(Schue arrived late) <br /> <br />Facilitator: Sharon Thorne <br /> <br />FRIDAY, February 17, 1989; 4:00 p.m., Treehouse Restaurant <br /> <br />Sharon Thorne began by reviewing the agenda for the Goal Session. Friday's <br />activities include a round table discussion by each Councilor of his/her <br />personal goals for 1989; a summary of the efforts and accomplishments of the <br />1988 goals; a review of the Council communication ground rules; dinner; and <br />setting the agenda for Saturday's work; and a discussion of the recommendation <br />from the Council Committee on Committees regarding revisions to the Budget <br />Committee process. Sharon presented a summary of her issue survey and inter- <br />views with the Councilors including the major topics mentioned by Councilors as <br />being important, and how the Council as a group perceived the goal setting <br />process. <br /> <br />Rutan suggested that the there was a great deal to work on and that the group <br />work during dinner. The Council agreed to do this. <br /> <br />Sharon then asked each member of the Council to share something that might be a <br />goal in his/her life but may not necessarily be related to the Council; <br />something that he/she would wish to share with the group. <br /> <br />Green began the round table discussion by thanking the other members of the <br />Council for the unanimous vote on his appointment to the Council. He said that <br />he is to learn more about the issues, and that it is also a good opportunity to <br />establish where the group is going. He wants Eugene to be one of the 10 best <br />cities in the United States and feels that it can be accomplished. Erhman <br />asked about Green's school status. He replied that will graduate at the end of <br />this term and that after graduation he wants to become a high school teacher. <br /> <br />Bascom then shared with the group her pleasure in being an old timer on the <br />Council. She said that she was also pleased to be the Council president this <br />year. She discussed her goals for the next fours years by beginning with a <br />discussion of her work since 1981 on the Eugene Bikeway System. In that time <br />she wrote and marketed a book about the Eugene Bikeway System. Today, she took <br />the last few copies to the Public Works Department as the book is now out of <br />print. She is interested in alternative forms of transportation, and in the <br />next four years would like to see the completion of the East Bank bikeway from <br />Owosso to Valley River Center. The problem in the past has been the property <br />around Marist High School, but <br /> <br />Rutan shared items of a personal nature; 1989 will be an important year for his <br /> <br />DRAFT COUNCIL GOAL SESSION <br /> <br />PAGE 1 <br />
