EWEB
wants vote
to change
fund use
By JEANIE WAKELAND
Of the Emerald
EWEB members heard a proposed city charter amendment
Monday afternoon designed to get around last year’s court decision
restricting their authority to use EWEB funds.
The amendment, which would require a city-wide vote, was only
discussed at the Monday night meeting. No action was taken on the
EWEB vote proposal.
Written by EWEB General Counsel Windsor Calkins and EWEB
staff members, the proposed amendment places complete control of
the utility in EWEB hands “including disbursement of funds and
(EWEB) is directed in its discretion to operate the system as a
practical successful enterprise.”
An Oregon Court of Appeals ordered EWEB members last
November to repay the utility $14,000 they used to advertise against a
five-year moratorium on nuclear power plants on the city ballot. The
decision was later upheld by the Oregon Supreme Court.
Board President John Tiffany emphasized that the amendment
“was not up for action — just discussion,” and promised to place it on
the agenda of the Board next meeting, July 8.
Calkins explained the need for the amendment by saying, “It
gives the Board powers I thought we had before the court decision.”
He said that he believed the court decision restricted the Board from
even advocating conservation of energy.
Calkins was joined in support of the amendment by the newest
EWEB member, Calvin Schmidt. “The decision-making process
deserves a better atmosphere and this would help it,” he commented.
In other business, EWEB members discussed with staff member
Herb Hunt possible energy cut-back plans. Hunt estimated that if
Eugene does have a power shortage this winter, the most it will have
to cut back is five to six percent of its energy. He believes this can be

SALE TO BE CONDUCTED AT FORMER LOCATION

Security site
to be moved
The campus Planning Com
mission made an advisory
recommendation to University
President Robert Clark Tuesday,
recommending a site on 13th and
Agate for a proposed Campus
Security Building.
Several locations were con
sidered by the Commission on the
basis of proximity to campus,
visibility to visitors, easy access
and circulation of autos, and
availability of short term
parking.
Discussion narrowed the
choices to two sites, the
recommended 13th and Agate
location and the Hayward Ticket
Booth spot. A few members of the
commission expressed concern
over the 13th Avenue site, as
opposed to the Hayward field
site, on the basis of cost. The
Hayward field site was viewed as
possibly allowing a less ex
pensive structure. Only the front
of the building would be visible
when placed under the stands.
Upon further discussion it was
decided that cost differences
would be minor when weighed
against the advantages of the
13th Avenue site. The Com
mission made the recom
mendation with a note that they
would be willing to reconsider
should new and compelling
evidence against their proposed
site come to their attention.
The next step in the process
will be a meeting of the Architect
Selection Committee. The new
Campus Security Building has
been in the planning stages for
the last two years. The proposed
building will be approximately
2000 square feet, occupying a
small section of the available lot
on 13th Avenue.

Near the end of the meeting,
apparently referring to what Mr.
Little had said during its course,
the Springfield Police Chief
questioned under whose
jurisdiction the recommended
investigative services available
to indigents would be placed in
order to avoid conflict of in
terests; he spoke of the
possibility of the misuse or
frivolous use of unlimited funds
for indigent representation and
concluded by saying he was
“further saddened by the ap
parent willingness of some...who
are disillusioned with the system
to exchange what justice we have
under the constitution with
bribery.”
The committee will meet
again publicly at 7:30 next
Monday night to attempt to
arrive at specific recom
mendations to be presented to the
county commissioners. Specific
information on the meeting may
be obtained from the Lane
Council of Governments at 342
1757.
