Council discusses freeway access, city jail operation | Eugene City Council received assistance Monday night j jrom 0ver 22 persons who testified on what they thought should i happent0 Eugene's new extension of the 1-105 freeway, i j^so discussed and approved at the meeting were the i Dr0posal to change city jail operation to the county and a ! garter amendment which will allow the Mayor and City • founcilmen to receive monetary compensation for their work | with the City Council. Since January the City Council has hashed over what to do : aD0Ui providing access to First Avenue from the 1-105 freeway, i At present First Avenue ramps are temporary. Because the i ramps will be taken down the Council must decide how to retain ! First Avenue access.. The Council has five alternate plans. The problem is which plan will be most effective and least expensive. The alternatives range from one called the “Do Nothing” ; nian which would cost no additional money, to one costing : S3.265.00f) The "Do Nothing” plan would allow the temporary : ramps to remain and the opening of 1-105 between First Avenue : and7th Avenue to be delayed indefinitely. The money needed for : the other alternative would be used to construct a new in : terchange i Many members of the audience supported a plan which ; would cost $350,000 This plan would essentially improve the : existing ramps. The Council did not decide which alternative to adopt. They : will discuss the alternatives again for further consideration at the Committee of the Whole meeting May 9. The Council approved the transfer of administrative authority of the city jail to Lane County. Sheriff Dave Burks will take over Eugene Police Chief Dale Allen's job as chief ad ministrator The city, which owns 50 percent of the jail, will continue to share in any improvements costs. It will also continue to pay the cost of city prisoners and the county will absorb the cost of handling prisoners charged with state violations. In the May 24 public election Eugene voters will decide whether to accept a Charter amendment allowing Mayor Les Anderson and the eight Council members to receive monetary compensation for their participation as members of the City Council 3th street to become raftsmen’s hideaway?

Faculty members to vote on committee motions Those faculty members present at today’s General Faculty meeting could ironically take action that would do away with their own existence as a legislative body The faculty will vote on a motion to establish a committee to look at alternatives to the General Faculty-Faculty Senate structure. At last month’s Faculty meeting. University professors Ron Rousseve, Ken Ramsing, and Bob Kime, presented a motion that called for an “Ad Hoc Committee on an Alternative to the General Faculty Meeting.” The committee was to consist of four faculty members and three student members. Two main differences exist between the Rousseve motion and the Tattersall motion. The Rousseve motion says the committee shall prepare “a detailed recommendation or series of recommendations on the design of ^legislative delegate body to take the place of the existing Faculty Senate-General Faculty Meeting mechanism.” The Tattersall motion, on the other hand, does not make the stipulation that the committee’s proposed recommendations will necessarily replace the existing Faculty Senate-General Faculty structure. The second difference relates to the composition of the proposed committee. The Rousseve motion allows for direct student participation through membership on the committee. The committee in the . attersall motion would be made up of members of the Senate, but the chairman of the Senate” may invite participation in the deliberation of the committee by the ASUO President or his representative.” After hearing the Senate’s recommendations on the respective motions, the Faculty will make the final decision.
