EXCERPT FROM MINUTES Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations McNutt Room--City Hall May 5, 2005 9 a.m. PRESENT: Gary Pap6, Chair; Bonny Bettman, Betty Taylor, members; Mary Walston, Jason Heuser, Lisa Klemp, Mary Feldman, City Manager's Office; Ellwood Cushman, Eugene Police Department; Kurt Yeiter, Planning and Development Department; Eric Jones, Scott Duckett, Public Works Department; Glenn Klein, City Attorney's Office. 1. Call to Order/Review Agenda Pending the arrival of Mr. Pap6 to the meeting, Ms. Bettman called the meeting of the Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations (CCIGR) to order. There were no additions to the agenda. 2. Approval of Minutes Ms. Taylor, seconded by Ms. Bettman, moved to approve the minutes of April 21, 2005. Ms. Bettman noted a correction to page 1 of the minutes, pointing out that the second to the motion made by Ms. Taylor was incorrectly attributed to her and should instead be attributed to Mr. Pap6. The motion passed unanimously, 2:0, as Mr. Pap6 had not yet arrived at the meeting. 3. Citizen's Resolution Ms. Taylor, seconded by Ms. Bettman, moved to forward the resolution to the council for action on May 23, 2005. Mr. Pap6 arrived at the meeting. The motion passed unanimously, 3:0. Mr. Pap6 assumed the chair. 4. Grant Proposal Review Ms. Bettman moved to approve the applications for grants 1 and 2 only. Mr. Yeiter reviewed three proposed transportation growth management (TGM) grant applications, noting that TGM grants had been the City's main source of funding for nodal- related planning. Currently there was one FTE working on all nodal planning issues. The first grant would be used for the second phase of the ongoing planning for the Walnut Street transit station area. Mr. Yeiter believed it was a timely grant because of the University's planning for a new arena, the construction of the Bus Rapid Transit route along Franklin Boulevard, and the potential of new off ramp from I-5 to Franklin Boulevard. Staff would work with commercial property owners in the area to determine how the area could best evolve and create a master plan.
