COUNCILORS ABSENT: Par Farr. CITY COUNCIL MEETING Mayor James D. Torrey called the meeting to order. 1.PUBLIC FORUM Robert Addy, 1977 Echo Hollow Road, raised concern over the decline in business for local bars and taverns due to the smoking ordinance enacted by the City Council. He said business in Eugene was down 35 percent and was moving outside of city limits to other bars and restaurants in the surrounding area. He urged the council to take a strong look at the ordinance and consider its implications to the local economy. Sarah Charlesworth, 2373 Pershing Street, raised concern that the Eugene City Council was operating in violation of the City Charter regarding conflicts of interest. She noted that Section 14 of the Charter was clear and needed no interpretation. She noted that Councilor Pap~ was part owner of Sanipac Corporation, which handled one of the largest contracts that the city had. She called for an explanation of why he had been able to serve as a councilor so long with that conflict of interest. She opined that the City Attorney was feigning confusion on the issue and expressed concern that this raised ethical questions regarding City Councilors not abiding by the clear intent of the City Charter. Pat Hadly, 1435 Olive Street, submitted written material into the record. She raised concern over the Hynix tax exemption and expressed a desire to know what City staff knew "what, when, and where" regarding the tax status of Hynix. She raised concern over being charged a fee for looking through the public record. She said the charge made it much more difficult to review the public record. Bob Cassidy 1401 East 27th Avenue, urged the council to consider a utility tax. He said it would be a fair tax that would affect all renters, property owners, and businesses. He said such a tax would help people to control the water and electricity that they used and urged its consideration as a new source of City income. MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 24, 2002 Page 1 Regular Meeting Anne Fiefield, spoke as a representative Tobacco Free Coalition of Oregon regarding the economic impacts of the City's smoking ordinance. She said she had reviewed video poker business data regarding the allegations of loss of business due to Eugene's smoking ordinance. She said the analysis focused on the third and fourth quarters of 2001 and the first quarter of 2002. She opined that the loss in business was attributable to a seasonal decline during summer months. She stressed there was no obvious trend to the data. Pat Cookson, 2350 Oakmont Way, American Cancer Society, said tobacco health risks were higher than was originally thought. She said second hand tobacco smoke increased risks of lung cancer by 20 percent. She urged maintaining steps to keep Eugene businesses smoke-free. She cited sales data for Corvallis under its smoking ordinance and concluded that there was no significant impact to local businesses. Ken Haig, Umqua Amusement, related that he lived in Albany but felt compelled to talk to the City Council of Eugene. He urged the City Council to follow the State law regarding smoking rules. He said the people should be able to choose the type of environment they recreate in. He said that more and more people were traveling to outlying areas to go to taverns where they could smoke. He added that people who pushed the law through did not patronize taverns and bars. Cheryl McCabe, spoke representing The Old Pad, cited written information submitted at previous meeting and said that customers were going to places outside the city limits so they could smoke, and added that local business owners were being severely penalized by the smoking ordinance. Mayor Torrey closed the Public Forum. II.CONSENT CALENDAR A. Approval of Council Minutes: May 29, 2002 Joint Public Hearing B. Approval of Tentative Working Agenda Councilor Bettman pulled Item B.

Referring to the tentative working agenda, Councilor Bettman expressed a desire to consider the parking in the downtown area at an earlier agenda time than August 12.

He noted that there would not be enough time to discuss the issue at the July 24 work session. Councilor Nathanson raised concern that delaying the discussion on the Courthouse District Concept Plan might have a negative impact the City's relationship with the General Services Administration.

III.PUBLIC HEARING AND ACTION: Resolution 4721 Adopting a Supplemental Budget; Making Appropriations for the City of Eugene for the Fiscal Year Beginning July 1, 2001, and Ending June 30, 2002 Councilor Rayor asked whether any fiscal year (FY) 2003 budget items related to the Emergency Medical Services Fund Stabilization were showing up in the fiscal year 2002 supplemental budget. Kitty Murdoch of the Central Services Department said that revenues were being recognized as received from a variety of sources not related to the revenue increases planned in FY03. She said the funding was being used to pay for overtime accrued in assisting other organizations, such as providing an ambulance at sports events. Mayor Torrey opened the public hearing. Seeing no one wishing to speak, he closed the public hearing and called for councilor comments and questions. Councilor Kelly called for council input regarding a suggestion that a motion be drafted to put $40,000 aside in the FY03 contingency account for economic development use if the ending working capital balance were higher than that amount. Councilor Bettman expressed concern over reserving money before knowing where that money will come from. She added that each department should have its own reserves and disagreed with using council contingency funds for economic development. Councilor Kelly said it would only be a temporary hold on the money.

