ATTACHMENT A MINUTES Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations McNutt Room--City Hall March 17, 2005 9 a.m. PRESENT: Gary Pap6, Chair; Bonny Bettman, Betty Taylor, members; Mary Walston, Jason Heuser, Lisa Klemp, City Manager's Office; Larry Hill, Patty Boyle, Central Services Department; Eric Jones, Scott Duckett, Tom Larson, Public Works Department; Kurt Yeiter, Stuart Ramsing, Planning and Development Department; Glenn Klein, City Attorney's Office; Doug Perry, Fire and Emergency Medical Services. 1. Call to Order and Review Agenda Mr. Pap6 called the meeting of the Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations to order. 2. Review Pending Legislation Ballot Measure 3 7 Mr. Heuser said many Ballot Measure 37-related bills had been introduced at the State legislature. He believed it was likely a comprehensive package would emerge, but that was not clear. He noted that informal meetings had been held in Salem for all stakeholders and interested parties. Mr. Klein provided a further update, noting the passage of legislation in the House of Representatives regarding lots of record. The bill allowed a property owner to construct a house on property where that was allowed prior to the adoption of land use laws. The chair of the Senate committee, Senator Charles Ringo, was not interested in such a standalone bill but could include it in a package. Regarding the stakeholders meetings, Mr. Klein said the first meeting focused on the process for claims. A bill had been drafted for a claims processing system that included all the elements of the ordinance adopted by the Eugene City Council. The meetings then moved onto other, more contentious issues and were subsequently suspended when they were not judged productive. Mr. Klein said another work group was focused on the assumptions appraisers must make to come up with an appraisal for property hampered and unhampered by regulation. That work was ongoing, and would result in a recommendation to the legislature for inclusion in a broader package. Such things as waivers, compensation funding, and other policy issues remained to be resolved. He anticipated that at some point in the next two to four weeks, a comprehensive rewrite of Ballot Measure 37 would be offered to the legislature. Most of the bills before the committee this week were unlikely to make any progress, but they did provide the legislature with some education on what needed to be addressed.
