Public Comment Chris Wiig – Chair of Democratic Party of Lane County come to speak on behalf of the Rental Housing Code Advisory Committee. The only item not of consensus on the Committee was to make code permanent. Asked HRC to support RHC. J. Iboa – Asked why there was not consensus on making code permanent. C.

Frenzer – A. Seligmann could speak more to the request. A. Seligmann – We would actually like to increase the request to $400 to cover two ASL interpreters. There was $2000 earmarked from the Human Rights Commission for a previous event that was not entirely spent, and could be used for this event. 99 W. 10th Avenue, Suite 116, Eugene, OR 97401 541.682.5177 |ehroffice@ci.eugene.or.us | www.eugene-or.gov/hrc 3 Councilor Semple – Signing is very important, this is an incredibly inclusive event, to have the signers there is a significant proclamation of inclusivity. J. Iboa – Will there be signing throughout event? J. Frenzer – It would be for the rally before the event and after. J. Iboa – The HRC needs to staff a table and have literature available. Motion: Move to approve $400 to support the Women’s March of Eugene. Made by: A. Walsh Second: Councilor Semple Vote: Unanimous Lunch Match Event K. Neubeck – This request of $100 is from a student in social work. She wants to identify people from the business & housed community to match up with unhoused individuals and discuss homelessness. I am familiar with her through Occupy Medical. J. Johnson – What is the intended outcome for this? K. Neubeck – She is hoping to change perspectives on homelessness. J. Frenzer – Could she submit a report on the outcome? K. Neubeck – I think that is part of the requirement for people receiving funding, that they report back on their use of the funding. J. Lleras Van Der Haeghen – We do receive reports from some people. J. Frenzer – Maybe that is something we could see in our packets? A. Seligmann – I’m interested to know who will be invited. J. Frenzer – I think it would be people from rest stops. J. Johnson – It will be housed individuals who have not experienced poverty. Councilor Semple – I support it from my experiences at the Dining Room. I would be interested in reading a report on the opportunity and seeing who will be invited from the housed community. I would like to see future work from requestor if this experience is successful. J. Frenzer – It would be great to see the work continue in the Neighborhood Leaders Council. Motion: Move to approve $100 funding to support the Lunch Match Event. Made by: J. Frenzer Second: J. Iboa Vote: Unanimous 4. Council Update K. Neubeck – I would like to introduce Katie Babits as the new Human Rights Analyst. K. Neubeck – Welcome to our new City Councilor Emily Semple. E. Semple – I am excited about my involvement on City Council and with the Human Rights Commission. She spoke to her advocacy in homelessness. J. Frenzer – One thing we will want to talk to you about is the Right to Rest Bill from the State of Oregon. 5. EPD Liaison Update K. Neubeck – I would also like to introduce Lt. Natt as our replacement for Lt. Bills as EPD Liaison. 99 W. 10th Avenue, Suite 116, Eugene, OR 97401 541.682.5177 | ehrcenter@ci.eugene.or.us | www.eugene-or.gov/hrc 4  Lt. Natt – I will be in his role for three years. The report for 2017 has had one incident to report in Glenwood during an altercation when someone used another’s race during the altercation. K. Neubeck – What race was in question? Lt. Natt – It was Hispanic/Latino. Lt. Natt some my current work is working on homelessness. We recently hosted a group from Salem to share what’s working in Eugene. Salem representatives see the benefit but do not have the community support to have the success of Eugene. K. Neubeck - We have a homelessness workgroup with 15 community members. They are pushing the issue of criminalization of homelessness. Lt. Natt would you be open to speak with the work group regarding criminalization? Lt. Natt – Yes, I’m open to speaking about it, and will share that there is an individual who is assigned to decriminalization of homelessness and will inform when their name is confirmed. 6. Sanctuary City Update B. Souza - Update on sanctuary city ordinance. Dave Fidanque and I met with the City Manager. The City Manager put out an administrative order regarding the immigration order. The City Manager is open to adding to the order regarding not having a registry for the Muslim community. The Mayor’s Ad Hoc committee will be meeting on January 22nd and again on February 3rd. J. Frenzer – Is the hearing set yet? J. Lleras Van Der Haeghen – The Ad Hoc Committee settles on language, then timeline and process can move to City staff. Speaking with Mayor is a necessary step since she sets the agenda. B. Souza – The Inter-Governmental Relations staff Ethan Nelson will take draft to City, and it should be there by February 3rd. J. Frenzer – Community members have had meetings working with Phil Carrasco. Community groups have spoken at various events and have a number of contacts from community discussions. I would like to see some of those involved to come for public comment. K. Neubeck – I have been in contact with Kate and Allie, and the date of meetings and approvals is a moving target. This Thursday I will attend Friendly Area Neighborhood meeting to hear their wishes for the Sanctuary City Ordinance. J. Iboa – What is the meeting on January 27th? K. Neubeck – It is the drafting committee. J. Lleras Van Der Haeghen – This committee was appointed by Mayor Piercy. There will also be staff support for the committee including me, Jason Dedrick, Mia Cariaga. B. Souza – Dave Fidanque, Johanis, Phil Carrasco. J. Iboa – There are other efforts in cities similar to ours. I’m interested to see what the Human Rights Commission can do to connect with other cities, or see what we can learn to do it better. Countywide? 