HomeMy WebLinkAbout02/28/1979 Meeting e M I NUT E S EUGENE CITY COUNCIL February 28, 1979 Adjourned meeting from February 26, 1979, of the City Council of the City of Eugene, Oregon, was called to order by His Honor Mayor Gus Keller, 11:45 a.m., February 28, 1979, in the City Council Chamber, with the following Council members present: Jack Delay, Betty Smith, Eric Haws, Scott Lieua11en, Gretchen Miller, and Emily Schue; Councilors D. W. Hamel and Brian Obie were absent. e I. Items from Mayor and Council A. National League of Cities Policy Committees--Mr. Delay said the Policy Committees had been reorganized from seven to five. He has been asked to serve as a member of the Natural Resources Steering Committee, which includes energy and environmental issues. Hopefully, he will be able to bring the concerns regarding the Wastewater Treatment Plan to that committee in Washington, D.C. this week. B. Legislation Regarding Smoking--Emily Schue noted Council's discussion and subsequent referral of HB 2276 to the Legislative Subcommittee from Council IS February 21 meeting. She understood the Legislative Subcommittee had not acted. The Legislature had a hearing yesterday and a work session scheduled tomorrow on the bill. She felt the Council should make some statement that could be used for the work session tomorrow. Manager noted there 'were several bills regarding this particular issue. He said written material had been received regarding HB 2276, but when the Legislative Subcommittee met last Thursday, it did not have the bill. The Subcommittee wished to take no position until it had time to read the bill. Ms. Smith understood that modifications in the bill were being sugges- ted in Salem. She felt that Council should take a position of suppor- ting prohibiting smoking in public areas. Mr. Haws favored the Council's making a policy statement regarding prohibiting smoking. He noted his position would be to prohibit smoking whenever two persons met. However, he felt the Council should at least forbid smoking in public meetings and public work spaces. - Ms. Schue moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, that the City of Eugene support a policy banning smoking in public places. including work places, such as public meetings, restaurants, and other public places. Ms. Miller thought smoking was a kind of activity that should be done in private between consenting adults. She had read the bill and favored it. She felt the motion generally reflected the intent of the bill. Ms. Schue noted that the enforcement of such a bill would come under the area of health regulations. 2/28/79--1 [23 In subsequent discussion, Mr. Delay suggested deleting the word "banning" and inserting "providing smoke-free environment through whatever mechanisms necessary." Ms. Schue, with consent of the second, agreed to insert that language in her motion. The motion read: liThe City of Eugene supports a policy of provi- ding a smoke-free environment through whatever mechanisms necessary for public places, including work places, public meetings, restau- rants, etc." - Vote was taken on the motion, which carried unanimously. Ms. Schue requested that position be conveyed to Paget Engen before the work session Thursday at 1:30. Mr. Delay requested, since this was a policy statement of the City, that other City boards, commis- sions, and committees be made aware of the policy. C. Jet Boats on Willamette River--Mr. Lieuallen had reviewed correspon- dence of various groups regarding the issue, and had reviewed the goals regarding Greenway use. It seemed the State was saying that unless the City does something, nothing will be done. Conversely, the City was saying unless the State did something, nothing would be done. He felt the Council had an obligation and the authority to take action on the matter. He proposed Council take some action to regulate the number and kinds of activities that take place from a dock that is in the Greenway and within the city limits. He was not necessarily proposing eliminating activities currently on the river, but wanted Council discussion as to whether it should establish some city authority ~ over activities and try to control others. ~ Ms. Smith noted she had requested Council Assistants to prepare that particular information for her. Other Councilors had not had the advantage of reading that information. She felt it premature to ask Council to further discuss and take action at this time, when other Councilors had not had the opportunity to review the materials. She requested that Mr. Lieua11en consider delaying until the staff and Council had had time to review the material. Mr. Lieua11en requested the item be placed on an agenda and directed staff to circulate the materials to Council. Mr. Delay requested that information be included as to who owns the property, where the dock attaches to land, and who owns or regulates objects that go into the river off public land. D. Citizen Involvement Committee--Mayor Keller nominated Emily Schue and Gretchen Miller as the two Councilors to serve on the committee. Mr. Delay moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, to approve the appointments. Motion carried unanimously. e .2/28/79--2 I'2..Lt E. Emeraency Medical Service Policy Stu~ Committee--Mayor Keller nomi- nate Jack Delay for appofntment. - Mr. Delay moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, to approve the appoint- ment. Motion carried unanimously. Zoning Board of Appeals--Mayor Keller appointed