Terry Connolly, representing the Eugene Chamber of Commerce, urged the restoration of funding to the Permit and Information Center (PIC). Referring to the Toxics Right to Know program, Mr. Connolly said that changes had to be made in how the program was funded. He said the current funding formula was against the City Charter. He urged a study of the actual costs of the program. Greg Huert, 2714 Willakenzie Street, reiterated that the need for social services was greater than ever. He stressed that a lot of people were hurting under the current system. He said that social services should be increased and not even be considered for decreases. MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 24, 2002 Page 4 Regular Meeting Gordy Albee, 555 East 40th Avenue, she said it was a shame that citizens had to come to a council meeting to plead for their living. She stressed the importance of people being the highest priority of the City, and suggested the council scale down capital projects and tax slumlords and luxury cars to pay for services to people. Carolyne Frengle, 2810 Ferry, Food for Lane County, reiterated the testimony of people pleading for social service dollars. She said that 35,386 people received food boxes in the previous year. She noted that this was 20 percent of the population. She said that social services were not looking to expand but needed funding to support direct services to people that needed them. She urged the council to support social service programs. Jessica Chanay, Food for Lane County, noted that Iow-income people were citizens too. She said that the council was withdrawing money at a time when the need was greatest. She noted that the money requested did not amount to much in the total budget.

She said that there were people who truly needed the help of the City.

She said that the council had the power to help the poor in the community. She stressed that the council represented all of the people of Eugene. Jorge Navarro, 1452 West Broadway, spoke as a representative for Centro LatinoAmericano. He stressed that now was not the time to cut social services to the community. He urged generous funding for human services. Mayor Torrey closed the public hearing. Councilor Bettman thanked those who testified. She said that the least that could be done was to restore the $23,000 ramp down to the Human Services Commission that was implemented during the fiscal year 2002 budget process. She said she would make a motion to do so at the appropriate time. Councilor Kelly thanked those who testified. He said he would support the motion Councilor Bettman intended to offer. Councilor Rayor said Eugene was still providing more funding for the Human Services Commission (HSC) than any other local jurisdiction. He added that Eugene was a full partner with Food for Lane County through the Human Services Network. Councilor Nathanson commented that Eugene had given the greater portion of its contingency account to nonprofit social service agencies to help them pay their utility bills. She added that the MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 24, 2002 Page 5 Regular Meeting City had been trying to discuss how other jurisdictions would contribute more to the HSC. She noted that Eugene paid more per capita than others. Councilor Pap~ said the year's budget discussions were the most difficult he had been involved in. He stressed the difficulty in making the budget cuts across the board and said he would not support any amendments to the budget. He stressed that tough decisions needed to be made.

Mayor Torrey stressed that the council had to vote in the best interest of the entire community but added that the councilors had heard the testimony provided by the public. Councilor Kelly, seconded by Councilor Pap~, moved to approve Resolution 4724, electing to receive State revenue-sharing funds pursuant to Section 221.770 of Oregon Revised Statutes. Roll call vote; the motion passed unanimously. Councilor Kelly, seconded by Councilor Pap~, moved to approve Resolution 4725, certifying that the City of Eugene provides the municipal services required by Oregon Revised Statutes Section 221.760. Roll call vote; the motion passed unanimously.

