HomeMy WebLinkAbout05/31/1978 Meeting - M I NUT E S EUGENE CITY COUNCIL May 31, 1978 Adjourned meeting from May 24, 1978, 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., May 31, 1978, King's Table, Oakway Mall, with the following Councilors present: Ray Bradley, Tom Williams, Eric Haws, Jack Delay, Scott Lieuallen, Brian Obie, and Betty Smith. Councilor D. W. Hamel was absent. e I. Items From Mayor and Council A. Elections, June 27--Ms. Smith noted the fliers regarding the civic center bond measure for the budget election. Copies are available for Councilors to distribute. She also reminded Council of the Budget Committee meeting Friday, June 2, in the McNutt Room. B. Status of Metro Plan Update--Mr. Lieuallen requested same. His major concern regarded the urban service boundary. Mr. Bradley said Gary Chenkin, Project Director, is in a position to give a status report to Council any time in June. June 28, the plan will be available to the jurisdictions, but it will not have the urban service boundary diagram included. That process will start in late June or early July. It was affirmed by Council that Mr. Chenkin would be requested to present his report June 14. C. Council Goal Session--Manager said the June 9 date was in question, as it was impossible to find a facilitator. Council will decide at Wednesday's June 7 meeting on a later date for the Council Goal Session. D. Field Burning--Stan Long, City Attorney, reviewed a four-page memo- randum distributed to Council summarizing developments following last Wednesday's presentation. The City presented its report to the EQC meeting Friday, with the EQC acting on the matter that day. He said staff felt it appropriate for the City Council to forward comments to the EPA to formally notify them of the City's position on the EQC Control Strategy. The Commission basically accepted essential points which dealt with backburning, smoke management, moisture control, and acreage release systems, with some modifications in the three areas. They proposed a moisture control limit of 15 percent on straw; City urged a limitation of 12 percent, which was adopted by amendment during the hearing. The Commission added a requirement that this limitation would be waived if it appeared that more than half - 5/31/78--1 ~6' of the fields normally burned could not meet the limitation. The City had also proposed that one perennial grass (bent grass) be backburned and strip-lighted along with the annuals. There was concern about possible damage to the crop, and the Commission made the backburning of this perennial discretionary with the staff. The Commission also made two modifications to the acreage release system: That if extremely high ventilation days existed after the cutoff, burning could occur; also, the Commission addressed the problem of possible inequity for growers of late crops if the 150,000 cutoff was required because the expected improvement did not occur. The City proposed 15,000-acre discretionary amount be available if necessary, and urged that the Commission accept a further qualification to the effect that they not exercise their discretion unless 120,000 acres had been burned by August 15. Mr. Long noted usually 60,000 to 80,000 acres had been burned by that time. Mr. Long felt the 1978 Control Strategy should receive Council's approval and formal notification be sent to the state and federal agencies. However~ before Council took action on the matter, he wanted to make it clear that approving this control strategy does not guarantee no smoke in Eugene this summer. There will be smoke, but it may be from field burning and/or slash burning. However, he felt the measures recommended were practical alternatives to what has happened in the- past, a new approach of relating field burning to air quality. He said additional resources and attention are needed for improving efficiency of the state's meteorological rapid reporting system, and suggested Council stress this concern to the state. Concern was also expressed regarding the emission monitoring program. Many future actions will be based on data obtained this summer. It is essential that the monitoring system be as accurate and complete as possible. The staff felt more needs to be done to improve the system and sug- gested Council urge the state to consider bolstering their efforts in this critical area. Mr. Long continued that the meetings and negotiations recently held with the representatives of the grass seed industry did not produce a joint agreement, but there were beneficial aspects to the discus- sions. He suggested the City continue to combine talents in the area rather than work separately or in opposition, therefore estab- lishing a better relationship with the increase in contacts. It was suggested an effort by the City be made to establish some meetings between members of the Oregon Grass Seed Council and the Eugene City Council. In conclusion, Mr. Long said the recommendations were received by the EQC and staff suggested Council notify state and federal agencies that it approves the 1978 Interim Control Strategy; that it suggest the EQC be formally advised of the need for greater resources and effort to be spent on the rapid reporting and emission monitoring systems; and that an effort be made at both staff and governing body levels to continue direct contacts between the City of Eugene and the grass seed industry. 