Metro Plan amendment because they don't want 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 benegotiations 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 with the Metro Plan they wouldn'l: have to <br /> include language rendering all of the policies of the amendment. She said When they 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 added it 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 as it would.be~ 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 providedby 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 part of the $35 million. <br /> <br /> Bill Van Vactor, County istrator, responded the specific details have not been <br /> worked out. He indicated they 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 they would discuss whatithebalance of services should be and work those <br /> issues out. <br /> <br /> Kitty Piercy arrived at67~5 p.m. <br /> <br /> Kelly commented that on the 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, orwhat 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 />