Councilor Taylor, seconded by Councilor Kelly, moved to amend the motion to increase the FY03 Central Service expenditure appropriation in the General Fund by $15,000 to restore the reduction in the Sister City Program, reduce the reserve for revenue shortfall by $15,000 in FY03, and direct staff to include ongoing funding at the current service level in the FY04 budget and beyond. Councilor Taylor said the Sister City Program was run by volunteers that did a lot of work for a small amount of funding from the City. She said the Sister City Foundation had contributed to the MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 24, 2002 Page 6 Regular Meeting success of downtown by renting an office there and staying during the opening of Broadway. She urged the council to restore funding to the program. Councilor Meisner said he wanted to support the motion but was hesitant to go against the recommendations of the Budget Committee. He said he had seen no evidence of community support for the Sister City Program. He noted that the program could solicit private donations under their 501(c)(3) status that would be in excess of the funds it no longer would receive from the City. Councilor Kelly said he would support the motion but would also support a future discussion about providing funding directly to the four committees rather than to the Sister City Foundation board of directors. Councilor Nathanson raised concern over the relationship between the foundation and its four committees. She expressed a hope that there would be a re-invention of the program but remarked that she had seen no evidence of that sort of commitment. She said it was a great program but opined that there had to be a different way to run it. She said she would not support the amendment. Roll call vote; the motion failed, 5:2; councilors Taylor and Kelly voting yes. Councilor Taylor, seconded by Councilor Rayor, moved to amend the motion to increase the FY03 Library, Recreation, and Cultural Services Department expenditure appropriation in the General Fund by $ 89,396 and reauthorize 1.25 FTE to restore the Outdoor Program reduction, increase FY03 General Fund program revenues by $48,198 for additional Outdoor Program revenues to offset part of the Outdoor Program costs, reduce General Fund reserves, specifically the Reserve for Revenue Shortfall by $41,198 in FY03, and direct staff to include ongoing funding at this service level in the FY04 budget and beyond. Councilor Taylor said outdoor programs were valuable programs because they indirectly reduced the need for police services. She opined that the adult portion of the program was self- supporting. Councilor Rayor said he was convinced that LRCS staff was addressing youth issues and that this affected the adult programs. He expressed his interest in hearing additional input from the rest of the council. Councilor Bettman said she would support the motion. She noted that it would be consistent with the City support of the youth services levy. Councilor Pap~ noted that tough decisions had to be made. He expressed confidence in LRCS Director Angel Jones and the decisions that she would make. He noted that needed police services were also being cut. He said he would vote against the amendment. Councilor Kelly cited the testimony heard by the Budget Committee in support of the Outdoor Program. He stressed that the programs taught leadership skills and other necessary skills. He said that the services offered by the program were not duplicated elsewhere. MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 24, 2002 Page 7 Regular Meeting Councilor Meisner said he would not support the motion as stated because of the final clause within it. Councilor Meisner, seconded by Councilor Rayor, moved to amend the amendment by striking the direction to staff to include ongoing funding at the service level in the FY04 budget. Councilor Meisner said he was willing to fund the program for one year to give time to come up with other funding ideas. Councilor Kelly said he would not support Councilor Meisner's amendment to the amendment. He said it would not make any fundamental change. He said that limiting the funding to one year was only "delaying the agony." Councilor Rayor said that, given a deadline, a business plan could be developed to make the program cost effective. He said the amendment was reasonable with relatively few FTE involved. He said he would support the motion whether or not the amendment passed. Roll call vote; the amendment to the amendment failed, 5:2; councilors Rayor and Meisner voting in favor. Roll call vote; the amendment passed, 4:3; councilors Pap~, Meisner, and Nathanson voting in opposition. Councilor Bettman, seconded by Councilor Kelly, moved to amend the motion by amending Exhibit A of the FY03 City of Eugene budget resolution to increase the FY03 Planning and Development Department expenditure appropriation in the General Fund by $23,000 to restore the reduction to the Human Services Commission, reduce General Fund reserves, specifically the Reserve for Revenue Shortfall, by $23,000. In response to a question from Councilor Pap~ regarding a review of the funding going to human services, Ms. Murdoch cited a figure of $955,000 from the General Fund to support human services. Councilor Nathanson said it was important to acknowledge that over the past year and in the upcoming year the nonprofit providers had experienced increased unemployment and increased utility costs while State and federal aid had