4J? What is the best way for us to contribute without stepping outside of our boundaries? B. Souza – Phil was looking at other cities right after the election both within and outside of the state. J. Iboa – Ken, could we make a statement saying that we as the Human Rights Commission would like to promote Lane County as a sanctuary county? K. Neubeck – I think we’re making progress and will have a sanctuary city ordinance that will influence the county and school district. I will keep people aware of how that evolves. 7. Rental Housing Code 99 W. 10th Avenue, Suite 116, Eugene, OR 97401 541.682.5177 | ehrcenter@ci.eugene.or.us | www.eugene-or.gov/hrc 5  Norton Cavel and John VanLandingham came to speak to the work done on the Rental Housing Code. N. Cavel – As a member of the subcommittee on rental housing code I am here to share information with you about the Rental Housing Code. The proposed draft changes some things, and reflects what state law currently requires and has an enforcement mechanism that the state law does not. The downfall is that too few tenants know this program exists. Money will be going into outreach over the next few years. Could use help from HRC in making the community aware of this work. Minority communities are most effected from issues outlined in RHC and need the outreach. J. VanLandingham – I work with Legal Aid and represent low income tenants. We see that some tenants won’t make complaints, specifically minorities will not make complaints. Asks the Human Rights Commission to support the Rental Housing Code. K. Neubeck - Can people receive the Rental Housing Code information within their lease? J. VanLandingham - It is not in state law, although some cities do require above state law. It is not clear that a tenant would read the agreement were it included, however anything would probably help. J. Johnson - Are things in cities like Portland that have worked well that we are not doing? J. VanLandingham - Gresham & Corvallis are more effective. Corvallis does better job at outreach. N. Cavel - Corvallis community is smaller, with mostly students who are educated. Gresham does mandatory inspections, they have greater problems there. We would like to propose to continue providing an oversight mechanism here in Eugene as part of the Rental Housing Code. J. Johnson - What beyond current can be done? N. Cavel - That is what city staff are trying to figure out. J. Frenzer - Could there be an LTD ad, with know your rights information? The court has a landlord-tenant mediation. J. VanLandingham - I hope to get to them before they get to that point, because an eviction notice has already been filed at that point. K. Neubeck – I’d like to request a vote on the letter. A. Seligmann - I would like to add the word ‘age’ to the letter. L. Foltz - The list in the letter is taken directly from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Motion: Move to approve letter of recommended changes to Rental Housing Code Made by: J. Johnson Second: B. Souza Vote: 8-0-1 (Semple) L. Foltz clarified that it would be submitted as written testimony. 8. HRC Chair and Vice Chair Succession Planning K. Neubeck – WE wanted to talk to you all about succession planning because on June 30th J. Frenzer’s first term will be over and I will be terming out. At this point she has not decided if she will re-apply to continue her work with the Commission. If any members are interested in Chair/Vice Chair opportunities, they can shadow the work currently done in the months to come. K. Neubeck - Being chair involves representing the committee to the press and writing things like the letter previously discussed. J. Frenzer – If you are involved with a busy workgroup, it is likely you have learned enough of the duties, but if you are less involved and would like to include more experience, it could be helpful to shadow. 99 W. 10th Avenue, Suite 116, Eugene, OR 97401 541.682.5177 | ehrcenter@ci.eugene.or.us | www.eugene-or.gov/hrc 6  J. Lleras Van Der Haeghen - The bylaws state that a commissioner needs to have one year served on the Commission to be Chair, but there is no requirement for Vice Chair. 9. NAACP/BIG dinners J. Lleras Van Der Haeghen - The City is providing two seats for Human Rights Commission to attend each event. One dinner is for Blacks in Government, and one is for the NAACP Freedom Fund Dinner. You all will want to identify who is interested in attending each dinner and then decide if you’d like to spend additional money to purchase seats beyond the two we’ve allotted. J. Johnson – both B. Souza – NAACP J. Frenzer – NAACP A. Seligmann – BIG J Iboa - I may be attending the NAACP Dinner in an organizational capacity A. Walsh – NAACP K. Neubeck – NAACP Motion: Move to authorize spending for three additional people to attend the Freedom Fund Dinner up to $225 Made by: J. Johnson Second: B. Souza Vote: Unanimous 10. IHRD Debrief A. Seligmann – The event came in under budget. The Safeway order came in not as ordered so was free, used Atrium as facility, also free, and the event came in way under budget. Kevin Summerfield brought in a great group from Churchill. The young people who spoke did a great job, Mayor Piercy was very touched and thanks to City staff who helped. K. Neubeck - Thank you A. Seligmann for your involvement. 