Sustainability Commission Councilor Ortiz, seconded by Councilor Pryor, moved to waive the Eugene Urban Growth Boundary residency requirement for applicants applying and appointed to the Sustainability Commission. Councilor Bettman objected to the motion. She did not feel there had been public input on this when the code had been adopted. She underscored that the Sustainability Commission was funded by the City and, given the fact that there were 73 applicants, there apparently was a lot of interest from those who resided in the city of Eugene in serving on the commission and therefore there was no need to allow people who lived outside of the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) to serve on it. Roll call vote; the motion passed, 5:3; councilors Ortiz, Taylor, and Bettman voting in op- position. Councilor Ortiz, seconded by Councilor Pryor moved to appoint Rusty Rexius to Position 1 on the Sustainability Commission for a two-year term beginning November 1, 2007, and ending on October 31, 2009.
