COUNCILORS PRESENT: Betty Smith, Scott Lieuallen, Brian Obie, Jack Delay, Gretchen Miller, and Emily Schue. Councilors Eric Haws and D. W. Hamel were absent. Adjourned meetinq of the City Council of the City of Eugene, Oregon, was called to order by His Honor Mayor Gus Keller. 1. ITEMS FROM MAYOR & COUNCIL, APPOINTMENTS, ANNOUNCEMENTS, AGENDA ADJUSTMENTS A. Sacred Heart Nurses' Strike Mr. Lieuallen stated that this is a serious community issue and he is pleased that Mayor Keller offered to become involved to help toward resolution of this issue. ' Mr. Lieuallen moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, that the council e support Mayor Keller's endeavor to aid in resolution of the Sacred Heart nurses' strike. Ms. Miller said that the council should recognize that there are other medical care problems in the community besides Medical Services, Inc. She feels that a Blue Ribbon Citizens' Panel would be appropriate. Mr. Lie~allen noted that this issue is damaging to health care in several areas, including placing a hardship on the nurses and being damaging to the reputation of the hospital. Ms. Schue indicated agreement. Roll call vote; motion carried unanimously. B. City Manager Selection Process Mr. Delay stated that he had received a memo from Greg Page, City Manager's Office, regarding discussion of the city manager selection process at the council's goalS session. He noted that the goals session's agenda does not include this item and asked for clarification. Mayor Keller stated he had told Mr. Page that this item could be added if time permitted but that other issues had priority. Mr. Page stated that if the council did not discuss this at the goals session, materials could be sent out to them. This would be the last opportunity that the council would have to meet as a whole before November 5. - e MINUTES-~Eugene City Council October 15, 1980 Page 1 ~"~. __~____,__,~~_.______ .___~___._.__..,_.__ ______._______.__ __ _h _~.~__ --.. .--. ---.>----.-.-.-- --_.- .-.-- - , I . The council could be accommodated either way. Mr. Delay stated that a group discussion would be a constructive exercise and, if it could not occur during the goals session~ that it should occur another time. Mayor Keller noted the e council should reach consensus regarding inclusion or not before adjourning from this meeting. Ms. Smith stated that she would like to see this item included. Mayor Keller noted that it could be scheduled into the goals session. Council consensus was to have staff schedule this item on the goals session agenda. - C. Tri-Agency Task Force Report Mr. Delay asked if these results were what Mr. Henry had expected. Mr. Henry stated that this report had gone further than he had contemplated. This defined the problems~ made recommendations~ and contained financial information. Work done by this task force should not pre-empt the work done by the current committee of the jurisdictions. The County position is the one that is reflected. Mr. Delay stated that this recommendation came from the County and that is ironic since they are the only jurisdiction not supporting the budget this year. He felt that this is a paper solution and that the task force should still pursue defining the kind of program desired. Mr. Lieuallen stated that he has not reviewed the report but wondered who was on the task force. Ms. Schue responded that she and Councilor Miller have only met once with staff. Mr. Lieuallen asked if the report reflects the current basic task force's position. Ms. Schue indicated that she had not read the report yet. Mr. Delay stated that this was to have been an intergovernmental report completed by the three administrators. It did not remain high enough priority for all jurisdictions so it ended up being a report from only Lane County. D. November City Council Meeting Schedule e 'Council consensus was that council meetings would be held on November 5~ 10~ and 26. The council meetings of November 12, 19, and 24 would be canceled. Mr. Delay indicated that perhaps a longer meeting would be needed on the 26th due to the lesser number of meetings being scheduled. ' E. Meetings Mr. Henry stated that the Performing Arts Commission would meet tonight in the McNutt Room at 7:30 p.m. Joint Parks will meet at 7:30 p.m.~ October 16. F. Metropolitan Wastewater Treatment Plant Operations Mr. Henry stated that discussion of the Treatment Plant operations would be on the October 22 council agenda. Ms. Smith said that she would answer questions from individual councilors regarding operation of the treatment plant. II. ROUTINE ITEMS FOR COUNCIL APPROVAL A.

