Mayor's Economic Development Committee--Councilors Lindberg/Wooten Report (memo distributed). Ms. Wooten stated that she and Mr. Lindberg had met with John Porter and Jim Farah, Planning, and they decided the best course of action would be to dissolve the Economic Development Committee while noting appreciation for the efforts of the members of this committee. The council should also appoint three members to work with the Economic Development Task Team to provide reports on at least a quarterly basis. Also, additional councilors could participate as they chose. Mr. Lindberg expressed deep appreciation to the Mayor's Committee for the work they had done. Mr. Obie asked if there could be two councilors and one alternate since the council has limited resources for personnel. Ms. Wooten stated that e she would like to be one of those participating. Ms. Miller moved, seconded by Mr. Obie, to adopt the recommenda- tions in the October 23, 1981, memo to dissolve the Economic Development Commission and to appoint two councilors plus one additional councilor as alternate to serve on the Economic Develop- ment Task Team. Ms. Miller noted that she feels that it is establishing a good precedent to terminate a committee when its work is done. Roll call vote: motion carried unanimously. G. Emerald Canal Feasibility Task Force Mr. Lindberg stated that even though applications had come in slowly at first for this task force, the applications that have come in are from highly qualified individuals. Hence, there will be a very balanced committee, with different viewpoints and different areas of expertise. They have consulted with Lane eounty and will recommend expanding the committee by two additional members--one to be appointed by the Eugene City Council and one to be appointed by the County Commissioners. This would require amending Resolution No. 3577, and they would recommend appointing Margie Hendrickson, 5040 Nectar Way, contingent upon amend- ment of that resolution. e MINUTES--Eugene City eouncil October 28, 1981 Page 2