11. Work Group Lead Updates J. Frenzer – The homelessness work group will determine how they will facilitate dialog on what to highlight as the most important barriers and criminalization issues based on the research done by staff. The work group will report back to HRC and to CMO. K. Neubeck – Where are we at with the Right to Rest Bill? J. Frenzer - In our meeting in November we asked that Councilor Pryor take this bill to the Council to ask that council formally support it so that we could participate in lobbying for it. J. Lleras Van Der Haeghen - Councilor Pryor was no longer at the meeting, I’m not sure if he knew that request was made unless HRC members reached out to him. You could also request Councilor Semple to bring it forward to Council. Councilor Semple - I will check with Councilor Pryor to determine where the bill left off. B. Souza - What is the lead group that is lobbying for this bill. K. Neubeck -The Western Regional Advocacy Group. B. Souza -An update on the Anti-Discrimination work group is that we hey are pulling together one last focus group of African American youth. They are aiming for a large meeting in spring with all participants from all focus groups to compile feedback on the draft report before it is finalized and submitted to City Council. 99 W. 10th Avenue, Suite 116, Eugene, OR 97401 541.682.5177 | ehrcenter@ci.eugene.or.us | www.eugene-or.gov/hrc 7 12. Commission Liaison B. Souza – At the Civilian Review Board there was a training on implicit bias, the next meeting will be on February 15th, moved because of Valentine’s Day. J. Iboa – The MUPTE Review Panel met today, we approved a memo to Jon Ruiz. We have only received one application. The application now only requires for 10% of the housing to be considered workforce housing for MUPTE. I will update you all when another application comes in. I am concerned that MUPTE requirements have a limited scope because they no longer require the applicant to have 30% of their building dedicated to workforce housing. A. Thomson - The Moving Ahead Transportation committee will be meeting later this month. K. Neubeck – As the liaison to EHRB I have a few updates. They are in the process of implementing the Equity and Human Rights Plan and the departments are required to create their own plans. What began 5 to 6 years ago is becoming institutionalized. Each department has its own culture and has its own way to grapple with in respect to human rights. J. Iboa - I am interested in hearing from the person in charge of hiring practices. 13. Staff Update J. Lleras Van Der Haeghen is excited that Katie Babits is on board and they have a full staff. The office has been busy with cold weather and all have been working diligently to connect people with services. She is impressed with dedication from staff working to create department equity and human rights plans. The City Council calendar has the following upcoming dates: 1/18 – Council discussion on minimum wage 1/23 – Council action on the Rental Housing Code Ordinance 1/25 – Council Work Session on Renter Protections 2/7 – Listening Leads to Action – a community forum and dialogue. 2/8 – Council Work Session on Inclusionary Zoning 2/21 – Public Hearing on Rest Stops and Dusk to Dawn Programs 2/27 – Council action on Rest Stop and Dusk to Dawn Programs You all may want to weigh in on these issues and provide comment to Council. HRNI brought on an intern for15 to 20 hours per week, who interested in getting to know local human rights work. She will intern for at least three months and potentially longer. She is a local high school grad. K. Neubeck - Is there an update on the Korean student interested in interning? J. Van Der Haeghen – Not at this time, I hope to have one by the end of the week. J. Iboa – There are some efforts in local organizations lobbying, can HRC support or endorse legislation? J. Frenzer – We can only lobby on things that council has endorsed. If there are bills you are interested in a Council stance on, we can bring it up. 99 W. 10th Avenue, Suite 116, Eugene, OR 97401 541.682.5177 | ehrcenter@ci.eugene.or.us | www.eugene-or.gov/hrc 8  J. Iboa – I had a chance to talk with Eric Richardson about tracking bills from Lou Frederick on police accountability statewide efforts that could impact Eugene. There are changes in state law. He will send out to the Commission and Jen will send out options. B. Souza - What is the intern’s availability and experience in events? J. Lleras Van Der Haeghen – The intern is interested in event coordination. She currently leads a debate team, and any lead time would be helpful to coordinate with her schedule. 14. Announcements J. Frenzer – The Women’s March could use more volunteers, it would be helpful if you have de- escalation techniques and peacekeeping abilities. J. Iboa – Will ask Civil Liberties Defense Center if they are available to be legal observers. J. Frenzer - The Facebook post has 3,000 attending, Eugene is representing as a sister march counting toward the national march. The numbers empower elected officials to also act as activists. A. Seligman – Mayor Vinis and Councilor Semple will be speaking at the march. J. Lleras Van Der Haeghen – The Point in Time count training is coming up. J. Frenzer – You can also train online and they need more volunteers. Motion: Move to adjourn the Human Rights Commission meeting. Made by: J. Frenzer Second: J.

