<br />e <br /> <br />Ms. Ehrman moved, seconded by Mr. Holmer, that the bill be <br />approved and given final passage. All councilors present <br />voting aye; the bill was declared passed (and became <br />Ordinance No. 19478). <br /> <br />VI. METROPOLITAN PARTNERSHIP QUARTERLY REPORT <br /> <br />City Manager Micheal Gleason introduced Jim Piercy, President of the <br />Eugene/Springfield Metropolitan Partnership, and Vicki Dietmeyer, Executive <br />Director of the Partnership. Ms. Dietmeyer distributed copies of the "Work <br />Plan Summery," "Executive Committee Retreat," and an April 4, 1987, memo to <br />the Partnership Executive Committee from the Review Committee titled "1987 <br />Review of Partnership Program and Activities." <br /> <br />Mr. Piercy said the Eugene Budget Committee recommended a reduction of $15,000 <br />in the City's contribution to the Partnership and the reduction indicated that <br />Partnership representatives have not kept the council informed of Partnership <br />activities. He said he hopes the funds will be restored and the City will make <br />a re-commitment to the Partnership. He said the Partnership spent $9,000 <br />helping the City with the expansion of Mahlon Sweet Airport last year and is <br />contributing funds to the Eugene Planning Department for an analysis of <br />wetlands in West Eugene. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Mr. Piercy reviewed the Partnership's mission statement, funding, board of <br />directors, staff, and major programs. He said the major programs are target <br />industry research, marketing, Willamette Valley World Trade Center, Metro <br />Forest Products Council, and real estate development. He said the Partnership <br />will use local industrial representatives to help recruit industries. The <br />programs for forest products and world trade are new. He said six or seven <br />local companies contact the Partnership each week now about marketing products <br />in foreign countries and one staff member will spend half-time recruiting <br />forest product firms. He said about 50 percent of the Partnership's funds <br />come from the private sector. He emphasized the need for more available <br />industrial and commercial bUildings. <br /> <br />Mr. Piercy reviewed the Executive Committee Retreat and said expanded roles <br />for the Partnership and its board of directors were discussed. He said the <br />report of the Revi ew Commi ttee appoi nted by the Executive Commi ttee was <br />reviewed. He introduced Chris Pryor, Chairperson of the Southern Willamette <br />Private Industry Council (SWPIC), who was chairperson of the Review Committee. <br />Mr. Pryor said the committee decided that the formation of the Partnership and <br />its activites have benefited the community. <br /> <br />Ms. Dietmeyer said she would like the councilors to comment on the <br />Partnership's work plan. She said the Partnership received a grant from SWPIC <br />and has contracted for a study to follow up the Fantas Report and another <br />study concerning international recruitment. She said the Partnership may <br />emphasize recruiting European companies. <br /> <br />Ms. Dietmeyer said most companies want existing facilities and the existing <br />facilities in Eugene do not compete with existing facilities elsewhere in <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />MINUTES--Eugene City Council <br /> <br />May 27, 1987 <br /> <br />Page 5 <br />
