The motion and the second were withdrawn. e Mr. Holmer moved, seconded by Mr. Hansen, to table the resolution. Roll call vote; the motion carried 5:3; Councilors Ball, Hansen, Obie, Smith, and Holmer voting aye; Councilors Wooten, Ehrman, and Schue voting nay. In response to a question by Councilor Ball, Mr. Gleason stated that the time schedule for the review was first amended based on council priorities, then amended due to the council's desire to involve the Community Involvement Committee in a broader agenda. With the establishment of a council sub- committee to review boards and commissions, the review was further delayed. He expected the issue to go before the CIC after the review by the Neighbor- hood Review Committee, and then to the City Council in September or October. Mr. Ball stated that he was comfortable with the process as outlined. He added that the City used the neighborhood groups as the official voices of those neighborhoods in its decision-making processes. Mr. Gleason added that the City's Citizen Participation Program made the City consistent with the Participation Goal of the Lane Conservation and Development Commission. Councilor Obie said it would be appropriate for the item to be presented to the council after the review was completed. He explained that any councilor could address the issue at any time. In response to a question by Councilor Obie, Mr. Gleason stated that staff was controlled by the review by the CIC and council subcommittees in scheduling the item for council presentation. Mr. Obie explained that the South Hills Neighborhood Association will operate under its present charter until the revision was reviewed by the council. e IV. 1984 EUGENE COMMUNITY GOALS AND POLICIES REVIEW PROCESS (memo distributed) City Manager Micheal Gleason introduced the agenda item. Referring to the July 12, 1984, Planning Department memorandum to the City Council, Mr. Gleason explained that staff had proposed a council process schedule to review the Community Goals and Policies. He added that staff was available to answer any questions of council. Councilor Holmer asked if any alternative or backup date had been scheduled to continue the work session if necessary. Pat Decker of the Planning Department stated that staff had tentatively scheduled a second work session for September 12, which would then postpone the council public hearing until September 24. Councilor Hansen said he was uncomfortable with the procedures. He asked if the council would address each item included in the goals and policies. Councilor Obie said he had previously recommended that the council address only those items agreed upon by six councilors. Councilor Wooten stated that the council should review those items identified by the Planning Commission, public testimony, and the council. She asked if agreement had been reached on Mr. Obie's suggested six-vote rule. Councilor Schue said that agreement among six councilors might be difficult. She added that two people could control an entire meeting if some councilors were absent. Mr. Hansen suggested that the council adopt the Community Goals document as developed at the conference and attach the suggested actions to the document for use and consideration, e precluding the need to argue over each item in the document.
