e shares that role with Springfield, at least. Until areas are annexed to one of the cities, Lane County is the principal provider of services. He suggested the section be rewritten to acknowledge Eugene's role as one of the major providers of urban services. e Referring to Section 6 of the resolution which stated, liThe City shall deliver services by means of annexation. . . ,II Mr. Holmer said departments, such as Public Works and Police, deliver services. The words IIby means ofll are awkward. Referring to Section 4 which indicates the necessary staff and financial resources for the urban service transition process will be committed, Mr. Holmer said he would like to know how much the transition process will cost. Mr. Gleason said the wording in Section 1 is from the Metro General Plan. The essence of urban transition is that the county acknowledges it will not supply urban services and the cities fulfill a General Plan obligation to supply urban services. The General Plan and the Glenwood Jurisdictional Study indi- cate which areas Eugene and Springfield will serve. Mr. Gleason suggested Mr. Holmer's concerns about Sections 1 and 6 be acknowledged in policy notes. The cost of the transition processes cannot be determined until the Policy Committee identifies which jurisdictions will provide the services. All the jurisdictions expect the financial transfers to be equitable. Answering a question from Mr. Holmer, Mr. Gleason said Section 4 refers to the cost of the Policy Committee. He recommended the Policy Committee be estab- lished and approve a work plan before a staff is assembled. The staff will not be more than one-and-a-half or two full-time people. Ms. Ehrman attended a conference in Indianapolis, Indiana, which is well known for its urban transition. She supported discussions of it here. Mayor Obie appreciated the outstanding cooperation between Eugene, Spring- field, and Lane County indicated in Resolution 3906. Res. No. 3906--A resolution concerning the Urban Transition Process. Ms. Wooten moved, seconded by Mr. Hansen, to adopt the resolu- tion. Roll call vote; the motion carried unanimously, 8:0. IV.
