She noted that Councilors Ehrman and Hansen had previously suggested changes in the draft of the TransPlan in memos to the council.

Ms. Brody said an ordinance reflecting the council's action will be presented to the council for approval later.

A. January 8 Memo With Recommendations from the Planning and Public WorksStaffs 1. The eight percent transit goal Ms. Brody said some councilors had indicated that the eight percent transit goal is unattainable and should be reduced. She said the three elected bodies reached a consensus about the assumptions to be used in the TransPlan in the evaluation report process. During the discussions, a compromise to phase the accomplishment of the transit goal was reached. The compromise reached was that the goal will be three percent from now to the next major update of the TransPlan, five percent from the update to ten or 12 years, and eight percent when the Metro Plan population of 293,700 is reached. The eight percent figure was used for the modeling for the TransPlan. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council January 13, 1986 Page 3