Alley Vacation for Fifth Street Public Market partnership (AV 79-2) (map distributed) .',' Mr. Henry stated that this had been called for an earlier hearing but different easements were to now be retained that were not mentioned in the advertisements so the hearing was called again for today. Staff has worked closely with EWEB. The price for payment or the easements was agreed upon. He introduced Jim Croteau, Planning, to provide background information. . Mr. Croteau stated that this alley vacation is bounded by Pearl and High streets, and 5th and 6th avenues. It includes a 14-foot-wide alley running east-west, 160 feet in length, and a 14-foot-wide alley running north-south, also 160 feet in length. Retention of public utility easements was not mentioned in the ads previously. Concerns regarding bicycle an9 pedestrian access and vehicle turnaround noted in the public hearing have been considered. The developer will dedicate a 12-foot-wide strip to provide a turning radius. He stated that he could answer questions. Ms. Miller asked if part of this project resulted in paving or other improvements. Mr. Croteau stated that expansion of the Fifth Street Market will provide for e certain improvements. There will be a skybridge. The north-south alley will remain open for access. Ms. Miller asked if the other public rights-of-way will be paved. Mr. Croteau indicated that the applicant may be able to respond. Public hearing was opened. Norm Foqelstrom, Fifth Street Market, stated that the north-south alley would be paved In brlck with plantings with shop entries on the west side of the building. The remaining east-west alley is paved on the west end and a turning radius will be paved. He was unsure of the south portion of the north-south alley. There is some work to be done here and he feels that the City will pave the area and the businesses will be assessed. Ms. Miller asked if the east end of the east-west alley will stay as is and be open to traffic. ~1r. Fogel strom stated that it would be left open for smaller trucks with a nine-foot clearance under the bridge. They are trying to ease delivery routes in that area by having some other loading areas. This wil,l allow room for pedestrian use. Ramps wi 11 be put in for better ingress/eqress. There being no further testimony, public hearing was closed. - e MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 15, 1980 Page 3 . - '-', -- - - . ..' '~'. ..~ ..-'....' . .'-"."-." '-,..

Roll call vote; motion carried unanimously with Mr. Obie abstaining. Council Bill 2205 was read the second time by council bill number only. Ms. Smith moved, seconded by Mr. Lieuallen, that the bill be approved and given final passage. Roll call vote; all councilors present voting aye with Mr. Obie abstaining, the bill was declared passed and numbered 18713. IV. CONSIDERATION OF MEDICAL SERVICES, INC., AMBULANCE RATE INCREASE REQUEST (memo distributed) Mr. Henry stated that this was discussed at the October 13 council meeting. MSI is asking for a 30-percent increase in the base rate charge and over 20-percent increase in other charges. As of October 13, they had not received enough e financial data to support the request. More information has arrived since October 13 and the task force met October 14 to discuss the rate increase. They declined, 4:3, to recommend supporting the rate increase. Springfield supported the rate increase so MSI would have this commitment in order to present their case to the bankruptcy court. Opposition came from Eugene, the State, and medical representatives primarily because of lack of information. Originally, Wes Morgan, President of MSI, indicated that the decision by the council must be made by October 22. Information has been requested and is beginning to come in. There is not enough information to know how the organization will function and personnel costs will be assigned. Complications were explained at the October 13 meeting. He suggested that representatives of MSI and others be allowed to testify. He woul~ like to see the decision reached on October 22. Mr. Delay stated that he would support Mr. Henry's recommendation to delay the decision until the 22nd. There is a need for as much information as possible before a decision is made. Because of inadequate information, no motion could be passed at the task force meeting yesterday. Lee Zimmerman feels that any recommendation should have a commitment to a certain service level. The June 2, 1980, memo from the Finance Department indicated there should be an up-front level of service. ..... e MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 15, 1980 Page 4 Mayor Keller indicated that although this is not a public hearing, four people from MSI have requested to speak in favor of the rate increase and John Bush has e requested to speak against the rate increase. Council consensus was to allow them to speak. Speaking in favor of the rate increase: Michael S. Jarvill, 96 East Broadway, stated that he is the attorney representing the board of directors of MSI. They have a deadl ineof November 3 to have a plan of profitable operation to present to the bankruptcy court to allow continued operation as a company. The plan must be developed and formulated prior to that date, which takes time. They must know immediately if the rate increase is to be granted. If another week goes by, they would not have time to formulate their plan. The board is responsible and accountable to United States Bankruptcy Court Chapter 11 to protect MSI for the benefit of the creditors. If they do not get the rate increase immediately, they must petition for termination of . service so as not to deplete MSI's assets any further. There is a new management team and they have not had much time to make changes. MSI was in an unhealthy position when the new team