BACKGROUND As a matter of procedure, the City Council is routinely asked to ratify the actions taken by the Intergovernmental Relations (IGR) Committee. This is done by submitting the minutes of each committee to the council. Actions on which the committee is not unanimous are brought before the full council for consideration. There was one action at the May 12, 2005, meeting on which the committee was not unanimous. The action involved Senate Bill 1043. There were three actions at the May 26, 2005, meeting on which the committee was not unanimous. Those actions involved a grant approval request from Planning and Development regarding a 2005-2007 TGM Application for Code Audit, House Bill 3473, and Senate Bill 7lA. RELATED CITY POLICIES Ratification of IGR Committee actions is the making or affirming of the City of Eugene's policy with respect to Federal and State legislative issues, or such other matters as may come to the council from the committee.
