e R. Relationship of the City Council to the Downtown Commission and Other City Boards and Commissions Ms. Wooten said she would like additional information about the development of the downtown and the relationship between the City Council and the Downtown Commission and the council and the Parks Committee. 1. Budget Committee Discussing the FY87/88 budget process, Mr. Holmer hoped changes in financial policies will be presented to the council in time for the Budget Committee to comment on them. Mr. Miller said rules should be established for dealing with budget subcommittee reports and minority reports. Mayor Obie suggested the councilors discuss such processes with the Budget Committee members. S. Audit Subcommittee, Boundary Commission Budget Committee, and Legislative Subcommittee Mr. Holmer said the Audit Subcommittee has reported, the Boundary Commission Budget Committee accepted the budget supported by the council, and the Legislative Subcommittee has not met recently. T. Tree Beautification Commission e Ms. Bascom reported that many individuals donated to Operation City Pride, which was very successful. She said the commission has several unfinished projects to consider. For example, the Beautification Study is completed and recommends retention of a volunteer organization to implement it, and the sweet gum trees at 7th Avenue and Oak Street should be removed. In addition, Robin Morgan received a grant from the State of Washington to produce an urban forestry guide to be distributed in Washington and Oregon. She will use the Tree Beautification Commission as a model. Ms. Ehrman said the trees at 15th Avenue and Oak Street should be trimmed because it is difficult to see the traffic on Oak Street from 15th Avenue. U. TransPl an Ms. Bascom said staff is drafting a memo indicating legislative intent to alleviate the concern of Sacred Heart officials about Policy Pk6 on page 6 of the TransPlan. She said the officials are worried that the policy will be used against their proposal for a parking garage, although they can document that they are discouraging long-term employee parking. Mr. Gleason said the memo will indicate that the Hearings Official will consider several policies when a conditional use permit is requested for a parking garage and that the council had eliminated the words "by discouraging long-term employee parking" from a draft of the TransPlan. He discussed the amendment process for TransPlan. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council May 19, 1986 Page 8