came in and it cannot be turned around overnight. A lot of money has been spent on the Touche Ross study. The information provided by Touche Ross was the best and most reliable available and a great deal of City money has been spent on obtaining it. It would be logical to follow the Touche Ross formula and to work with the information available as best they can. R. Kim Short, 2339 West 28th Avenue, stated that he was hired as a financial consultant for MSI. He distributed information to the council regarding the Albany ambulance situation. Once MSI filed bankruptcy, the court gave them 120 e days to prove it can be a viable company operating at a profit. He feels that MSI can survive and meet their financial obligations. A reorganization plan is being prepared. He thinks they have a good handle on the plan and can have a viable company. In MSI's rate increase proposal, a 10.5-percent profit margin was bui lt in. The plan requires an increase in rates. MSI has been subsidizing the city and the public with its low rates. They feel that they cannot cut expenses very much more. If a temporary rate.increase is not granted, they will petition the court for liquidation. They are asking for a temporary rate increase to present to the courts. J. Wesley Morgan, 2859 Tomahawk Lane, said that he began his participation as president of the company three weeks ago. He does not know a good deal about the information but is trying to understand the situation. In 1978, the rate increase was held off due to the pending study; in 1979, the rate increase was held off because the study was in progress. In the meantime, $32,000 has been spent on the study. There is some question in regard to the matrix. They are using audited information from MSI and plugging it into the matrix. The inflationary factor was not plugged in. They are looking at 40-percent inflation in the medical field since 1978. They used the best information they had and prepared it as best they could. They are not asking for the maximum amount. MSI has been a leader in the industry as has Bill Leonard. They are not asking ..... . e MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 15, 1980 Page 5 ---.._---" - ._- - --"" -.- . . for excess profit. MSI is asking for a 10.5-percent increase. It. will take about five years to get the company back on its feet. The large building on West 11th will have to be sold and a total restructuring will be necessary in e order for the company to survive. The board is legally responsible for the finances after filing bankruptcy: The letter to Mr. Henry indicated that MSI could wait for a decision until October 25 but this morning the attorneys told them they would need a decision today from the council. If it is not granted - today, they will petition the courts tomorrow to change from a Chapter 11 to a Chapter 1 bankruptcy. He distributed a letter to th~ council. . A. J. Giustina, 888 West Park, stated that he is chairman of the creditors' committee. He explained the difference between a Chapter 7 and Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The Chapter 11 bankruptcy allows reorganization of the company so the creditors will be in a better position to be repaid. If MSI cannot demonstrate that the creditors will be better off with continued operation of the company, they will opt fbr the Chapter 7 bankruptcy--liquidation. If the council expects MSI to operate at no profit, then the creditors will not be paid off and the creditors will request the Chapter 7 bankruptcy. A delay in decision will probably result in liquidation. If the current management cannot make a profit, it would have an effect on potential purchasers. Speaking against the temporary rate increase: John C. Bush, 2230 West Irwin Way, stated that he was before the council five months ago when he said that MSI was delivering excellent service in a timely manner at an exorbitant price. The quality of care has diminished since then, so he cannot support the rate increase. If the company continues, it may not be able to continue in the same manner in which .it was. He feels the request e should be denied and if they fold, they fold~ Ultimately, the people will win and it will be worthwhile in the end. Collin Mooney, 4022 North Clarey, said that he is currently under9oin9 certifica- tlon as an EMT 4 in Portland. The quality of MSI services has greatly decreased. The medical community is not supportive of MSI employees as they are not perceived to be well-qualified. He is against the temporary rate increase. 