Development,
crime are
biggest fears
in Lane Co.
Lane County government
should concentrate on matters
involving criminal prosecution,
planning for county growth and
development and consumer
protection, according to
questionnaire results discussed
Wednesday at the County
Commissioners meeting.
The survey was conducted by
Ann Ranta, a U of 0 student, on
field placement at Lane County
last spring and Bob Swank,
research assistant for Lane
Council of governments. Twenty
five per cent, 638 people,
responded to the May
questionnaire.
In addition to the three top
priorities, a majority per cent
respondents felt the county
should place great emphasis on
the solid waste (garbage)
management system, road
maintenance, preventive
medical services traffic safety
and environmental sanitation
control of sewage disposal.
The respondents also indicated
that county resources should in
the future be involved in im
provement of the solid waste
management system to meet
state and federal environmental
standards (77 per cent yes),
encouraging industrial and
business development which is
planned and environmentally
acceptable (66 per cent yes),
increased provision of social
services (49 per cent yes), im
provement of present jail
facilities (46 per cent yes) and
development of a library system
serving all Lane County residents.

Minority job fair to be held this fall
The Eugene Human Rights Commission agreed Tuesday night to
co-sponsor a “Job Fair” for minorities. The purpose of the fair is to
inform minority job seekers of existing employment opportunities.
The fair will take place Sept. 14, at the Lane County Fairgrounds, and

meeting.

County seeking planning member
The Lane County Board of Commissioners is seeking an interested
person to serve on the Lane County Planning Commission. The
vacancy is created by the resignation of realtor Ralph Fulbright.
While the makeup of the Planning Commission has normally in

dicated that they are undecided whether this policy will be continued.
Current makeup of the Commission fulfills residence
requirements, so Commissioners are free to select a resident from
anywhere within the Lane County Planning Commission district ex
cept those coastal residents within the jurisdiction of the Western
Lane Planning Commission. The dividing line is generally the eastern
boundary of the Mapleton School District (or the crest of the Coast
Range).
Members of the Planning Commission serve for a three-year term
with a limit of two terms. Persons interested in serving on the Com
mission should write to the Board of County Commissioners, Lane
