Responding to a question from Mr. Green about the CIC, Mr. Boles said the CIC's charge is to review land use planning issues and major internal plans that have a citizen-involvement component, such as the DPS Long-Range Plan. Mr. Boles said CIC's goal is that citizens are provided adequate opportuni- ties to get involved and be informed. In response to a concern expressed by Mr. MacDonald about the Metro Plan update, Mr. Boles suggested that the League of Oregon Cities lobby for State funding for such an update. Councilors concurred that the Metro Plan needs to be updated and that funding sources to accomplish this should be explored. I.

Councilors discussed how to conduct the FY93 budget process in light of Eu- gene Decisions. Mr. Robinette supported a placeholder budget in order to maintain services through FY93 and be consistent with Eugene Decisions.