I apologize for the lateness but our Board is in transition and our request from the treasurer slipped through the cracks. 2. What I a Water Warrior and why a Run4Salmon Juventud FACETA youth, graduates, mentors, staff and board have been part of the Winnemem Support Group of Oregon recruited by the Chief of the tribe, Caleen Sisk, and have been part of the Winnemem Ceremonies for several years. We have been Watter Warriors with Water Warriors of the tribe and the Water Warriors of inner city youth in Los Angeles. We all have river projects. The youth of LA cleaned up their river. And we are concerned with the wild salmon runs. Our Water Warrior Project works very closely with the tribe. We work very hard at the ceremonies, whether it is to raise the arbor, cook in the kitchen, get firewood, sing in the circle, or run. Running is a form of prayer. It is offering our energy and in this case it is to run for salmon runs. It is to take the place at the McCloud River in California where salmon no longer swim praying for their return. It is running on the Columbia where dam projects (19) have affected the salmon runs as the giant Shasta Dam with no fishway has exterminated the salmon run on the McCloud River. And we also run on our own Willamette River. In fact, we were told by Parks and Rec that the eagle had not nested along the river for years. And when we began running our prayer on the Willamette even on a very rainy day for our first Wild Salmon Run , Eugene Parks and Rec said that the eagle came back to nest! Every year at the run, we see eagle. Where there are salmon, there are eagle. In the Winnemem Ceremony in August, the Fire and Water Ceremony we follow the journey of our salmon on our three water falls. At the first water fall, the Lower Falls, we jump off a high falls, quite a challenge, and we remember that the salmon jump up the falls, which is a hard task for them. At the Middle Falls, we swim behind the falls, which is the breadth of the whole river, and are pounded by the aerated water. We are reminded that the salmon must swim through that much of the way up to the spawning areas. The third falls, the Upper Falls is where we dive into the deep pool of an even higher falls, and get our own stone or rock and come up for air. The salmon must shove the gravel around in the spawning waters to put its eggs. We keep that rock to remember 17 this challenge, and to remember the Salmon. The McCloud River Salmon are in New Zealand waters on the other side of the world presently, direct descendants of wild Chinook eyed eggs which were shipped there in the late 1800’s. Now with the demise of the Mc Cloud River Salmon runs, this New Zealand salmon can save that run if we are allowed to bring them back. The Maori and New Zealand Fish and Game are our allies in this endeavor. The US Bureau of Reclamation holds the key and presently, they are just beginning to show interest in our fish but still leaning toward the lower Sacramento salmon, and truck and hauling both ways. That project will not be successful. So just as the salmon do we must struggle hard to make it happen. That’s where Run4Salmon comes in. We are a part of the organizing team of this project in which we travel the distance of the McCloud River Salmon when they come home. We will go from the estuary on the Bay Delta at Vallejo where they wait and change, and we go the distance of the Sacramento River into the confluence with Cow Creek when it becomes the McCloud in the northern mountain areas of the Winnemem. And into the mountains where the spawn. The distance is covered by many groups. We will participate in running for sure but some of us may also canoe, bike, walk. Our celebrity, Nahko Bear will lead a horseback segment into the mountainous area where it’s difficult to access by cars, where our salmon finally go to spawn. This run is so important. We are the carriers of the salmon staff, and at our Wild Salmon Run is where we pass it over to the Chief to take home and prepare for the big two week Run4Salmon. These are our responsibilities and our honor as Water Warriors. Thank you for your attention, The Juventud FACETA Water Warriors. 18 EUGENE CITY COUNCIL AGENDA February 22, 2017 12:00 p.m. CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION Harris Hall 125 East 8th Avenue Eugene, Oregon 97401 Meeting of February 22, 2017; Her Honor Mayor Lucy Vinis Presiding Councilors Alan Zelenka, President Mike Clark, Vice President George Poling Greg Evans Emily Semple Chris Pryor Claire Syrett Betty Taylor 12:00 p.m. CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION Harris Hall, 125 East 8th Avenue Mayor: I call the February 22, 2017, City Council work session to order.

