e Mr. Holmer said he also would like the council to further review the ordinance before adopting it. Referring to a comment made earlier by Ms. Bishow, that the ordinance is acceptable to the State Historic Preservation Office, Mr. Holmer said the City should write ordinances for its own benefit, not for the benefit of the State. Mr. Holmer emphasized that the City is strengthening the role of an advocacy group to make quasi-judicial decisions regarding the designation of property rights. Mr. Bennett said although he appreciates Mr. Holmer's comments, the support of the State with respect to how historic property is developed is extremely important.

MPC RECOMMENDATIONS ON METRO PLAN UPDATE ISSUES Planning Director Susan Brody gave the staff report. She said that due to budget constraints and other work program priorities, the major update of the Metro Plan begun in 1987 will be discontinued. In response to this situation, the planning directors of Lane County, Eugene, and Springfield developed a variety of options for review by the Metropolitan Policy Committee (MPC). On November 10, the MPC met and developed tentative recommendations regarding the options. Ms. Brody said this is the council's opportunity to give comment~ or suggest changes to Councilors Holmer and Schue, the council's two MPC representatives, regarding the recommendations. MPC will take final action on the recommendations at its December 16 meeting. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council November 28, 1988 Page 7
