Council hopefuls differ on growth
■AM three candidates
attended the University, but
take a distinct approaches to
growth issues
By Darren Freeman
Oregon Daily Emerald
Strategies for striking a balance
between economic growth and
environmental preservation will
likely become the key issues in
the May 16 election to fill the City
Council seat representing Ward 2.
The three candidates’ contrast
mg perspectives on growth are
well reflected by their stance on
whether the city should allow the
Hyundai semiconductor plant to
expand its facility onto nearby
wetlands.
Incumbent Betty Taylor, who
has served on the council since
1997, calls herself a staunch pro
tector of the city’s woodlands and
waterways and opposes all devel
opment that is not environmental
ly friendly. She has opposed
Hyundai’s expansion since it was
first proposed.
Azra Khalidi works as a securi
ty officer and quality control offi
cer for Agripac, Inc., and advo
cates developing Eugene to its
fullest potential to prevent en
croaching on the city’s surround
ing farms and woodlands. She
supports the Hyundai proposal,
saying the plant is vital to Eu
gene’s economy.
Mike Sherlock, president of
Sherlock Oil and a legislative lob
byist, treads the philosophic path
between Taylor’s and Khalidi’s
positions. He supports dense city
development that both leaves the
city’s waterways and parks in
place and prevents the
need for expanding the
urban growth bound
aries. He said he won’t
decide whether
Hyundai should be al
lowed to expand until
he has heard arguments
from both supporters
and detractors of the
proposal.
Though all three can
didates attended the
University and ended up
living within Ward 2,
they come from very dif
ferent backgrounds.
Taylor, 74, is a retired
English teacher who
graduated from the Uni
versity with a Ph.D. in
English. Seeking a sec
ond term on the council,
Taylor has sometimes
stood alone in her efforts
to protect Eugene’s envi
ronment and has re
ceived public criticism
from Mayor Jim Torrey
for being obstinate. But
her supporters disagree
with the mayor and say
Taylor is always willing
to listen and consider all
points of view.
An immigrant from
Pakistan, Khalidi, 46,
holds a master’s degree
in geography, attended graduate
school at the University and is
currently enrolled in a technical
drafting program at Lane Commu
nity College. She’s worked as an
intern and cartographer for feder
al and Lane County government
agencies, where she said she
learned to listen to constituents
and make decisions.
Sherlock, 48, flew cargo planes
for the Air Force after graduating
from the University with a degree
in business. While in the
Air Force, he received a
master’s degree in man
agement and later took
over his family’s busi
ness, Sherlock Oil. He is
also executive director of
the Oregon Gasoline
Dealers Association.
Taylor said she sup
ports finding alternative
revenue sources to re
place regressive taxes,
such as transportation
fees, and scaling back de
pendence upon property
taxes. Another pet proj
ect is a downtown youth
center to get kids off the
streets and into construc
tive activities after
school.
Khalidi said she sup
ports dense urban devel
opment and proposes
moving all city govern
ment offices downtown
to improve efficiency
and increase the vitality
of the area.
Sherlock said he’s run
ning for the seat to steer
the City Council into cre
ating long-term plans
and following through
with them.
The lack of a clear development
plan, Sherlock said, is causing the
city to push its boundaries and in
efficiently use space within city
limits.

the state, she said. A similar con
tract situation must also be
worked through at Oregon State
University before the plan can be
installed.
The contract “is not at all an ob
stacle with the process,’’ Dicken
son said. “I am comfortable with
that.”
The cost of the OUS plan is esti
mated at $14 to $17 per term. In
comparison, the basic medical in
surance through the Health Cen
ter costs $227 per term.
While the mandatory plan will
enable non-traditional students
more reasonable access to med
ical care, some students are not in
favor of paying for care that they
already have.
“Health care is a question of in
dividual preference, not social re
sponsibility,” said Colin Cavash
er, a senior comparative literature
major who is insured. “It should
n't be required.”
Junior biochemistry major Han
nah Grubb, who is insured
through her parents, said that it is
important for everyone to have in
surance at an affordable cost.
“Forty-five dollars a year isn’t
going to break the bank when you
pay $4,500 for tuition,” she said.
With the board’s consent, the
task force can now proceed to fig
ure out the specifics of imple
menting the plan, which will in
elude student input.
In past state board sub-commit
tee meetings, board member
David Koch expressed some con
cerns about developing the plan
without student views. Since he
has not heard any concern from
student governments, Koch is
supporting the plan.
“I support it as a way of insur
ing that students have coverage
they need and not diminishing
their ability to attend the Univer
sity,” said Koch, an environmen
tal studies graduate student.
A temporary method of the
mandatory coverage plan will be
gin this fall at Oregon Institute of
Technology, Eastern Oregon,
Southern Oregon and Western
Oregon universities.

Cycle Logic.
Bicycles are a key component in a healthy transportation system.
Give respect. Get respect.
Give Respect: HOT SPOT - Agate St. crosswalk
Option l: Dismount your bike and walk.
Option 2: Ride your bike no faster than
you would walk.
Apply this logic to all pedestrian
crosswalks.
