e Jim Saul, 111 West 7th Avenue, Suite 300, spoke on behalf of the property owners who concur with the amendments before the council. He submitted a three-page memorandum from the Lane Council of Governments summarizing the acreage impacts of the wetlands in west Eugene and the inventory material. There being no additional requests to speak, Mayor Miller closed the public hearing. CB 4167--An ordinance amending the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan Text and Urban Growth Boundary and taking a Statewide Land Use Planning Goal 2 Exception to Goals 3 and 14; and repealing Ordinance No. 19635. Ms. Bascom moved, seconded by Mr. Rutan, that the bill, with unanimous consent of the council, be read the second time by council bill number only and that enactment be considered at this time. While she was not initially in favor of bringing this piece of property into the urban growth boundary, Ms. Ehrman said she thought it was important for the three jurisdictions to have the same text language. Mr. Boles said that while he could support the first three changes, he was concerned about the fourth change and asked to delete the last sentence which referred to changes in technology. e Mr. Rutan pointed out that any change would require the entire matter to go before each jurisdiction again and he urged the council to avoid that further delay. Ms. Schue reiterated the point raised by Mr. Rutan, Roll call vote; the motion carried unanimously, 8:0. Council Bill 4167 was read the second time by number only. Ms. Bascom moved, seconded by Mr, Rutan, that the bill be approved and given final passage. Roll call vote; the motion carrying, 7:1, with Councilor Boles voting against, the bill was declared passed (and became Ordinance No. 19641). Mr. Gleason requested that the council allow staff to work on a financing issue related to developments occurring in the Glenwood, Highway 99, and other areas that are within the urban growth bou~dary. He hoped to develop an annexation policy that would follow the general plan but would allow annexation to occur after development begins and taxes are generated to be used for financing the infrastructures. Ms. Schue reminded councilors of Eugene's long tradition of doing what Mr. Gleason suggested and said that Valley River Center was built outside the city and then annexed. She considered Mr. Gleason's suggestion a logical policy development. Councilors Holmer and Bennett concurred. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 23, 1989 Page 8
