Metro Plan amendment because they don't ~vant someone to say that it is inconsistent <br /> with the Metro Plan. <br /> <br /> Bettman asked what the boundary of the safety service district would be. <br /> <br /> Howe explained it was all of Lane County. He noted there will be negotiations with each <br /> city. He said if it ends up a city doesn't agree, it would create a hole in Lane County. <br /> <br /> Bettman commented if they were inconsistent withthe Metro Plan they wouldn' t~have to <br /> include language rendering all of the policies of the amendment. She said When say <br /> it is notwithstanding the above provisions of this policy and all other related pOlices and <br /> texts of this plan that it makes a, b, c, d, and e of Policy 15 neutralized. She adde6i~also <br /> neutralizes many of the other Metro Plan policies. She thought that made it a glaring <br /> inconsistency with the Metro Plan. <br /> <br /> Howe explained this would be an exception to the other policies asit moUtdbe a creation <br /> of a new special service district. <br /> <br /> Bettman indicated that earlier they made the point the services they are going to provide <br /> are specific services that are not urban services and not provided by cities. <br /> <br /> Jennifer Solomon, Peter Sorenson arrived at 6:10 p.m. <br /> <br /> Bettman asked how much the district would displace of the $35 million and how much <br /> would be coming to the revenue stream with the substitute p~ of the $35 million. <br /> <br /> Bill Van Vactor, County Administrator, responded the specific details have not been <br /> worked out. He indicatedthey had to first work with the Metro Plan amendment then <br /> they will work on the resolUtion of support by the 12 cities of Lane County. He said at <br /> that point ttiey would discuss what the balance of services should be and work those <br /> issues out. <br /> <br /> Kitty Piercy arrived at-6:15 p.m. <br /> <br /> Kelly commented that onthe Metro Plan criteria that the amendment shouldn't make the <br /> Metro Plan internally inconSistent. He asked if it mattered legally what the definition of <br /> who provides the services is::.'.,He wanted legal feedback. He added that the Metro Plan <br /> talks about who the logical provider of various services is. He didn't think the distinction <br /> was made that just because':they provide money for a service, they are not necessarily a <br /> provider. He wanted to:.know if there was any case law. He was dismayed that in the <br /> packet.there,.was no description of what the tax rate could be, what services it would <br /> provide, or what services that the cities now provide would go away because of <br /> compressiom:He said it made him uncomfortable to have the discussion without any <br /> documentation. <br /> <br />Page 3 - Joint Elected Officials Meeting - April 19, 2005 <br />WD bc/m/05035/T <br /> <br /> <br />