Dr. Robert Glass, 2186 University, for an unexpired term ending January 1, 1982. F. G. COUNCIL MEETINGS CANCELLED--March 7 and 21. H. Lane Economic Improvement Commission--Mayor Keller nominated Eric Haws as Eugene's representative. Mr. Delay moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, to approve the appointment. Motion carried, with all Councilors present voting aye, except Mr. Haws voting no. II. Routine Items For Council Approval A. -Council Minutes February 21, 1979 Mr. Delay moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, to approve minutes as noted. Motion carried unanimously. e B. Legislative Subcommittee Minutes February 22, 1979--Manager noted a split vote on SJR 7 and HB 2344. SJR 7 would set an election to amend the Oregon Constitution. Motor vehicle taxes would be used only for the purpose of highway improvements. The staff was also split on recommending approval or opposition. Mr. Obie supported the bill as written. Ms. Smith supported the League's position, which was to support the bill except that money returned to local governments should be used within present guidelines, which would allow local governments to determine to what extent the money could be used outside highway improvements. Mr. Haws opposed the bill. Ms. Smith was not opposed to park improvements, but saw a strong need for highway improvements. Mr. Haws simply did not want to change the present system. Ms. Smith moved, seconded by Ms. Schue, that Council support SJR 7 as modified by the League of Oregon Cities, retaining local control over monies received. e Ernie Drapela, Acting Parks Director, said a departure from current procedure will have a significant impact on the City. He said the City has benefited significantly from the present funding procedures. Currently included in those funding procedures are the Willamette Greenway, State bike paths, State police funding, and scenic river funding. These projects would be jeopardized if the current system were changed. Also, these projects would have to compete with all other services for State general funds. He also would take issue with some interpretations of the reasons for defeats of previous tax measures to be used for the State highway improvements. 2/28/79--3 IZ5 Vote was taken on the motion, which failed, with Councilors Smith and Schue voting aye; Haws, Delay, Miller, and Lieual1en voting no. Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, to oppose SJR 7. Vote was taken on the motion, which carried, with Haws, Delay, Lieual1en, and Miller voting aye; Smith and Schue voting no. HB 2344 would establish defenses for teachers sued for failure to educate students in classes with disadvantaged or handicapped pupils. Manager noted there was a 2:1 vote to oppose, with Mr. Haws supporting the bill. He said Council could oppose the bill and allow the Handi- capped Commission to make its own statement. - Ms. Smith moved, seconded by Mr. Lieuallen, to oppose HB 2344. Mr. Haws said because he supported the bill,did not mean he opposed education for the handicapped. He understood the bill was not whether or not handicapped people should be educated. He felt that if there was a problem with a handicapped person getting correct education, that person should sue the school district only and not the teacher. Mr. Delay was against the motion. He felt the City should not take a position, but allow the Handicapped Commission to draft its own state- ment, as they were in a better position to assess the bill. Ms. Miller did not understand the grounds for suit. She said it seemed to be most peculiar that a bill is establishing defense against types of suit that do not seem to be in existence. Vote was taken on the motion, which carried with all Councilors ~ present voting aye, except Delay and Haws voting no. Mr. Delay moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, to approve Legislative Subcommittee minutes February 22, 1979, as amended by the above action. Motion carried unanimously. III. Lane Economic Improvement Commission--Draft resolution distributed. Manager said the request came from L-COG, requesting the City to reaffirm its support of the Lane EIC. Res. No. 3085--Endorsing the Lane County Economic Improvement Commission and approving Eugene's membership, was read by number and title. Mr. Delay moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, to adopt the resolution. Mr. Haws would feel more comfortable if the resolution stated endorsement until June 30, 1979. At that time the City would have to commit some funds. Mr. Delay, with consent of the second, included in the motion that the endorsement would be in effect until June 30, 1979. 