Item A: Priority Setting for JEO Meeting

Home Browse Search

COUNCIL OPTIONS The City Council needs to develop a short list of four priority items to present for discussion at the February 12 JEO meeting. Further, after the development of this list, there should be a discussion by the council of expectations for outcomes at the JEO meeting. The outcomes for the meeting are, of course, specifically dependent upon the items on the list itself, but could include items such as commitments to further meetings, commitment of resources, or the development of agreements. CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION In light of the City Council goals and other emerging issues, the City Manager recommends that the following items be considered as a starting point for the January 30 work session: Transportation planning/TransPlan ? Transportation funding ? Homeless issues ? Metro Plan Update, Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) ? Given the time constraints of a joint meeting, it is conceivable that each jurisdiction will have time to raise and discuss only one or two of their priorities on February 12. In order to make the best use of that time and to facilitate the City Council’s discussion on January 30, an email outlining a proposed process for refining Eugene’s list will be developed and sent under separate cover. It should also be noted that additional joint meetings to discuss jurisdictional priorities may be scheduled in the future. SUGGESTED MOTION No motion is offered for this item; this work session is an opportunity for discussion of the priority list. ATTACHMENTS A. City of Springfield Priority List for JEO Meeting B.