'Mr. Delay. asked what amount of extraordinary debt is expected to be paid off in five years. Mr. Short responded that all pre-filing debts would be paid off. It would not be through rate increases but through liquidation of rental and sales, sale of the building, and by major capital infusion. Mr. Short indicated that Mr. Leonard owns the building but agreed that $96,000 would be paid to the company from sale of the building. The rates being asked are to allow a profit- able operation. The company must have some reserve to replace equipment as needed. There is pressure to bring salaries to a higher level. Employees are being paid below median standard. The employees are giving some and the management is giving a lot. They expect 100 percent of the debt to be repaid. Mr. Delay asked about the amount of debt listed in the Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Mr. Short indicated that it would be the pre-filing debt--$430,000. Mr. Delay stated that the board recommends that if the company continues to operate at a negative cash flow, liquidation be pursued. He asked what action is being tak~ - MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 15, 1980 Page 6 to ensure positive cash flow right now. He asked what the board's posture would e be if the company were profitable now. Mr. Short said that there would not be the pressure on the board to petition for liquidation. Mr. Delay asked how the creditors' committee would feel if the company were making a profit but it was unclear how they would repay the debts. He asked if the creditors would allow additional time. Mr. Giustina responded that they could as they have a great deal of flexibility. If MSI does not produce a plan, then the creditors' - committee will. Chapter 11 bankruptcy allows alternatives. The creditors could take stock in the company or the debts could be amortized over a five-year period with the balance due in five years. However, they would not be willing to do this if the company is continuing to lose money. Mr. Delay asked about the MSI Amarillo, Texas, operation. Mr. Morgan stated that the Amarillo bank froze the assets and appointed trustees. The Amari 110 area has forced a different emergency service provider each year to go broke for the last four years. People in Texas do not pay medical bills. Mr. Obie asked how long the board has been involved. Mr. Morgan stated that the board was formed in June;, he has been involved for three weeks. Mr. Lieuallen asked what Mr. Leonard's current role is. Mr. Morgan said that Mr. Leonard had tendered verbal resignation as chair of the board of directors this morning. Mr. Morgan stated that a voting trust was established for stock; he votes one-third, Mr. Leonard votes one-third, and the attorneys are holding the other third. Mr. Leonard has the right to draw the same salary and is paid for consulting services. Mr. Lieuallen asked what happened that it will take five years to reoganize. Mr. Morgan stated th.at MSI has been subsidizing their e service for two years. They got out of step with inflation by 1976. There have been many changes in the technology in the past ten years. Inflation in the medical field has been 10 to 15 percent. Ambulances businesses are in trouble allover the United States. Ms. Smith asked if it was possible to continue developing a plan if no decision is made today. Mr. Jarvill stated that the board's decision this morning is based on his legal advice. He said that they cannot continue the status quo and wait for a decision next week because there would not be adequate time for preparation of their plan. The attitudes about the validity of the Touche Ross study are of concern to them. They have used this study as a basis. . If the Touche Ross report is being questioned, he does not know where that will leave them. Due to these concerns, he advised the board to liquidate tomorrow if MSI is not guaranteed an increase today. Retirement of the debt over five years will not be from increased rates; it will be from a return on capital. The number of employees has been cut from more than 80 to 68. Costs have been decreased. . Ms. Smith asked Mr. Jarvill if he was aware of the staff's recom- mendation to delay one week when he gave his legal advice to the board this morning. Mr. Jarvill indicated that he had thought that that might be the case. If the rate increase is granted and more information is obtained so the council decides later they want to lower the rate, then the rates could be lowered as this temporary rate increase will not be binding. Mr. Short stated they are looking at selling the building and receiving a permanent infusion of capital...... In,order to ask people to put in capital they need to have the rates increased. Investors are very concerned about the tenuous situation at this time. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 15, 1980 Page 7 - - - ~ Ms. Schue stated that it concerns her that the service level has gone down. She asked what the plans are for improving service. Mr. Short said that it is easy \ to say that service ~as deteriorated. There are no fi~ures or instances given ~ that it has, however. Ms. Schue stated that she had had discussions with ~ emergency room personnel at Sacred Heart Hospital. They will no longer give standing orders (allowing ambulance personnel to prescribe and administer certain emergency drugs and treatment) because of the lack of qualifications of : the personnel. Mr. Morgan stated that it has nothing to do with the qualifica- tions of the personnel. It has to do with personnel relationships and developing communications. The doctors are working with MSI in this regard. Ms. Schue asked if most of MSI's personnel are EMT 3's. Mr. Morgan responded that they 1 are although they would prefer to have EMT 4's. Ms. Miller asked if the Touche Ross study was presented to the task force yesterday. Mr. Henry stated that the