Prostitute continued from page 1A adaptable, said Richard Bremer, Whiteaker Public Safety Station manager and Prostitution Task Force member. Proactive Enforcement A police commission subcom mittee discussed Wednesday night at City Hall two city ordi nances and two recommenda tions made by the Prostitution Task Force. The first proposed ordinance would create a “Prostitution Free Zone,” in which people arrested for prostitution are prohibited from entering. The second ordi nance proposal would modify the existing no-cruising ordinance to extend boundaries from down town to areas where prostitution regularly occurs. Because the ordinance would give city officials the power to move the boundaries of both the “Prostitution Free Zone” and no cruising zones, Prostitution Task Force members are confident the ordinances would crackdown on prostitution not only in the West Jefferson area but also throughout the city, Bremer said. “We’re trying not to make this a one-part deal but a continuous ef fort,” Bremer said. The task force also recommend ed the city consider prosecuting prostitutes in the state court sys tem, where the court could man date convicted prostitutes enter drug rehabilitation programs. Police Commission staff mem ber Terry Smith said current pros ecution of prostitutes isn’t en couraging them to leave the streets. He pointed out that of the 131 prostitution arrests made last year of both prostitutes and their customers, the same 37 prosti tutes were arrested 54 times. Most of those 37 prostitutes are addict ed to drugs, he said. Eugene doesn’t offer social service organizations helping prostitutes kick drug habits and leave the streets, Eugene public relations officer Philip Weiler said. Prostitution Task Force members said that trying prosti tutes in the state court system would give them access to the re habilitation services that the city can’t offer. The final recommendation made before the subcommittee was to post the identities of peo ple convicted of soliciting prosti tution on the Internet to combat the buyer end of prostitution and thereby reduce the demand for prostitutes, task force members said. The subcommittee is scheduled to vote April 19 on which propos als will be sent to the Police Com mission. The Police Commission will forward recommendations to the City Council for consideration in June. The subcommittee, Police Commission and City Council will accept public input on the prostitution issue and discuss the effectiveness and legality of the proposals until council makes a decision, scheduled for early this summer. The next public forum on prostitution will be April 13 at 7:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers. Residents fed up “Listening to the folks living here, you can easily understand why they strongly object to the level of prostitution occurring in their neighborhood,” Smith said regarding the West Jefferson neighborhood. West Eighth Avenue between Lincoln and Chambers streets, where police say the most prosti tution occurs, is lined with tall trees and dotted with houses and apartment complexes. But the steady flow of police patrol cars and the regularly cruising cars and trucks are conspicuous re minders of the prostitution in the area. Increased police enforcement and city ordinances aimed at curbing prostitution in the down town area have driven prostitu tion to the West Jefferson area, where alleys, relatively little traf fic and ample parking space make cruising and picking up prosti tutes easier, said Bremer. But interactions aren’t confined to prostitutes and Johns, as the men who pick up prostitutes are called. Many women living in the neighborhood report having been propositioned and harassed by Johns so regularly that they don’t feel safe walking alone down their own streets. Reed Davaz, a University junior double majoring in Spanish and classics, said that she has been ha-' rassed four times in the two months she’s lived on East Eighth Avenue. Davaz said that while she was walking down East Eighth Av enue on her way home from work late at night, a man in a car slowed down and yelled at her: . “What can I get for 20 bucks?” “I was really scared,” Davaz said. “It was creepy.” Davaz said that since the inci dent, she rarely walks alone. “The thing that bothers me most is the Johns,” said Traci Eg bert, who is a manager at New Frontier Market on East Eighth Avenue and Van Buren Street. Egbert said she too has been ha rassed and hears many customers complaining about being solicit ed. The New Frontier Market of fers customers police tip sheets and encourages customers and employees alike to write down the license plate numbers of Johns’ cars and report them to po lice. “You know they’re not stop ping to see if the store’s open,” she said. “I don’t like feeling like a victim whenever I go outside.” Come work for us.