5/31/78--2 ~o~ - . - e e e M In response to a question from Mr. Lieuallen, Mr. Long said he did not see many diffi cul ti es in enforcement. He said there are thos'e who are irresponsible, but he thought that most of the seed farmers were responsible and will obey the law. They may challenge it in court, but will eventually abide by the law. Regarding the moisture control, he said this would be difficult to enforce. It will depend on voluntary compliance and examples made of those who do not comply. Mr. Bradley moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, to approve the report. Mr. Delay said he thought it important that Council recognize it has entered a new era in terms of dealing with this problem. The negoti- ations and discussions resulting in this program are much more rea- sonable, rational, and Objective in dealing with the situation. He said this was a way to deal with the air quality problem wtHh the participation of major contributers to that problem. He felt the main difficulty that had worked against the City and seed growers in coming to an agreement was the limited time. Also, he said Council should not feel at odds with the industry to the extent that has been .evidenced in the past. As this interim solution shows, the groups can cooperate. Vote was taken on the motion which carried unanimously. , F. CDC Finalists--Votes were taken for interviewing the finalists, for three vacancies on the CDC Committee. Those selected were: Rosemary Boss. 1730 Minda Drive; Gary DuTell, 1940 East 28th; Douglas Keep. 2908 McKendrick; Ellen Maddox, 2570 Van Ness; Dewey Newman, 2040 Hawkins Lane; Jan Newton, 1332 Lawrence; David Raines, 2245 Monterey; and Jonathan Stafford, 1060 Madison. Interviews will be held Wed- nesday, June 14, 4:30 p.m. in the McNutt Room. G. Minorities Commission--Memo from Council President and Vice President regarding appointments distributed. II. Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, to approve the appoint- ments: Elizabeth Yasuda, 2206 Patterson, for a term ending 1/1/81; Leroy George, 1606 Columbia, for a term ending 1/1/80; alternates Victoria Wallace, 2133 Kincaid; and Chip Lazenby, 1630 High Street. Motion carried unanimously. Human Rights Staffing, 1978-79 Budget Priority No. 61--Memo distributed. Manager noted this item had been deleted by the Budget Committee, with agreement by Council at a meeting two weeks ago to discuss at this time. One of the concerns is circumventing the traditional budget procedure. Assistant Manager noted the situation before Council was that it needed to consider either restoring a position or making a major revamp of the organizational structure of the commissions. He directed Council's attention to the staff time as presented in the memo, which showed 61 percent was occupied by the commissions, with the remainder in the areas of legal obligations and general services to people coming into the 5/31/78--3 Lf03 community. It was noted these last items would be increasing. Staff felt that Council's approach taken seven months ago in giving the commissions a ~ challenge to prepare goals and objectives, with Council review of those at .., the end of one year to be sound. The commissions are working from October to October, and Council could expect review of those goals by late December. However, the commissions feel they need staff time to accomplish their goals. He noted if Council felt it must follow the Budget Committee's recommendations, there will be a major reorganizational effort, creating many problems for the commissons. Many commissions may no longer exist, with two major ones left, thus resulting in the problem of finding people to work on them, and the tendency of those to break off into composite groups seeking additional staff assistance. George Russell, spokesperson for the Human Rights Council and the five human rights commissions, requested reinstatement of the third human rights position. He said Council had demonstrated its support and commit- ment to the human rights commissions since 1966. He said commissions could not be, and should not be, expected to reach their optimum levels overnight. In June 1977, the first annual report was presented to Council, at which time concerns were expressed about their structure. Subsequently, an assessment process had been established with goals and objectives set up by each commission. The commissions understood at that time that these goals and objectives would be the basis for evaluating the efficiency of the human rights structure one year later. They felt that the restructuring that would come from the elimination of this position would be premature and wholly inappropriate at this time. The elimination of this position would be a back-door evaluation of the human rights commissions. It was suggested the position be maintained until at least 4It such time as the evaluation of the commissions is completed. - Others speaking in favor of the reinstatement of the third position were Don Chalmers, Youth Commission; Therese Engelmann, President, Women's Commission; Bob Blizzard, Handicapped Commission; and Carolina Murillo, Minorities Commission. Each stressed the need for the commissions to continue their year~~ outline of meeting t~ir goals and objectives in order to have a fair evaluation by Council of the effectiveness of the human rights commissions. Mr. Bradley moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, to restore the third human rights position to the 1978-79 buqget, and incorporate Option 2 as recommended by staff. In response to a question from Mr. Obie, Mr. Bradley said the intent of his motion was to reinstate the position, whether or not the budget is increased. Manager noted the property tax levy would not be affected. Assistant Manager said there would be a hearing June 26, with more up-to- date information on the budget and some changes coming at that time. Options for Council would be to add $17,600 with revenue adjustments that way or may not be coming; or shift funds within the budget itself. - 5/31/78--4 ~O~ - A vote was taken on the motion, which carried with all Councilors present voting aye, except Obie and Williams voting no. Mr. Obie explained his "no" vote. He felt the arguments made to rein- state the position were very valid. However, he felt Mr. Bradley's intent to be irresponsible in not caring how the budget may be affected. He felt Council had taken a position of changing long months of work by the Budget Committee and felt it could have been handled better. Mr. Lieuallen requested information as to the Parks Maintenance posi- tions. He had ridden his bicycle through the park and felt it was neces- sary and responsible for the City to maintain and keep the parks in good condition. Manager said there was not sufficient information from the Parks Department to present to Council at this time. The option for acting on that will be at the hearing held June 26. III. Transfers of Appropriations--Memo and resolutions distributed. Manager said this does not increase the budget, but is readjusting items in the present budget using various accounts that have not been expended. He noted in Resolution 2923, the most important item was authorization for the remodeling of City Hall I. Res. No. 2922--Authorizing transfer of non-contingency appropriations within a given fund between programs and/or object groups was read by number and title. e Mr. Bradl ey moved, seconded by Mr. Del ay, to adopt the resol u- tion. Roll call vote. Motion carried unanimously. Res. No. 2923--Authorizing transfer of appropriations from General Fund to General Capital Projects Fund and authorizing appropriations in the General Capital Projects Fund was ready by number and ti tl e. Mr. Bradley moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, to adopt the resolu- tion. Roll call vote. Motion carried unanimously. IV. Code Amendment: Weed and Grass Control--Ordinance distributed. Manager said the new ordinance was directed to controlling one major area of concern, that being obnoxious vegetation growing on developed and undeveloped lots. Under the present code, the program is directed mainly to undeveloped lots from June 15 to September 30. Major concern is increasing about the many improved properties and their affect on adja- cent property. The ordinance is directed to allowing year-round enforce- ment of the same standards on developed lots but retaining the seasonal limits for undeveloped lots. The City can require front yards to be cut within a certain height (ten inches). It would be administered by HCC, Housing Inspectors. Paul Osborn and Ray Willard were available to answer questions. e 5/31/78--5 '+05 Ray Willard, HCC, explained the City would request the weeds be cut by ~ the property owner; if they were not cut, the ordinance would allow ~ the City to do it and bill the owner. Don Allen, Public Works Director, said ads are now being run in the paper that the minimum charge is $38 per hour if the City does the cutting. The City does encourage property owners to do their own cutting, with the City doing it only as a last resort. C.

Mr. Bradley moved seconded by Mr. Delay, to adopt the resolu- tions. Motion carried unanimously. e. VI. OLCC Response--Memo distributed. Manager noted distribution of the testimony Assistant Manager had presented at the recent task force meeting on OLCC. Council could now make additions or suggestions for inclu- sion; then a formal statement would be forwarded to the Commission. Mr. Obie wondered where the position was developed that the City opposes the general liquor store outlets, as opposed to state-controlled liquor stores. Assistant Manager said that was a statement on the part of the staff, noting the police's chief concern of the increase in probable crimes, robberies, and personal injuries that come with that type of situation. Also, it was noted the State has long-term trained employees thus eliminating possible violation of liquor laws within the private sector. The State allows operation under strict controls, but does subcontract with private owners. Mr. Williams suggested two additions. He would like to see more stores in areas like Eugene, and wanted the quota criteria abolished. He felt ~ the only question necessary was whether or not that the applicant obeyed ~ the law. Assistant Manager clarified that it was difficult for the staff to strongly support either quota system or an open market system. If there were no quota system, the probability of businesses failing would increase. However, staff did feel if the OLCC was going to use criteria, it should be announced ahead of time so that everyone would know the rules. Mr. lieuallen suggested some changes. The quota system should be expanded, noting a person should have the opportunity to fail in business and that shoul d not be a ~ity concern. Also, he wi.shed to see the Board expanded in number and use of a more open meeting forum; that the City's recommenda- tion should be given more weight; that there should be more green fronts; that there should be longer hours; and the enforcement element should be reconsidered to be made more professional, less arbitrary and intimidating, perhaps moved outside the OLCC. Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Mr. Williams, to accept the recom- mendations as outlined by staff with the following additions: 1. The quota system should be eliminated; 2. Outlets and hours should be expanded; -- 5/31/78--8 '+08 - 3. The Board should do its business in a more open manner; and 4. Enforcement procedures should be reviewed. Motion carried unanimously~ A short recess was taken. VII. Canvass of election Results Mayor Keller read a proclamation indicating the results of the election hel d May 23, 1978. It was as follows: Total Yes vote for Measure No. 51--22,898 Total No vote against Measure No. 51--13,427 votes Council Ward 1--Jim Johnston, 717 Bob Lyford, 1,617 Emily Schue, 2,422 Council Ward 4--Doug McKay, 1,461 Gretchen Miller, 1,581 Council Ward 5--D.