financial report has not yet been delivered but the draft financial data based on fiscal year ending March 31, 1980 is correct; however, because.of reorqanizational changes, projections may not be accurate for the coming year. Ms. Miller was asked what was presented yesterday. Mr. Delay responded that nothing was. Mr. Henry stated that Touche Ross had had trouble getting information and is having management approve the drafts. The information should be available in a week or so. Mr. t~organ said that they were told that three weeks ago. Mr. Henry stated that staff was presented with MSI's request last week and it asked for a decision by October 25. It seems that now they are pressuring the City into acting right now and that is not helpful. If the gaps in the information were filled, that might help them. determine whether to grant the rate increase. . Ms. Smith stated that she would be more prone to supporting the request within ~ the time limit mentioned in the letter from MSI. She noted that MSI may not ~ like to back down but that may be necessary to reach a positive decision. Mr. Jarvill indicated that he was not aware of the October 25 date until this morning. He has an ethical and legal responsibility to provide his clients with the best advice he can. Mr. Morgan stated that they would set in motion the mechanism for changing from a Chapter 11 to a Chapter 7 bankruptcy if the request is denied today. They are only asking for a six-month increase. The task force's study will not be finished until January and by then six months will almost be over. . Mr. Delay stated that regarding the Touche Ross methodology there is still a significant amount of work yet to be done. One issue is whether they \'Jant to go into a public utility model. The staff report demonstrates that there could be problems even ~ith the increase which could encourage more debt. The council originally encouraged Mr. Leonard to come to the council if a rate increase were needed. Since then the chief administrators have had questions as to whether there were problems but MSI did not indicate any problems. One can't overly rely on the Touche Ross report. Now there is a "gun at our head" to make a decision. This'is not a constructive environment for making these decisions. If a decision must be made today in the absence of additional information, then it should be more modest than what was requested. - e MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 15, 1980 Page 8 . Mr. Obie stated that he is bitter about the position he is now in. It is e difficult to make a rational decision on this issue. He is bothered with the grandstanding, the leverage ploys, and a type of hammer being used against the council. It is either mismanagement or a lack of communication that has caused the problems. They have tried to work with MSI in the last six months. Mr~ Morgan stated that nothing was accomplished in yesterday's task force - meeting, nor in the past three days. This is what prompted the board to make their decision this morning. They must be making a profit when they go to court or.the creditors will say they cannot pay their debts. He does not know if it is possible to stop the Chapter 7 process once it is started. If the Touche Ross study means nothing then they will be starting allover. The sense of questioning they got from yesterday's meeting caused the board's reaction. Mr. Obie noted that he has not heard anyone say the council decision will be based on financial determination from the Touche Ross study. He feels there should be a delay until more information is received. Staff should sharpen their plan to supply emergency services if necessary. Ms. Smith agreed that the council does not depend on the Touche Ross study to make their decision. She will support Mr. Obie's suggestion to delay one week. Mr. Lieuallen stated that in the memo listing the proposed rates the 23.49 percent is arrived at by simply adding the percentages together and. dividing that number by the number of items listed. He asked what the increase percentage really is. Mr. Henry stated that the overall revenue increase would be in the vicinity of $450,000. This would be roughly 30 percent overall. Mr. L ieuallen said he wants to wait a week. He is not convinced by the arguments to support e the increase but perhaps could be with additional information. Ms. Schue agreed that she would like to wait a week. Mr. Delay stated that a great deal of time yesterday at the task force meeting was spent dealing with the same issue they are dealing with now although they had planned to work with the Touche Ross report. Touche Ross was hired to assess the situation, not to make the final decision. There had been a lack of information previously and that is why this study was undertaken in the first place. MSI not only may have erred in not coming to the council before, but there have been many faulty actions such as an overly expensive facility, proposed expansions and substations which did not occur, the Albany operation, the proposal to Salem, and the Amarillo operation which was subsidized $110,000 by the Eugene-Springfield portion of MSI. All of these items played a part in this problem. Mr. Keller interjected that items V, Consideration of Deregulation of Mobilchair Rates, and IX, Industrial Land Study Task Force Appointment/Resolution, on today's agenda would be covered today. All other agenda items would be held over to next week in order to have the council attend a 1:30 work session. Mayor Keller stated that two bodies are trying to do one great job and neither is informed. He asked what further answers could be expected within the next week. The council knows that the board is trying to continue a valuable service. