. . . Ms. Schue thanked Ms. Miller, Mayor Keller and staff for working out this compromise. She said she found Ms. Miller1s comments informative and reasonable. e Recognizing that the Urban Growth Boundary will be protected and services will be provided by the City, and in view of the need for economic growth, she felt the proposal was a reasonable compromise and one that the council ought to agree to. Ms. Wooten said she would reluctantly, or perhaps skeptically, support the proposed policy. She asked how long was the experimental phase of the proposal and when could the council expect to have a review and analysis of how well the proposal was working. Mr. Farah said staff is in the process of preparing a series of other policies that relate to the Metropolitan General Plan and urbanization. One checkpoint in the process might be a review of the entire package of urbanization policies which could include the proposal before the council today. This review should occur in late fall or early winter. Ms. Wooten said she recognized that the area in question was urbanizable land. However, she hoped the policy worked to enhance the Urban Growth Boundary and opposed to sending any signals that the council would be willing to compromise that boundary. Mr. Gleason noted that in his judgement and the judgement of the City Attorney, it would be illegal for the City to annex land outside the Urban Growth Boundary. Any change in the boundary would have to be agreed to by the three jurisdictions. Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Ms. Schue, to adopt the pOlicy as e recommended by staff with the change of including the word IIfinan- cing" to criterion 2 as recommended by Ms. Miller. Roll call vote; motion carried unanimously. VIII.

Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Ms. Schue, that the bill be read the second time by council bill number only, with unanimous consent of the council, and that enactment be considered at this time. Roll call vote; motion carried unanimously. Council Bill 2501 was read the second time by number only. Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Ms. Schue, that the bill be approved and given final passage. Roll call vote; all councilors present voting aye the bill was declared passed and numbered 19001. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council July 21, 1982 Page 9