W. Hamel received majority of votes cast for Wards 1, 4, and 5, and their names will appear on the City ballot in the November 1978 general election. No Council candidate having received a majority of votes for Ward 6 Council position, the names of Ted Brandt and Eric Haws will be placed on a City ballot November 1978 general election. John Bartels will appear on the City ballot November 1978 as the candi- date for Wards 4 and 5 for EWEB. Jack Craig's name will appear on the City ballot in the November 1978 general election as the candidate-at- large position for EWEB. Mr. Delay was pleased to announce his ward had supported Ballot Measure No. 51. He had a question regarding the necessity of a Council candidate having his name placed on the November ballot again, after he had received a majority in the primary election. He wondered if there was any action 5/31/78--9 /.f 0' ~ that could clarify this procedure. Mr. Long said it was a requirement of State law and it would be necessary to be addressed in the State ~ Legislature. State regulations set the time of the election as formally .., electing in the general election held in November. VIII. EWEB Transactions Res.

Approval of Minutes Mr. Bradley moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, to approve Council minutes May 24, 1978. Roll call vote. Motion carried unani- mously. XI. Port District Discussion--Memo distributed. e Manager noted Council's receipt of a letter from the Economic Development Commission stating approval of the application for the METROPORT for the Lane County area. It will be referred to Lane County and then to the various cities in the county. In the meantime, it was hoped that discus- sions would take place between those interested for exchanging information, but no Council action was required at this point. Regarding the process for Council, Mr. Porter said the legislation that authori~es dry land ports and special service districts are constructed differently, and it was not sure what the process would be. He noted the staff had been meeting with the Chamber of Commerce people interested in the port district to determine why they felt a port district is important for this area, and discussing their proposal. It will be September or later before the proposal is presented to Lane County, and he noted it may be in a different form than the one presented to the Economic Development Commission (EDC) at the state level. He did not know the exact process, but generally speaking, he said the City would have to agree to the formation of a port district but did not know what format that would be. At this point, the State Economic Development Commission has approved the concept of a METROPORT that could be submitted to Lane County this fall. He noted the staff has been against the formation of a port district, but could not discuss it further until more details were received. John Amundsen, Eugene Chamber of Commerce, said the EDC had given authority for the joint Eugene/Springfield Port Steering Committee to pursue the port district in the area. The maximum boundaries would be the school district boundaries. The process is covered by two state statutes: 1) The act in formation of ports, and 2) ORS 198 et al, referring to special districts. It would be necessary to collect a petition 'with 20,000 signatures and present it to Lane County, who would approve it or submit it for an election approval. The request to Eugene would be to allow that election to occur. He noted additional information was being gathered by contacting other port districts in Oregon to see what their working relationship is with the various jurisdictions. Betty Smith expressed gratitude that the Chamber of Commerce and Planning Department staffs were working together, and that the Joint Steering Committee is developing information from other port districts in the state. She had a paper regarding the port districts prepared by Pat Lynch, and would share with Council. Staff will keep Council apprised of further developments. - 5/31/78--11 '+/1 , VII. Mr. Bradley'sReport On L-COG Action on Economic Improvement Commission Mr. Bradley explained for Council the recent action taken by L-COG at ~ its May 25 meeting regarding the Economic Improvement Commission. He clarified for Council there were two weighted votes: One as listed in the Economic Improvement Commission by-laws, and one as listed in the L-COG membership by-laws. At its recent meeting, there were not enough votes to approve the EIC: Only Eugene, Lane County, and Lowell. The reasons others would not approve were that they were not in favor of the by-laws in giving a weighted vote to allow Eugene one vote per 1,000 population; and the funding ratio was unfair. Mr. Bradley suggested Eugene would give up its weighted vote in the by-laws to get the EIC approved. Lane County would be willing to fund the total amount for the first year. This passed by a vote of 8-7, with the seven abstaining because of the change in the by-laws and necessity to discuss with their jurisdictions. The result of this, as noted by Mr. Bradley, was that Council would have to reconsider this month the by-laws for the EIC without the weighted vote and decide whether or not it can instruct its delegate to use its weighted vote of L-COG to pass the EIC in June. He noted this would be the first time in history the weighted vote for L-COG board member would be used. Very serious effects could result in the area of cooperation between those on L-COG. Mr. Delay said he felt the weighted vote good insurance to protect the interests of Eugene as a jurisdiction. However, he did not favor use of the weighted vote just to get our own way. Mr. Porter explained the federal government regulations were the basis for the "one man, one vote" in estab 1 i shi ng L-COG. However, he noted the weighted vote was necessary to give those jurisdictions with a major proportion of population an equal amount of say it needed in L-COG. He also noted Eugene contributes financially on a population basis. Mr. Obie felt Eugene had a responsibility to be represented on an equal basis, but felt the weighted vote should not be used on L-COG just to get our own way. - Mr. Bradley also noted if the County funds the first year for an EIC, it would retain veto power, which would be unacceptable to him. The matter will come before Council some time in June. Upon motion duly made, seconded, and passed, the meeting was adjourned to June 7, 1978. ~)~ Charles T.
