continued from page 1
Because the city council adopted
state criteria tor reassigning coun

would have moved Bettman from her
current Ward 3 to Ward 4, north of the
Willamette River. The state policy
dictates that the representative with
the highest number of constituents in
the district remain assigned there.
Bettman, who currently repre

hood and a large part of the Univer
sity campus, will now become the
councilor in the new Ward 1 in
South Eugene.
The resolution follows eight
months of work on the new districts
bv planners and council members,
who did not always see a clear end
to the task.
“It has been a painstaking, long
and at times painful process,”
Councilor Scott Meisner said.
The other option before the coun

The council redraws the bound

Eugene grew about 22 percent in the
last decade, with Wards 5 and 6 grow
ing the most in size. These wards are
north of the Willamette River, in the
Santa Clara and Cal Young/Coburg
Road neighborhoods.
“We need a plan that more fairly
divides up the area,” Nathanson
said. “I want a plan that has the
long-term best interests of the city.”
The new ward boundaries must
be in place by Jan. 1,2002.