decreased. She said she would support the amendment. In response to a question from Councilor Meisner regarding the actual numbers allocated to the Human Services Fund in the budget process, Ms. Murdoch said that the allocation for the year was $881,789. She said the FY02 contribution was adjusted for inflation and then removed of the $23,000 from the action of the Budget Committee the previous year. She said there was a net reduction of approximately $2,000. Councilor Meisner expressed his dismay at the prospect of ignoring the recommendations of the budget committee and adding things to the budget without a definite funding source. MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 24, 2002 Page 8 Regular Meeting Councilor Pap~, seconded by Councilor Meisner, moved to amend the amendment to make the amount $3,000 tied to no particular funding source. Councilor Meisner said he would support the amendment made by Councilor Pap~. He noted that the City was also subject to inflation and was having increasing problems paying for its budget. He stressed that upcoming years would have even more painful cuts. Councilor Bettman said the amendment was just another way to make the cut. She said she was astounded at the level of discussion over $23,000 for human services. She stressed the extreme need for human services. Roll call vote; the amendment to the amendment failed, 4:3; councilors Pap~, Meisner, and Rayor voting yes. Roll call vote; the amendment passed, 4:3; councilors Pap~, Meisner and Rayor voting no. Councilor Rayor, seconded by Councilor Nathanson, moved to amend the motion by funding the pad-time receptionist position at the PIC with $26,000 from the $91,920 given to the Police Department by the Budget Committee. Councilor Nathanson said she was inclined to support the amendment. She also asked a process question regarding whether she could move to reconsider a previous motion that she had voted in opposition on. Councilor Pap~ expressed his disappointment in the action taken that evening. He said he would like to vote for Councilor Rayor's amendment but, in light of the difficult process the Budget Committee had gone through to reach its recommendations, he would oppose the motion. Councilor Bettman expressed her pleasure that the council had voted to support the provision of youth services and services to the most vulnerable part of the community. She said that the PIC already had an allocation that was $25,000 above its original budget request. She noted that the PIC was not recovering its costs by collecting more fees and commented that developers can access private sources for the expertise in interpreting the land use code. She said she was against the motion to amend. Councilor Meisner said he would not support the motion. He stressed the need to prioritize the budget and pay attention to its priorities. He expressed his amazement that a half-time receptionist position was receiving consideration as a higher priority than public safety budgets that had already been cut. Roll call vote; the amendment failed, 5:2; councilors Rayor and Nathanson voting yes. There was extensive discussion over council process and whether Councilor Nathanson could move to reconsider a previous motion that she had voted against. Mayor Torrey noted that there were councilors in favor of the amendment in question for whom it would be appropriate to move to reconsider the amendment in question. MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 24, 2002 Page 9 Regular Meeting Councilor Kelly suggested that allowing Councilor Nathanson to move to reconsider a previous motion she had voted against would open the door for any councilor to immediately move to reconsider any motion that had passed at the same meeting. He raised concern that this would be a poor precedent to establish. Councilor Bettman expressed a desire to discuss the Sister City Program before the next budget cycle. She said she wanted to spend less time on council process and more time on service priorities. She expressed her reservations regarding the budget process. She said the process could be streamlined. Councilor Rayor, seconded by Councilor Meisner, moved to reconsider the amendment regarding the Outdoor Program. Roll call vote; the motion passed, 4:3; councilors Kelly, Bettman, and Taylor voting no. Councilor Nathanson, seconded by Councilor Pap~, moved to amend the amendment by making the funding one-time only for the purpose of developing a plan for the program to lower next expenditure levels. Roll call vote; the amendment to the amendment passed, 6:1; Councilor Kelly voting no. Roll call vote; the main motion passed, 5:2; with councilors Kelly and Taylor voting no. V. ACTION: Ratification of Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission Budget Councilor Kelly, seconded by Councilor Pap~, moved to ratify the FY03 Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission Budget. Councilor Bettman expressed her appreciation for the work Public Works Department staff had put in on the item and said she would support the motion. She raised concern (asking that her comments be forwarded as part of the record of a future public hearing) that not enough systems development charges (SDCs), were being assessed to cover the capacity added by the new facility and reimbursement fees for the existing capacity. She believed that current residents were being asked to subsidize people who had not even moved into the area yet. Councilor Rayor recommended passage of the budget.
