Call to Order/Review Agenda Mr. Pap6 called the meeting of the Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations to order. He thanked staff and Ms. Taylor for their work at City Hall Day in Salem the previous day. Ms. Taylor said it appeared progress could be made on the Forest Legacy Program issue. 2. Review Pending Legislation Priority 1 Bills' HB 3056 Ms. Bettman questioned the recommended position to oppose House Bill (HB) 3056, related to urban renewal districts, as it did not impact the City's existing urban renewal districts. Ms. Cutsogeorge said during the council's discussion of amendments to the downtown district plan, there was discussion of the potential of expanding the district in 2009. The bill could impact those plans. Ms. Bettman preferred to take a neutral position on the bill, given that the expansion date was pretty far out. Ms. Brooks pointed out the bill gave the County veto authority over the formation of urban renewal districts. Ms. Taylor, seconded by Ms. Bettman, moved to change the status of the bill to Neutral. Mr. Pap6 opposed the motion for the reasons stated by staff. The motion passed, 2:1; Mr. Pap6 voting no. The committee agreed to the bill would be dropped from lobbying given the neutral status assigned it. MINUTES--Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations April 7, 2005 Page 1