2/28/79--4 ~ 12b Vote was taken on the motion, which carried unanimously. e IV. Discussion of Presentation to Oregon Congressional De1egation--Memos distributed. A. Metro Treatment Plant EPA funding Manager reviewed the memorandum. He said in 1972, Congress passed the Clean Water Act which established national policy to clean water of the United States within ten years. The cities and counties were ordered to achieve clean water standards by that date, or be subject to penalties. Congress then authorized Federal matching funds of 3:1 with local funds. Funding was to cover a 10-year period. The allocations started in 1973, but by 1979, inflation had taken its toll. He noted the appropriations that followed had dropped from 1978 to the present. He reviewed the amounts of money from the memorandum. A percentage formula distribution (1.2974 percent funding for Oregon) of the total national appropriation was assigned. e Regarding the local action, he said a district was formed, plans were developed, and voter approval was gained for the building of a treat- ment plant, based on the Federal mandate that, otherwise, the area would suffer penalties. A $29.5 million bond issue was passed. Since then, EPA has been dropping the appropriations allocated for Oregon. Thus, the project has not proceeded. He noted prepurchase authoriza- tions for equipment have already been written. If the allocation to Oregon is reduced, the project will be delayed, with inflation forcing higher costs for construction. Then local, State, or Federal funds will have to be found. He said this was a very serious breach of contract on the part of the Federal government. Two areas of strategy were suggested: 1) Ask for more appropriations, or 2) ask for a reallocation of funds. He noted the EPA has never reallocated funds among the states. Some states have not spent their allocations, but the request for reallocations could be made to allow the states who are on time to proceed with their projects without being penalized. William Pye, Manager, Wastewater Treatment Commission, said it is very difficult to plan and schedule such a large project when the amount of money to be used is not. known and cannot be depended upon. Anything the Council can do to put pressure to get the appropriations up to the authorization would be extremely helpful. He noted five other states were in the same position as Oregon (have no carryover funds from previous years), and would get that information to the Manager. e Ms. Smith felt that it might be more difficult to try to achieve reallocation than reappropriation of funds. Mr. pye noted the EPA, in their FY 180 budget, did indicate they were going to ask for an exten- sion of the two-year to three-year period of reallocated uncommitted funds. Mr. Delay felt the unal10cated funding mechanism for arguing for reducing appropriations has been done very selectively. EPA has been one of the smallest offenders, as compared to the Defense Depart- ment. He felt it to be an unwise and inequitable policy. 2/28/79--5 127 Mr. Pye noted that Springfield had passed a resolution and L-COG had written a letter to Senator Hatfield. He would supply Council with a copy of the resolution. Mr. Haws left the meeting. B. Revenue Sharing Manager noted this would be a major topic for discussion at the NLC, and Council would probably receive a great deal of briefing on strategy. He reviewed the memo distributed. Federal revenue sharing funds make up about 10 percent of the City's $27 million annual operating budget. If that money were reduced, it would put the City at a disadvantage with resulting cuts in services and higher property taxes. - Ms. Smith requested a breakdown regarding services or actual uses of revenue sharing funds and the impact if those were reduced. Manager noted they would have to be stated in general terms. Loren Stubbert, Finance Administration, noted the Federal revenue sharing funds were used as a general resource, and distribution to departments was somewhat arbitrary for administrative purposes. Staff will provide such a breakdown for Council before the NLC meeting. Mayor Keller wondered if the 10 percent of general operating budget was a higher or lower figure compared to other cities of the same size ~ as Eugene. Manager said it would compare relatively the same. He ~ said revenue sharing monies have not increased with the rate of inflation and have become a smaller part of most operating budgets in the last few years. Prior to the last few years, the funds were used for major capital improvements. He noted the 10 percent would com- prise the total priority list of last year. Mr. Delay said the revenue sharing monies represent an alternative to local property taxes. He said it was one way to return the massive outflow of money to the Federal government back into the community, and felt it would be a major loss to the community if those funds were cut back. Mayor Keller felt that Eugene did pay a considerably higher portion of property taxes than others. On the other hand, historically, Oregon has received less than most states. He felt that point should be made to the Congressional delegation. Mr. Stubbert noted a main concern expressed by some congressmen regarding Federal revenue sharing had been the lack of strings attached to the program. Some congressmen seemed to have serious reservations about giving local governments the freedom to use Federal revenue sharing monies. e 2/28/79--6 l28 - e e C. Federal Aid For Local Transportation Facilities Manager reviewed the memorandum distributed. The Department of Transportation and the Federal government have mandated the City develop a plan for transportation system, both mass transit and others, including bikes and pedestrian paths. The City has gone to a great deal of trouble and work to develop such a plan. Now th~ major elements are not going to be achievable unless the Federal government makes it possible by financing them. The plan had to be produced to even receive mass transit grants. Now the City does have a plan, but the major elements cannot be implemented without Federal funding. He identified the three major areas of concern. The first area identified was the east-west corridor. He noted, the Federal government has recommended $7.2 billion in highway aid, with half to go to