BACKGROUND At the November 14, 2016 meeting, City Council passed Council Resolution No. 5174, “declaring the City of Eugene’s commitment to being a welcoming, inclusive, and safe community for everyone” (Attachment A). In response to continued community interest, City Council at their December 12, 2017 meeting directed the Mayor to form an Ad Hoc Committee to establish proposed outcomes for a potential ordinance to make Eugene a “sanctuary city.” The Ad Hoc Committee met twice in late in January and early February and created a document that contains proposed outcomes for an ordinance (Attachment B). This document also contains the names of committee members, an overview of their process and some additional considerations for City Council on this topic. At the November meeting of the Human Rights Commission (HRC), substantial testimony was received from community members in support of Eugene becoming a “sanctuary city.” In response to this testimony, the HRC created a subcommittee to further discuss steps that could be taken and to create draft ordinance language, should the City Council wish to pursue this is as course of action. The HRC approved a draft ordinance (Attachment C) at their December meeting, following substantial testimony once again in support of an ordinance. RELATED CITY POLICIES Efforts associated with ensuring Eugene is a safe, welcoming, inclusive community relate to Council goals on safe community and effective, accountable municipal government. 21  RESOLUTION NO. 5174 A RESOLUTION DECLARING THE CITY OF EUGENE’S COMMITMENT TO BEING A WELCOMING, INCLUSIVE, AND SAFE COMMUNITY FOR EVERYONE The City Council of the City of Eugene finds that: A. As the Mayor and City Council of the City of Eugene, we are united in our commitment to serve the people that we represent after the culmination of one of the most divisive general elections in our Country's history. B. In alignment with City Council’s goal of creating a safe and welcoming community, we are firm in our resolve to ensure that all people residing in, visiting and passing through the City of Eugene are safe. We choose to be a leader in promoting human rights and social justice and equity, public safety and social well-being. C. The City of Eugene has a long standing history and commitment of supporting many communities who are experiencing hate, bias and discrimination and the City Council has adopted Ordinances and Resolutions that demonstrate this commitment, including: 1. Human Rights Municipal Code provisions, EC 4.613 - 4.655 (adopted in 1971, with the most recent amendment adopted in 2014 which made it unlawful to discriminate based on gender (Ord. 20523)) 2. Resolution 5073 (adopted 2012) Support of a Statement of Principles for Immigrant Integration 3. Resolution 5142 (adopted in 2015) A Resolution Declaring the Urgency of the Housing and Homelessness Crisis 4. Resolution 5148 (adopted in 2016) A Resolution Declaring the Second Monday of October as Indigenous Peoples’ Day 5. Resolution 5150 (adopted in 2016) A Resolution Supporting the Oregon Convention on Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women 6. Resolution 5154 (adopted in 2016) A Resolution Declaring the City of Eugene’s Commitment in Protecting Refugees D. We believe in and are committed to continue our work to build a community that is welcoming, inclusive, just and safe for everyone.

