<br />NING DIRECTOR OF- SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CALIfORNIA MADE THE STATEMENT THAT LANE
<br />COUNTY HAS THE TYPE OF CENTRALIZED PLANNING THAT SHOULD BE THE ,GOAL Of OTHER
<br />METROPOLITAN AREAS.
<br />
<br />2. TH~ DEVELOPMENT ,Of THE fRINGE,AREAS ARE Of GREATER CONCERN TO THE CITY PL~N-
<br />NING WISE THAN THE CENTRAL CITY,SINCE PROPER. INITIAL PLANNING IS MORE EF-
<br />FECTIVE AND fAR LESS COSTLY,THAN CORRECTIVE PLANNING. If THE ~ITY!WERE TO
<br />CREATE ITS OWN PLANNING DEPARTMENT, ,ITS ACTIVITIES WOULD BE ,LIMITED TO. THE
<br />CITY LIMITS AND COORDINATION WITH THE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSIONWOU(D BE
<br />ONE STEP FURTHER REMOVED.
<br />
<br />3. DIVISIONS Of AUTHORITY AND RESPONSIBILITY IN PLANNING TENDS TO ALIENATE
<br />PROPLE BY fiXING ARBITRARY POLITICAL BOUNDARIES.. IN SOME AREAS DECENTRALIZED
<br />PLANNING HAS INFLUENCED COUNTIES ,TO COM~ETE WITH CITIES IN RENDERING URBAN,
<br />SERVICES. FREQUENTLY-THIS RESULTS IN iNEFFICIENT SERVICE, WASTEFULNESS AND,
<br />FINANCIAL INEQUITIES.... ,
<br />
<br />4. A CENTRAL PLANNING:OftlCE,PROPERLY FINANCED GIVES AN OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE
<br />PROfESSIONAL PLANNING SERVICES ON A HIGHER AND MORE VERSATILE LEVEL THAN
<br />COULD BE ACCOMPLISHED BY A SINGLE POLITICAL AGENCY~ MATTERS Of PLANNING ARE
<br />DIVERSE, COMPLICATED AND HAVE FAR REACHING EfFECTS. NOONE TECHNICIAN CAN BE
<br />A MASTER OF ALL PHASES. A STAFF Of TECHNICIANS, WORKING TOGETHER CAN GIVE
<br />BETTER ANSWERS TO PLANN I NG PROBLEMS THAN WOULD RESULT fROM THE SAME TECHN 1:-
<br />ClANS WORKING INDEPENDENTLY FOR DIffERENT POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS.
<br />
<br />5. A CENTRAL PLANNING OffiCE PROVIDES FOR GREATER PERSONAL EFFICIENCY. IF THE
<br />PRESENT PLANNING STAff WERE TO BE DIVIDED AMONG THE PRESENT PARTICIPATING:
<br />POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS TO WORK AS INDEPENDENT AGENTS, EACH.POLITICAL SUB-
<br />DIVISION,WOULD HAVE A 1/2 MAN PER DAY CREW. PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC CON-
<br />TACT AND INTERDEPARTMENTAL CONTACT fOR EUGENE ALONE WOULD CONSUME VIRTUALLY
<br />THE FULL TIME Of ONE PERSON. ONE DIRECTOR WITH A STAFF OF THREE HAS A
<br />CHANCE TO DO SOME PLANNING WORK. FOUR~DIRECTORS OPERATING WITHOUT,HELP"
<br />IN~fOUR POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS WILL FIND THEIR-TIME WHOLLY CONSUMED BY..THE
<br />PUBL IC.
<br />
<br />6. A CENTRAL PLANNING OffICE IS MORE EFfECTIVE AND LESS COSTLY TO THE CITY OF
<br />EUGENE. 'THE, COST, Of ESTABL I SH I NG. A SEPARATE PLANN I NG OFFI CE WOULD START AT ,.-
<br />$20,000~PER YEAR.
<br />
<br />7. THE CITY OF EUGENE OPERATING AS A ,SEPARATE PLANNiNG AGENCY ,WOULD NOT BE
<br />ELIGIBLE fOR fEDERAL PLANNING GRANTS. DURING THE PAST THREE YEARS THIS
<br />METROPOLITAN AREA HAS RECEIVED $22,000 IN fEDERAL FUNDS TO MAKE STUDIES bt
<br />LAND USE, POPULATION TRENDS"SCHOOL AND PARK NEEDS, HIGHWAY NEEDS,:DRAINAGE
<br />PROBLEMS, ETC. THIS MONEY IS AVAILABLE ONLY fOR CITIES:UNDER 25;000 POPULA-
<br />TION OR fOR METROPOLITAN 'AREAS., MANY LONG RANGE STUDIES NOW IN PROGRESS
<br />HAVE BEEN MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH THIS FEDERAL:PROGRAM.
<br />
<br />'YOUR PLANN I NG COMM I SS I ON BEL I EVES THAT TO WITHDRAW fROM, THE CENTRAL LANE COUNT Y
<br />PLANNING COMMISSION, OR TO ESTABLISH A SEPARATE PLANNING DEPARTMENT WOULD BE
<br />DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSITE TO ,THE,PROPERCOURSE. PARTICIPATION IN,THE CENTRAL PLANNING
<br />OFFICE SHOULD BE INCREASED - NOT DIMINISHED. THE WORK TO BE DONE IS 'TOO-GREAT TO
<br />BE ADEQUATELY HANDLED BY-THE PRESENT PLANNING STAfF. MORE:HELP WO~D.ALLOW MORE
<br />TIME. fOR CORRECTIVE PLANNING WITHIN THE CITY WITHOUT NEGLECTING THE PARAMOUN~
<br />NEED FOR NEW PLANNING WITHIN THE UNDEVELOPED AREAS'OF THE CI.TY.AND ITS UNINCOR-
<br />PORATED FRINGES.
<br />
<br />'THE EUGENE CITY PLANNING,COMMISSION. URGENTLY RECOMMENDS THAT ,THE .COUNCIL NOT
<br />ONLY ,CONTINUE ITS PARTICIPATION IN.THE_CENTRAL LANE COUNTY, PLANNING COMMISSION
<br />BUT INCREASE THE CITY'S PARTICIPATION TO AN,EXTENTTHAT WOULD ALLOW THE PLANNING
<br />OfFICE TO EMPLOY AN, ADDITIONAL PLANNING TECHNICIAN. BY SUCH ACTION WE WILL BE ..
<br />STRENGTHENING AN INTEGRATED PLANNING. PROGRAM - A PROGRAM THAT IS ONLY A fOND_
<br />DREAM IN THE MINDS:,Of LEADERS Of, MANY COMMUNIT'IES. tll
