James Pearson, planning commission member, asked w.hy Lane,iCQuntg,was not inCLuded ana:; whether contact had be em made with the city of Spring:Ei~'id'fd fje~$.r'mine whether con- I flict might develop in the planning process. Mr. Porter said tha;t .:Lane County was not eligible for funds under the Act. He noted, however, that Laqe County Housing . Authority would be represented in the makeup of the proposed task~force. And LCOG, representing other agencies, would have input in the review and fln~l processing. It was felt preferable that the task force be small - rather than a.large unwieldy group - and oriented to urban problems. Betty Niven, chairman of the Joint Housing Committee, wondered how the transportation aspect would be approached. Mr. Porter said he couldn't answer. that issue at this time but he felt that most of the $400,000 for the first year's program would probably be used for developing the housing program and planning. He said the task forGe's main chore would be to develop a three-year plan and a one-year funding program. , Mayor Anderson commented that it appeared obvious that requirements of the new legis- lation would call for very. 'comprehensivewo:r:kincluding all segments of the community i and make necessary better co-ordination than in the past, particularly with regard I to land use and transportation. , I , I I Mr. Murray moved seconded by Mr. Wood that the Council approve the ; Comm proposed makeup of a Community Development Task Force and take those 10/~6/74 , steps necessary to make it an actuality.

I !In response to Councilman Murray's inquiry about neighborhood group representation, I I iMr. Porter said it was staff's thought that leaders of the various neighborhood f ! associations would be asked to meet as soon as possi.ble for an orientation session, ; I imuch as was presented at this meeting, after which they would be aske(j.to,,:,select f l two representatives from among them at,-.-memllers of th9, task force. The task force I I . !itself would.decide upon some procedural process for further citizen participation I I :later on. I ! Councilwoman Beal felt any type of planning might involve o.ne neighborhood more than. I ianother which would point up the importance of involving the organized group from Ithe neighborhood which would be involved. Mr. Porter said the first year's program would not get into detailed projects. When detailed projects were determined, he said, then the neighborhood groups affected would be involved. Initially the task force would be concerned primarily with development and planning of,an overall pro- gram for application submittal. Mayor Anderson thought there would be no advantage in having representation from one group over another on the task force so long as I ;the makeup was of people willing to work and interested in developing a program. :There would be ample opportunity, he said, for neighborhoods and other groups to . lmake known their desires.