interstate system and half to many other programs, including improving existing streets or building light-rail transit lines. The City's position is to encourage more emphasis on primary highway funding. The second area noted was the Ferry Street Bridge. There is a bridge replacement program, but most monies are tagged for bridges in unsafe conditions. The Ferry Street Bridge is sound and safe, but is grossly overloaded. The emphasis would be to encourage a change in the pOlicy to give more priority funding to overcrowded bridge conditions. The third area was ground transportation, with the City's position being to ask that these funds be appropriated and to encourage the Federal government to fund multi-modal improvements. He also reviewed a statement regarding smaller cities' transportation block grants. The City could ask the Congressional delegation what might be the best strategies to achieve these long-range goals, and it may be possible to talk to some Department of Transportation officials. Manager said in all of these matters, it has been pointed up the need for City participation in the "man in Washingtonll program. This would make it possible to have a person on hand in Washington to follow Federal grants, to identify problems, and to help the City coordinate solutions to those problems with the appropriate Federal agencies. Mr. Delay supported the idea of a man in Washington program. He noted more direct representation was needed. He said it's very obvious that programs are tailored to cities other than Eugene. Mayor Keller agreed. As the second largest city in the state, Mayor Keller felt this would allow the opportunity to make use of whatever resources were available in Washington. He strongly urged Council to support such a program, as it would serve the City better to have some type of representation. Manager had talked to some of the Congressional offices, -whose staff felt they could provide those services to the city. However, he felt that some of the matters were highly technical and possibly Congressional staff would not be adequate assistance. 2/28/79--7 \2.9 Regarding the calendar for scheduled events, Manager said the League of Oregon Cities Congressional breakfast was scheduled Tuesday morning from 8:00 to 9:30 a.m. He will determine individual appointments with the Congressional delegation and include that in the packet for Council. It was noted the League of Oregon Cities usually set up meetings with individual congressmen. However, this year they were not doing so. Mayor Keller suggested Councilors inquire at the League of Oregon Cities break- fast to see why that service has been disbanded. e v. Conflict of Interest Determination of Community Develo ment Committee CDC Member--Memo and materials distributed. Manager said a CDC member, Alan Garten, had applied for a rehabilitation grant. Subsequently, he was appointed to the CDC. He has not received approval of the grant as yet, and has been advised there may be a conflict of interest. Don Laird, City Attorney, did a legal review and concluded there was not a legal conflict of interest because the CDC advises on policy, but does not pass on individual loans. Manager said there was a serious question regarding having a member of such an advisory committee participate in a program, or during his tenure as a member, be awarded a loan or grant under a program on which policy guidelines are set by the same committee. He said it becomes a City Council policy matter for decision. In Manager's opinion, it would set an undesirable precedent for a committee member, while serving on the committee, to be awarded a grant or low-interest loan as opposed to obtaining such before or after leaving the committee. The legal opinion states, until Council makes a determination, Mr. Garten may participate in discussions of the committee but may not vote on issues ~ before the CDC. Paul Osborn, HCC, indicated in addition to Mr. Garten, Jan Newton, also may have a conflict of interest. She had applied for a rehab loan before joining the committee. She has already assumed a position on the committee and has been voting. She was informed by staff there would be a conflict of interest, and thus, she never pursued it after that point. Therefore, determination regarding conflict of interest would be made for both individuals. Don Laird, City Attorney, said in his review of HUD regulations, there is a blanket prohibition against anyone who has policy-making or recommending authority to a City government partaking in any of their programs. However, an exceptions procedure was set forth, at outlined in the memo. Council should decide whether it wants to set guidelines as to whether certain people can or cannot receive loans from the City because of membership on the committees. Basically, the loan would be legal, but Council should carefully consider possible repercussions on future loans. He said a disadvantage to not allow the loans would be the City's penalizing people serving on advisory groups. An advantage for granting the loans stated was that a person who had gone through the loan process might be more useful to the committee. He said issues to be considered were: 1) Even though a person would not have influence on the loan, could they ~ 2/28/79--8 /30 - influence the amount of allocation for rehabilitation at a later time? 2) In the event of non-payment, the City Attorney's office would have to try to recoup that money. Thus both City staff and members of the Board might be placed in an uncomfortable position. 