LEAGUE OF OREGON CITIES MEMBERSHIP RESOLUTION (memo, resolution distributed) Assistant City Manager David Whitlow introduced the agenda item. Director of Intergovernmental Relations Jody Miller presented the staff report, reviewing the June 20, 1984, memorandum from the City Manager to the City Council. She stated that the item was routine in that the City had always been a member of the League of Oregon Cities but the League had changed its procedures and was - asking all member agencies to sign an intergovernmental agreement under ORS 190 to clarify the status of LOC as a unit of local government. Councilor Wooten stated that she had read the resolution but had not found any limitation for the LOC to make binding assessments. She asked what limitations the LOC would have as a local unit of government. Ms. Miller stated that the LOC would be limited by the statutes which govern other municipalities. She added that the ORS 190 agreement was basically a restatement of the LOC's con- stitution. In further clarification, City Attorney Keith Martin explained that the agreement would be among the governmental agencies, therefore the power of the League to levy an assessment would be limited to its membership. He added that the League's ability to incur debt would have the same limita- tions as the member agencies. In response to another question by Ms. Wooten, Mr. Martin stated that the LOC was attempting to clarify its status and its relationship with the City. Earlier there had been questions if the cities could join LOC while it was a non-profit organization; they could only contract with it. He stated that the agreement would clarify the role and liabilities of the LOC as a local government agency in that it would remain an elected official rather than a non-profit agency. Res. 3864--A resolution authorizing execution and endorsement of agreement with the League of Oregon Cities governing the league's status as a unit of local government. Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Ms. Wooten, to adopt the resolution. e Roll call vote; the motion carried unanimously, 8:0. MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 27, 1984 Page 4
