutes Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, to approve Council minutes of February 1, 1978, roll call vote. Moti on carri ed unanimously. Item VII as shown on the agenda--Highway 99 Improvement Project--was held over to the February 15, 1978, meeting. XI. Public Hearing Scheduled February 13, 1978 A. Quasi-Judicial Hearings 1.
