e Mr. Gleason considered the council's dialogue useful for staff as it attempts to reflect the majority will of the council in setting future decisions. He emphasized that staff uses these documents as planning documents to guide the development of capital and operating budgets. Responding to Mr. Boles' request to typographically highlight the land use policies within the document, Mr. Sercombe said land use policies are contained in a number of documents and they generally take two forms: the first is direction to governments regarding actions, and the second is direction on how to decide individual land use requests. Most of the policies in this plan are not directed to individual land use decisions but are guidelines to action and are not intended to convert budget or policy- making decisions into land use decisions. Mr. Holmer concurred with Mr. Gleason's desire to have a document to guide action, but requested that future plans have the specificity of the CIP and be explicitly subject to further review through the budget process. Answering a question from Mr. Green, Mr. Gleason said any circumstances requiring financial commitments would require review by the Joint Parks and Budget committees, as well as by the City Council. Ms. Bascom expressed hope that some projects identified as high priority in the document would receive private funding, enabling them to move ahead without additional council review. Roll call vote; the motion carried 6:1, with Councilor Holmer e voting nay. Ms. Bascom moved, seconded by Mr. Rutan, to appoint a task force to consider the development of a skateboard park. Ms. Ehrman described the recently-passed ordinance prohibiting skateboarding in specific areas as not being anti-skateboarding. Mr. Green asked that the young people who offered their services during recent public hearings would be included in the decision-making process of the task force. The motion carried unanimously, 7:0. IV. PUBLIC HEARING: ORDINANCE CONCERNING LAND USE FEES City Manager Mike Gleason introduced the topic. Tony Mounts, Finance Division, gave the staff report. The item under consideration is designed to amend the City Code to conform with the intent of Ordinance No. 19494, adopted by the council August 3, 1987. It would delegate to administrative procedure the fee-setting authority for land use application fees. Mayor Miller opened the public hearing. There being no requests to speak, Mayor Miller closed the public hearing. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council July 10, 1989 Page 7