The Eugene City Council previously expressed an interest in looking more closely at a potential Sanctuary City ordinance for the community. At the December 12, 2016 meeting of the Eugene City Council, Mayor Piercy approved Councilor Pryor’s request to form an Ad Hoc Committee to provide information to Council on this topic. The goal of the group was to “bring back to City Council, the concepts, goals, and outcomes” for a potential Sanctuary City ordinance. The Ad Hoc Committee met on January 27 and February 3. Based on input received from the community, staff created a list of draft outcomes for a potential ordinance prior to the first meeting. This became the basis for committee discussion. Included below are the final outcomes and considerations that the committee has agreed a potential ordinance should address. Sanctuary City Ad Hoc Committee Outcomes Staff have received input related to a potential Sanctuary City ordinance from the community through meetings with interested parties, e-mails and public testimony at City Council and Human Rights Commission meetings. In addition to the draft ordinance forwarded to Council by the Human Rights Commission, the following five outcomes reflect what has been conveyed via these avenues. Four additional considerations are also included. In order to reassure vulnerable populations who reside or work in the City and to assure those protections would remain in place if there is action at the state level that removes the existing protections contained within ORS 181A.250 and 181A.820, the Human Rights Commission and community members would like to see the following outcomes at the local level: 1. Maintain, clarify and expand the current direction within State statute (enforcement of federal immigration laws), (ORS 181A.820) that states no law enforcement agency of the state or political subdivision (in this case Eugene Police Department (EPD)), shall use agency moneys, equipment or personnel for the purpose of detecting and apprehending persons whose only violation of the law is that they are persons of foreign citizenship present in the US in violation of federal immigration laws, unless it is in regard to a criminal offense. 2. Apply the restriction of use of agency resources for activities outlined in State statute to all departments and activities under the jurisdiction of the City of Eugene. 3. Maintain the current direction within State statute (specific information not to be collected or maintained), (ORS 181A.250) that states no law enforcement agency (in this case EPD), may collect or maintain information about the political, religious or social views, associations or activities of any individual or groups unless it directly relates to an investigation of criminal activities. The term “information” should include not collecting or maintaining information which could be used to create a registry, database or map based on the prohibited criteria (see #5 below). 4. Apply the restriction of use of agency resources for activities outlined in State statute to all departments and activities under the jurisdiction of the City of Eugene. 27  ATTACHMENT B 5. Expanding the list (currently in ORS 181A.250, written in 1981) of covered elements that the city would be restricted from creating and maintaining lists. This has included: race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability and immigration status. Consider using the list contained in ORS 131.915(3), written in 2015, prohibiting police profiling based on such criteria. Other Comments & Considerations 1. If referring to ORS 181A.820 or utilizing language therein, consider if updates or clarifications may be needed (originally written in 1987 and last updated in 2003) 2. Consider including language that the City would not facilitate or actively cooperate with efforts related to # 1 or # 3 above. 3. Consider language that will reinforce the language added to 181A.820 in 2003 that distinguishes between assisting with civil versus criminal proceedings. The intent would be to not do the bidding of Immigration and Customs Enforcement without judicial oversight. For example, the difference between acting on the orders of an individual federal employee versus acting in response to a confirmed violation of a criminal law. 4. When developing language to prohibit the creation of and maintenance of lists based on an individual’s membership to a group, include both actual and perceived membership to said group. Consider language related to #5 above that would include not only actual identification with any of the groups mentioned, but also the perception of identification. 28  ATTACHMENT C DRAFT CITY OF SANCTUARY. It is hereby affirmed that the City of Eugene Oregon is a Sanctuary City. In accordance with ORS 181A.250, Specific information not to be collected or maintained, and ORS 181A.820, Enforcement of federal immigration laws, the City hereby implements the following: USE OF CITY FUNDS AND RESOURCES PROHIBITED. 1) No office of the City of Eugene, including the Eugene Police Department, is permitted to: (a) Conduct surveillance, compile, maintain, or provide a list or registry of city residents that is based on residents' race, ethnicity, color, religion, national origin, language, immigration status, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, housing status, disability, or political or social views or activities, unless such information directly relates to an investigation of criminal activities, and there is reasonable suspicion that the subject of the information is or may be involved in criminal conduct; or (b) Cooperate with the use of such a list or registry to deny human rights. 2) No department, agency, commission, officer or employee of the City of Eugene shall use any City funds or resources to assist in the enforcement of federal immigration law or to gather or disseminate information regarding individuals whose only violation of law is that they are persons of foreign citizenship present in the United States in violation of federal immigration laws. The prohibitions set forth in this Chapter shall include, but shall not be limited to: (a) Assisting or cooperating, in one's official capacity, with any U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) investigation, detention, or arrest procedures, public or clandestine, relating to alleged violations of the civil provisions of federal immigration law.
