By Don Peters
Emerald Associate Edilot
The Eugene ('tty Council. Ward 5 election features
two candidates who are making their first hid at elect
ed office, hut have long histories of public service be
hind them.
Kayo Robinette. 54. is a local
attorney, and Ken Tollenaar.
05. is the senior research asso
ciate for the University Bureau
of Governmental Research and
Service. Both feel they have
unique qualifications for the
North Eugene city council seal
"I think I can make a unique
contribution to the council."
Tollenaar said "Mv back
ground is in slate and local government."
"I never thought I would run." Robinette said. "But
nothing affects us more than city government, and I
think 1 have the skills to help it run better "
Robinette is no newcomer to politics. After graduat
ing first in his class from the University law school in
1960. he went to work for the same law firm as current
Sen Boh I’ackwood. Robinette helped I’ackwood
when he ran for the Oregon Legislature in 1962. and
he has worked on every one of Packwood’s campaigns
ever since. He has also served on the Oregon Board of
Education ami the state Ethics Committee.
"It's been all good experience on how government
operates and should operate." Robinette said
Tollenaar spent lfl years as the director of the Bu
reau of Governmental Research and Service before re
tiring in 198t> to lake the part-time Job he currently
holds His specialty is intergovernmental relations He
received a master's degree in public administration
from the University of Minnesota in 1953, and be has
been a part-time professor at the I Jniversity.
"I think the question is who's the best qualified,"
Tollenaar said "(Robinette) knows schools. I wish he
was running for the school board. but he has no back
ground in city government. I've had extensive govern
ment contacts on many issues."
The economy is Robinette's main concern With an
ever dwindling limiter supply. Robinette said the city
needs to find different types of industry.
"We need to diversify from the (timber) business."
he said. "We need industries that pay wages a person
can raise a family on We need to take the burden off
the timber industry and get jobs not subject to that in
fluence."
Tollenaar agreed atxiut the current state of the ei on
omy. but said he would concentrate more on being the
liaison between the city council and county, state and
national agencies.
"I hope to improve the climate of cooperation," he
said “It's hail its ups and downs, particularly at the
local level Relations between the council and the
county commissioners are OK. but could l>e better.
