Date: 09/11/90 <br /> From: Linda Norris CEPNLHN - RIS1 <br /> To: Bob Hammitt CEWMJRH - RIS1 <br /> Subject: Tree Commission <br /> Bob, I talked to Sharon Rudnick this afternoon. She said you can tell <br /> the Tree Commission chair that it is a Charter violation for anyone on the <br /> commission to become involved in, or try to influence the filling of the <br /> Urban Forester position. Since the Commission is appointed by Council and <br /> acts as agents of the Council, they have the same restrictions as does the <br /> Council about getting involved in administrative issues. Sharon said her <br /> opinion is that an employee cannot be on a Commission. She couldn't find <br /> the cite in the Eugene Code, so was going to go back to her office to <br /> look at the State Statute about conflict of interest. I'll let you know <br /> as soon as I hear from her. These are the two questions Johnny asked to <br /> to talk to Sharon about. Do they address your concerns? Linda <br />
