Mayor Piercy summarized that there would be a community forum, with specific individuals invited to <br />participate, instead of a community panel. She said that councilors could invite anyone they wished and <br />asked that they submit names to be added to the list. She said the forum format would allow each person <br />two or three minutes to speak unless the council wanted a different format. <br /> <br />Mr. Poling stated that the subcommittee had begun a list of community interests to be involved, including <br />the Neighborhood Leaders Council, Chamber of Commerce, 4J School District, Friends of Eugene, <br />University of Oregon, Lane Community College and communities of color. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy added that the subcommittee asked Mr. Neher to reach out to the Board of County Commis- <br />sioners and the City of Springfield separately in private conversations. <br /> <br />In response to questions from Ms. Bettman, Ms. Holmes summarized that invitations to participate in the <br />forum would be extended, likely by phone, to individuals and organizations on lists from the police auditor <br />recruitment and subcommittee discussions and the media would be used to publicize the forum and <br />opportunity to provide input. She said internal panels would also be part of the input process. <br /> <br />Mr. Zelenka suggested adding the University of Oregon to the list of those to be engaged in a private <br />conversation because of the City’s unique and important relationship with the University. <br /> <br />Mr. Clark commented that the invitation list should be expanded beyond the list used for the police auditor <br />recruitment. <br /> <br />Mr. Poling and Ms. Ortiz explained that the subcommittee had added many organizations and individuals <br />and councilors could also add names to the list. <br /> <br />Ms. Holmes reviewed the scheduled activities: <br /> <br />? <br /> September 12 – City Council work session with recruiter <br />? <br /> September 17 – Community forum <br />? <br /> September 18 – City Council debriefing with recruiter <br />? <br /> September 24 – City Council work session to discuss details and finalize candidate brochure <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy asked staff to inform those invited to the forum that the city manager job description was <br />available for their review. <br /> <br />The meeting adjourned at 7 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Angel Jones <br />Interim City Manager <br /> <br />(Recorded by Lynn Taylor <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council September 10, 2007 Page 7 <br /> Work Session <br />
