PLANNING COMMISSION AND CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT COMMITTEE REFERRAL RE: MEMBERSHIP AND VOTING PROVISIONS OF NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATIONS AS ADDRESSED IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION RECOGNITION POLICY (memo and background information distributed) Mr. Gleason introduced Mary Hudzikiewicz. e Ms. Hudzikiewicz stated that CIC is requesting authorization from the council to review the Neighborhood Organization Recognition Policy provisions regarding membership and voting. By way of background, she noted that the issue ~as first raised by the Planning Commission in late 1981. The Planning Commission requested that the Citizen Involvement Committee review this issue due to comments commissioners had received about the inability of nonresident property owners to vote in the West University Neighborhood. The Citizen Involvement Committee's response to the Planning Commission at that time was that the council had specifically voted to leave the matter of membership and voting to the discretion of individual neighborhoods when the council adopted the Neigh- borhood Organization Recognition Policy. That being the case, the Citizen Involvement Committee felt it should first receive specific direction from the council before addressing the issue. On December 7, 1981, the Planning Commission received this report and voted to recommend to the City Council that the Citizen Involvement Committee be directed to review the matter but that the issue not be presented to the City Council until such time as the West University Neighborhood Refinement Plan and the accompanying R-3 and R-4 code amendment issues had been completed. The same issue was raised again in February in front of the Citizen Involvement Committee by both MAPAC and a representative of the Neighborhood Leaders I organization. Mr. Lindberg stated that he would encourage the CIC to look into this matter and to review it with the staff of the City Manager's Office, as well as himself. Mayor Keller noted that he would appreciate it if CIC would look into it also. Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Ms. Schue, to request CIC to review membership and voting provisions of the Neighborhood Organization Recognition Policy and to provide the council with a recommenda- tion. Roll call vote; motion carried unanimously. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council April 21, 1982 Page 7