3) The most serious consideration should be given to appearance of impropriety, which Council may wish to avoid. 4) If guidelines were not set out, the City Attorney's office would be involved in each request to determine a conflict of interest. Thus, more time and money would be spent. Mr. Delay wondered if the conflict of interest would also apply to someone who, in the past, had taken out a loan through COC, and then subsequently had become a member of the committee. Mr. Laird said ther'e would probably be no conflict with HUO, but there could be a potential conflict regarding recouping the money in case of nonpayment. Ms. Smith expressed personal concern that people who are serving on committees and want to apply for funding should resign their positions. She felt there were many interested people in the community to serve on the committees, thus alleviating the possible problem of lack of members. e Mr. Osborn noted for Council that if it were determined a person serving on COC did have a conflict, the present language agreement with HUO states the conflict would exist for one year after resigning from the committee. He felt Council should know when it's making appointments to the committees if the persons have participated in the program in the past. Mr. Lieuallen felt there was a shift in staff's presentation from the materials received by Council Friday and the presentations made today. He said it seemed the written materials indicated there was a problem that could be dealt with, whereas today, he was hearing that those same prob- lems existed and could not be dealt with so easily. He questioned whether something had changed. Mr. Osborn said in reviewing the materials, the Council cannot issue a blanket waiver for all COC members. However, Council may determine who is not eligible. The alternative would be, each time a request comes from a COC member, to determine if there is a conflict of interest on an individual case-by-case basis. Another alternative would be to decide ahead of time whether applications should be received from those serving on the COC committee. Mr. Lieuallen said to disallow those persons from participating in the program would discourage people who live in the very neighborhoods trying to deal with the problems for which the program is set up. He felt one of the good aspects of the program was that those very people had been involved. He said now this would be punishing them because they are wanting to be involved. He did not feel there would be that many cases to be decided by Council. Mayor Keller cautioned Council about the image it might be setting. He said if Councilors were to have a conflict and had to forfeit their positions, would it be unfair to ask other persons to live under the same guidelines? He felt the key issue was whether Council should allow a e 2/28/79--9 131 conflict of interest. Once it has been established there is one, is there any justi fi cati on for Counci 1 to all ow that to conti nue? He was not concerned with "after the fact" situations, if a member previous to appointment had participated in the program. He felt it to be a matter ~ whether it was a good or bad pol i cy. . Mr. Delay was disappointed with the operational aspects of that kind of problem of the conflict existing for a year after membership on the COCo His major concern was avoiding the appearance of impropriety in the public arena. Personally, he had no problem and saw no confl i ct of interest in this particular case. But in terms of the City Council representing the community, he would have to support avoiding the appearance of impropriety. He felt that to be of major importance. In response to a question from Ms. Schue, Mr. Osborn said the policy would apply to anyone staff perceived as having a conflict. If staff thinks there is a possible conflict, staff would request an opinion from the attorney, with subsequent determination by Council. Mr. Laird responded to Mr. Lieuallen's concern regarding a shift in position. He said legally,'the loan could be made. However, as counsel for the City, it was necessary to point out the problems regarding public policy concern. Ms. Miller said that it seemed excluding people from actually getting loans while they are serving on boards still leaves a fairly large number of neighborhood people who could serve on the committees and be represen- tative of community development activities. She also noted there seemed to be a certain appearance of unfairness regarding other City advisory boards whose members are affected by what they do (such as ERA, Airport Commission, ~ and building trades). However, she said perhaps they are not as directly affected monetarily. She said the conflict of interest seems more apparent than real. She could not imagine the COC members would have that much impact on whether they would get loans, as there are very set guidelines and procedures for qualifying for loans and grants. Mr. Delay wondered if Council could simply disallow loans or grants to members only while they are serving, rather than leaving intact the language that a conflict exists a year after they have resigned from the committee. Mr. Laird said one-year disallowance was a Federal requirement. The Federal conflict of interest provision does not apply, however, in this particular situation, so the City could eliminate that regulation. Mr. Delay moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, to adopt a policy that persons serving on COC cannot apply for a loan during tenure on that committee; 'and that staff draft a letter for the Mayor's signature expressing Council's sympathy with Alan Garten's position. Mr. Delay said the intent of his motion was not to process any element of a loan during the tenure of the COC member. 