WORK SESSION: Land Use Transportation Framework <br />Assistant City Manager Sarah Medary introduced Interim Sustainability Manager Kevin Finney, Sustainability <br />Commission Chair Josh Skov and Sustainability Commission member Rusty Rexius. <br />Mr. Finney provided background on the land use and transportation policy framework discussions as outlined in <br />the agenda item summary materials provided to the council. Mr. Finney briefly described the development of <br />the Sustainability Commission's Land Use and Transportation Subcommittee's Action Plan for Eugene and <br />noted that the plan described the foundational factors that the commission had identified in its research and <br />provided specific strategies for advancing a vision for Eugene's future. <br />Mr. Skov thanked the City staff for their support of the Sustainability Commission and particularly thanked <br />Division Manager Kelli Osborn and outgoing Sustainability Manager Kevin Finney. <br />Mr. Poling arrived to the meeting at 12:18 p.m. <br />Mr. Skov noted that the Sustainability Commission and its Land Use and Transportation Subcommittee planned <br />to share the insights it had discovered over the past year and did not intend to ask the council for any specific <br />actions during the current work session. <br />Mr. Skov briefly discussed the sustainability context under which the Sustainability Commission had been <br />created and noted that the group had since that time generated a series of policy recommendations for approval <br />by the Eugene City Council and had also created a separate subcommittee to discuss land use and transportation <br />sustainability issues. <br />Mr. Rexius provided an overview of the Sustainability Commission's Land Use/Transportation Subcommittee <br />and noted how its discussions, under an umbrella discussion regarding climate uncertainty and energy volatility, <br />had progressed. <br />Mr. Rexius reported that the Land Use/Transportation Subcommittee's research into various private and public <br />areas of the community had revealed a distinct lack of policy integration between land use and transportation <br />planning concerns, particularly with respect to how the issues of climate uncertainty and energy volatility <br />applied to land use and transportation matters. <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council April 28, 2010 Page 3 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br />
