worked-with City staff to provide forums for discussions of annexation issues. Issues such as annexation and the transfer of planning and bu 1 di ng permit processing to the City from the County will necessitate increased communica- tion and cooperation between the City and these community organizations in the future. Adoption of a formal limited neighborhood recognition policy for these community organizations would be in the public interest and would: (a) Create a clear link between the City and each of the organi- zations, providing an opportunity for residents and property owners in the areas to become more familiar with the City, the manner in which it operates, and the benefits it has to offer. (b) Improve commun'i cati on s between the City and these organiza- tions by enabling the leaders of the organizations to become. members of the Eugene Neighborhood Leaders Association, and i n s ng that the City's Neighborhood Liaison would attend regular meetings of the organi- zations as the City's representative. (c) Provide that upon formal recognition, the organizations would become advisory groups to the City Council , .Planning Commission, and other city boards and commissions on matters affecting their neighborhoods. (d) Insure that members of the organizations would be invited to attend neighborhood workshops, including, but not limited to neighborhood health and safety, leadership, and newsletter workshops. (e) Enable the utilization of the existing process for -referrals to neighborhood groups in the event the transfer of planning and .build - i ng permits from the County to the City is approved.