2/28/79--10 - \32.. . e e. Ms. Miller wondered regarding the Federal regulations, if the Council needed to make a formal statement that it does not believe such a loan would violate public policy under the terms of the Federal '74 Housing and Community Development Act. Rather, Council was adopting this as a separate City policy. Mr. Laird said that was so implied. VI. Vote was taken on the motion, which carried with all Councilors present voting aye except Mr. Lieuallen voting no. Program Agent Status Report--Memo and materials distributed. Randy Miller, of the Personnel Department, reviewed the memorandum. Program Agent status for the City would start April 1. At that time, the City would assume responsibility for administering 30 percent of the funds now being administered by Lane County. For the six-month period from April to the September 30, those funds would amount to $1.5 million. He said there will be approximately 300 CETA employees participating. Eight to 10 staff persons will be hired to implement the program. Space will be provided in the Medical Arts Building. A major issue negotiated with the County was what services the County and City could jointly administer to provide economic efficiency, with a coordinating public information program to help avoid public confusion and a coordinated management information system. He reviewed the recommendations as out- lined in the memorandum: 1) Approve the concepts as outlined for Program Agent implementation~ 2) Authorize City Manager to sign Program Agent subgrant (April 1 through September 30) and any modification to that subgrant; and 3) (amended) To authorize the City-designated representa- tivesto the County ETAC to serve as the formal interim advisory committee to Program Agent staff and the City Council; instruct staff to draft an ordinance to define PAAC responsibilities and membership that assures proper coordination with other City and County advisory bodies involved in employment, training, and related economic development programs. In response to a question from Mr. Lieuallen, Mr. Miller said that the relationships with the County have improved significantly. He said many problems have been resolved and he was encouraged with the emerging partnership. He said at a staff level, most concerns and issues had been resolved. The County Commissioners and City Council have yet to agree on the proposed solutions. Regarding a question from Mr. Lieuallen for use of funds in private enterprise training, Mr. Miller said that changes in new rules will take place which will allow a portion of Title VI funds to be used in the private sector. The funds will not be allowed to be used by the City until the County sets up a Title VII (new) program for private enterprise. Ms. Smith had served on the ETAC Committee and felt the relationships were , much improved between the County and City since she first started serving. Regarding PAAC, she questioned whether it was necessary to place that in ordinance form. She felt perhaps after the agreement had been signed would be a better time. She was concerned about formalizing the structure too quickly. Mr. Miller said the ordinance was not necessary right away. The request was for Council direction during the interim period. 2/28/79--11 133\ Regarding the allocation policy, Mr. Delay wondered if there was any kind of implicit priority among the list of criteria. Mr. Miller said it was not intended as a prioritization of criteria. He noted this ,was not a ~ final policy and the provision of the agreement will allow staff and ~ Council to make changes as needed. Ms. Miller requested interpretation of Item 3-b regarding CETA regulations and residents. Mr. Miller said Federal regulations prohibit residents from a Prime Sponsor jurisdiction to have CETA jobs in a Prime Agent jurisdiction. This was an attempt to define the policy with clear guide- lines. He said if there is a job under a subgrant administered by the City, only city residents can apply. If the County will also be adminis- tering subgrants within the City limits, then county and city residents could apply. Mr. Lieuallen felt that was a disadvantage of the whole process, and noted there were some disadvantages to the City's becoming a Prime Agent. Regarding the PAAC, he requested that both he and Mr. Obie be allowed to serve in the interim period. Mr. Miller said the ETAC was the official advisory council to the County as a Prime Sponsor and such an advisory group is Federally required. An advisory council is not required for a Program Agent. However, the City has chosen to have one to obtain Council and citizen involvement. Mr. Delay moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, to adopt the three recom- mendations as outlined by Mr. Miller; to authorize City members of ETAC, including Mr. Obie and Mr. Lieuallen to serve on the advisory committee during the interim; and to authorize staff to begin drafting an ordinance to address coordination of the various ~ activities as outlined by Mr. Miller. Motion carried unanimously. ,., ~ )ul~~de, seconded, Charles T. Hen~ City Manager and passed, the meeting was adjourned. CTH:OT:pm/CM8b1 2/28/79--12 . 131f
