ITEMS FROM MAYOR AND COUNCIL, APPOINTMENTS, ANNOUNCEMENTS, AGENDA ADJUSTMENTS A. Distribution of TransPlan e Councilor Bascom announced that the Metropolitan Area Transportation Committee had met and are distributing copies of the TransPlan, which councilors will receive before long. She said the projected vehicle registration in this area is seven percent of the projected vehicle registration in the state, but the area will only receive two percent of the State funds for street and highway improvements. She said our area is underfunded by the State. City represen- tatives should have an incentive for working hard to get a fair share of State funds. Answering a question from Councilor Wooten, Ms. Bascom said the TransPlan replaces the T-2000 Plan. The TransPlan contains projections for an addi- tional population of 100,000, but it does not project a date when the metro- politan area will have an additional 100,000 people. B. L-COG Appreciation Dinner Councilor Schue said the L-COG Appreciation Dinner will be held October 25, 1985. She urged councilors to attend. Senator Hatfield will speak. C. Police and Fire Response Times Councilor Miller said he has received inquiries from constituents about police and fire response times. He suggested the council review cost estimates of increasing the number of police officers and firefighters. Mr. Gleason responded that the council.s goal-setting session would be an appropriate time to discuss service levels. He will prepare a report. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 9, 1985 Page 1 v