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 15, 1980 Page 9 ~. c It is unfortunate that MSI waited'two years to ask for an increase. When rate increases were requested in the past, it was a very simple procedure and always made sense. This continued until 1979 and now the council feels obligated to e do their job well. He asked what is expected to be different within the next week. If the council can be convinced that something will happen, it may help them make their decision. Mr. Morgan stated that they are working on the timing of the bankruptcy proceed- - ings. The board had not been aware of their liabiJity in continuing operations while not showing a profit. They are obligated to have their counsel pursue the petition for liquidation. He does not know how long that process will take. They would be unable to wait until October 25 for a decision. Mayor Keller asked if they could assume that the council will approve the increase and develop their plan with that in mind. Mr. Morgan stated that they could live with the delay if the machinery is there. The increase barely puts them into a profitable position. Approval of only a portion of the request would not be worth it. They have been bringing in information for the past week. He under- stands the council's position but they must start the machinery. Mr. Delay stated that staff has been working on this situation. Information must be provided so that a responsible recommendation can be made to the council. Mr. Henry stated that they have been focusing on organizational structure. Since it has been changed so much, some of the information may not be valid. The Touche Ross study only shows the total personnel ~osts. He needs to review the detailed information from MSI. The Touche Ross model requires the ability to look at the entire budget. Mayor Keller asked if the information would be available next week. Manager responded affirmatively. e Ms. Smith stated that she does not feel the council is able to support their request today without additional information but on October 22, this item could be placed back on the agenda and hopefully answers to the questions would be available. If they were, a temporary rate increase might be approved. - . Mr. Delay stated that he feels that regardless of the action taken in the next week or two, there is a certain amount of uncertainty about emergency service in the metropolitan area. The staff should place a high priority on looking for alternatives. He would like to see this community better prepared for crisis situations. Council consensus was to take no action on this item today. V. CONSIDERATION OF DEREGULATION OF MOBILCHAIR RATES (memo distributed) Mr. Henry stated that the cost for Mobilchair service has gone up and usage has gone down. Expenditures are not exceedinq the income. This is self-sustaining. Other competitors may enter this field. He recommends continued deregulation. Ms. Smith moved, seconded by Mr. Lieuallen, to deregulate Mobilchair ....- rates. e- MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 15, 1980 Page 10 < .- Mr. Lieuallen questioned whether the City can afford the available technology. e The City should look at what can be supported by the public on a cost benefit regulation. He has a problem with deregulation and what impact that will have on the public who have used this service in the past. He asked if there was a need for this service~ if peopl~ are suffering, or if they are finding other ways because the rates would be higher. He stated that he does not know the - answers to the questions but will support deregulation. However, he is concerned. Mayor Keller stated that he has some additional information and ideas which he would share with Mr. Lieuallen. ..' Roll call vote; motion carried unanimously. IX. INDUSTR1AL LAND STUDY: TASK FORCE APPOINTMENTS/RESOLUTION (res. distributed) Mr. Henry stated that this resolution is the same as the County Commissioners have agreed upon. Ms. Miller stated that Janet Calvert representing an economic committee, Bob Barkman representing the Planning Commission, Steve Wood representing the general public, and Jim Saul representing the business community are the Mayor1s recommendations. Res. No. 3434--A resolution concerning cooperative study of indust~ial supply and demand for the metropolitan area. Ms. Smith moved, seconded by Mr. Lieuallen, to adopt the resolution e and approve the Mayor's recommendations for appointment to the Industrial Land Study Task Force. Roll call vote; motion carried unanimously. The meeting was recessed to the joint work session with the Eugene Renewal Agency in the McNutt Room. -. The meeting was adjourned to October 22, 1980.
