ITEMS FROM MAYOR & COUNCIL, APPOINTMENTS, ANNOUNCEMENTS, AGENDA ADJUSTMENTS A. Hearings on Regional Conservation and Electric Power Plan Councilor Holmer noted that the Regional Conservation and Electric Power Plan stated that by January 1986 State and/or local governments should adopt and enforce model standards for new buildings or prepare comparable alternative conservation plans. He asked staff whether the City was preparing testimony for the March State public hearing on the plan or for the public meeting to be held in the Council Chamber at 3:00 p.m. on February 23, 1983 with the Oregon representatives on the Northwest Power Planning Council. City Manager Micheal Gleason responded that Mick Nolte, Superintendent of Building Inspection for the City of Eugene, was involved in the League of Oregon Cities' review of State Code provisions. Mr. Gleason said he believed that at the staff level this was an appropriate response and that at this time no other staff involve- ment was planned. Councilor Holmer asked if there were provisions in the plan contrary to existing City policies. Mr. Gleason responded that this was being reviewed by staff and that he had not yet had a report back from staff. He said he believed the City of Eugene would meet the model standards, even at the full level of commitment, due to past efforts, such as the mandatory weatheriza- tion ordinance. Mr. Gleason noted that there were five years to run on the existing Construction Code before any penalties would be imposed, and he was certain that the codes would have been revised and any problems dealt with before that time. B.

She felt that the inventory could exclude such things as easements. Mr. Gleason responded that Facilities Development staff was working on the requested inventory and that he would check on the time frame for completion of the work. Ms. Wooten said she hoped the information 4It could be provided to the council and the Financial Planning Committee 900n. MINUTES--Eugene City Council February 16, 1983 Page 1
