The Eugene City Council met ear
lier this month to review strategic ob
jectives and proposed actions for the
2003-04 goal cycle. Included in these
objectives was the desire to strength
en the relationship between the city
of Eugene and the University.
The council has targeted three
specific areas in order to improve
the relationship between the city
and the University: implementation
of recommendations stemming
from the West University Scoping
Report, siting of the new basketball
arena and improvement in the coor
dination between the University De
partment of Public Safety and the
Eugene Police Department.
The West University Scoping Re
port is part of a West University Task
Force effort to study and recommend
strategies to address “behavioral
problems and improve the long-term

livability41 of the neighborhood west
of the University. The area has been
plagued with problems including a
riot in late September.
Eugene City Councilor David Kelly
said the task force seeks to provide a
more direct partnership between the
University and the city than has been
seen in the past.
“So far, in the East Campus area,
there has been very little city govern
ment involved,” Kelly said.
He added the implementation of
the recommendations made in the
scoping report — coupled with par
ticipation in the task force by mem
bers of the community, city officials
and University planners — would
help to ease any problems the city
may have with the University and
students living in the area.
“Because the University is so large,
it can have a tremendous impact on
the city and on the neighborhoods and
community members,” Kelly said.
“Because of these impacts, the prob
lems are best worked out with help. ”
The University basketball arena
could also have a major impact on
the city, especially in the form of in
creased revenue, University Planner
Chris Ramey said. City councilors
plan to work with University repre
sentatives to outline criteria and
goals for the project that would bene
fit both the city and the University.
The last area being targeted in the
effort to assist the relationship be
tween the University and the city is
the coordination of DPS and EPD.
According to the goal statement, the
council would like to see a “reduction
in campus area public safety prob
lems; more efficient process for cam
pus area drug and alcohol citations;
and a reduction in EPD campus-re
lated work.”
DPS Associate Director Tom Hicks
said enabling DPS officers with the
authority to issue citations for mu
nicipal violations to students on cam
pus would lower the work load of EPD
officers. Hicks added that “all in all,
the relationship, while it may need to
be looked at, has been very beneficial
on both sides.”
The council goals process allows
city councilors to review and direct
activities related to the organizations
priorities. However, Ward 2 City
Councilor Betty Taylor said the ob
jectives have not been formally
adopted yet and, according to the
council guidelines, still remain sub
ject to change in the future.
