e Ms. Schue stated that she is curious about the general attitude regarding double taxation. Mr. Lindberg noted that this seems to be tied together as a package, and he is mystified since everyone had seemed so supportive. Mayor Keller stated that everyone may be disappointed that an agreement was not reached, but it was positive that discussions are to continue. It is a very frustrating situation for the County Commissioners. They would like to continue discussion, but time is short. The City should encourage further discussion. Mr. Lindberg asked if anyone has thought of using an incremental approach so that they can start small and build from there. Mr. Long stated that was part of yesterday's discussion, but it may have to be done in a three- to five-year period, not three to five weeks. He has more detailed information and will provide it to the council. Mr. Gleason added that a monumental distance has been traveled. It would be a big leap of faith for the County to enter into an agreement at this time. He feels the council is taking the right attitude. Ms. Wooten suggested initiating another dinner like the one that was held last spring. Considering current financial situations, perhaps it could be a pot- luck. She requested a staff report back on this. Mr. Long stated that last yearls dinner had occurred around the end of May. Res. No. 3645--A resolution declaring the City of Eugenels support for Lane Countyls new tax base proposal and author- izing execution of intergovernmental cooperative finance and service agreement. e Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Ms. Schue, to postpone consideration of this resolution indefinitely. Roll call vote; motion carried unanimously. Regular Review and Update of Eugenels Citizen Involvement Program (memo and background information distributed) Mr. Gleason introduced Mary Hudzikiewicz. B. Ms. Hudzikiewicz stated that the last review of the Citizen Involvement Program occurred in August 1980. She noted that comments on the program had been solicited from the Planning Commission, neighborhoods, the State CIAC, MAPAC, and others and that a public hearing had been held on the proposed revisions to the program. The following revisions are being recommended: 1) revision of the time frame requiring program review every two years rather than annually, 2) update of financial and geographical information relating to neighborhood groups, 3) update of information regarding communication mechanisms, 4) addition of a statement regarding non-City-affiliated citizen bodies which are also notified and involved in the land-use planning process, and 5) addition of a statement regarding MAPACls newest responsibility--as a citizen involvement and citizen advisory body for metropolitan transportation planning matters. Public hearing was opened; there being no testimony, public hearing was closed. Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Ms. Schue, to adopt the program revision as presented. Roll call vote; motion carried unanimously. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council April 21, 1982 Page 5
