Vote: Ordinance will be revised
■ Continued from Page 1
However, after the passage of the changes to the or
dinance and funding approvals, the council voted to
give the ordinance an ending date of June 30,1998.
At this date, and in the time from now until then, the
council will attempt to develop different long-term
options for Eugene’s homeless.
After an open forum, where the council fielded
comments and recommendations for the public, they
approved $150,000 in immediate service funding for
homeless programs and adopted an ordinance that
will increase the locations where homeless people
can sleep.
The council’s decision comes at an important time
as the encroaching cold weather of the winter season
will affect Eugene’s increasing number of homeless
people. According to Tom Musselwhite, who is on
the steering committee for the Homeless Action
Coalition, the number of people who are homeless or
in danger of becoming homeless in the Eugene area
has doubled from 2 to 4 percent over the past 3 to 4
years. He attributes the figures to the population in
crease Eugene has endured, and also to the wages
available for workers to afford housing.
“Things are happening a lot more quickly now
than 20 years ago," he said. “There’s plenty of work
to be done, but there’s just not enough profitable
work out there.”
Court: Users still have to pav for access

Service that they can't implement
a program for very basic uses of
public lands,” said Dan Stotter,
the defendants’ lawyer. Stotter, a
local environmental and natural
resource law attorney, said drink
ing water, bathroom facilities and
road access are basic services. He
said he does believe the agency
can charge for using trails and
campgrounds.
Stotter said he believed Coffin’s
judgment affirmed that the South
Jetty is a public right-of-way and
that the Forest Service cannot cur
tail its use or charge for it. Stotter
said he believed the agency will
regroup after the ruling, and he
expects that a healthy dialogue
will develop between the public
and the agency.
‘‘If the public, doesn’t back the
program, it won’t work," he said.
Sandy Berger, spokeswoman
for the Forest Service, said it
would take some time for federal
lawyers to analyze Coffin’s ruling
for its greater effect on the recre
ation fee program. In the short
term, she said recreation users
won't be charged the $3 fee for the
use of the South Jetty Road, in
compliance with the riding.
However, the user-fee collec
tion station will remain on the
South Jetty Road for recreation
users to buy $3 passes for day use
and $25 annual passes. Rick
Alexander, public affairs officer
for the Siuslaw National Forest,
said recreation users will still
have to buy a pass while using the
Oregon Dunes parking areas, off
road vehicle staging areas, picnic
areas and bathrooms.
Berger said the Forest Service
will continue to charge for the
parking lots, trail heads, off-high
way vehicle staging areas and
boat launches, in addition to oth
er recreational facilities.
The defendants received sup
port from the Surfrider Founda
tion, an international organization
with 30,000 members throughout
the world that deals with water
cleanliness, beach conservation
and beach access issues, said
Scott Sherwood, chairman of the
Oregon chapter. The chapter, lo
cated in Eugene, has about 100
members, Sherwood said.
“This [victory] isn’t just for
surfing,” Sherwood said. “It's for
everyone.”
