City hall opens its doors
The usually tranquil, businesslike Eugene
City Hall looked more like a "Saturday market” of
exhibits on city government agencies and
services Monday night.
The “open house” event — the second of its
kind — was the culmination of the city’s "Citizen
Participation Month,” held every October for the
past five years.
Exhibits detailing virtually every city
government operation and informational tables
representing 55 citizen advisory groups dotted
the area outside the city council chambers. About
150 citizens strolled around the grounds, drinking
cider and taking in exhibits ranging from the Fire
Station’s latest paramedic equipment to slide
shows on sewage treatment.
An unusually short city council meeting fol
lowed the open house At the meeting, Eugene
Mayor Gus Keller announced the city’s 1981-82
year goals.
Topping the 10-item list was economic
development and diversification, which Keller
called “a high priority.”
“We re talking about getting ready for a
better economic flavor in the community,” Keller
said
The balance of the list, which includes finan
cial planning, downtown revitalization, Perfor
ming Arts Center support, wastewater
management and community relations and
others, “forms a nice package for us to deal with,”
he added
"These are the priorities the council sees in
the immediate future," Keller said.
Noting that the goals require money — a
“difficult” problem, Keller said, “We want to make
this an ideal community with great livability and
that of course takes money.
“We’ll find that we'll survive the current
economic environment we find ourselves in."
City councilor Betty Smith called the evening
a "success” and said "let’s have more open
houses.”
Keller also asked the city’s most active ci
tizens to stand up and be recognized, but only
three citizens were present to receive the city
council’s thanks.
Eugene citizen participation takes the form of
330 citizens who sit on the 55 advisory boards and
the 700 citizens who participate in the 20 neigh
borhood organizations, Keller said.
“Those 1,000 citizens put in 25,00 hours to
make this community a place we all can be proud
of,” he said.
IFC aarees to fund military seminar i
The Incidental Fee Committee
granted about $4,850 Monday
to help pay for the National
Security Conference planned
for Feb 25-27 at the University
"We'd like students to see the
people who make the deci
sions,” John Stewart, ASUO
vice president for state and
public affairs, told the
committee
Other funding approved by
the committee includes the
release of $2,500 already
allocated as a budget line item
and $3,000 as a loan
The conference, which will
cost $13,000, will feature
debates on national security
strategy, military spending, the
Soviet threat, and military
manpower
Other subjects to be dis
cussed are the influence of
strategic technology on defense
policy, international security
assistance, and the relationship
between nuclear war
deterrence and world response
to United States and Soviet
policies
In other business, the com
mittee unanimously approved
transferring surplus funds from
any organization into the
general surplus fund unless that
money is requested by the
organization
This has been the practice in
the past, chairer Karsten
Rasmussen said
The committee also is hiring a
short-term committee admin
istrator until a “notetaker” can
be hired tor goal hearings.
Rasmussen reported
Although the body did not
take action, committee
members agreed it is best to
allow any organization into the
goal hearing process
