- CB 2815--An ordinance concerning the Community Development Committee; repealing Ordinance 19239 and 19272; adding Sections 2.105, 2.107, 2.109, and 2.111 to the Eugene Code, 1971; amending Sections 2.013 and 2.1105 of that code; and declaring an emergency. Ms. Wooten moved, seconded by Mr. Hansen, that the bill as amended by Mr. Holmer 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; the motion carried unanimously, 8:0. Mayor Obie commented that the committee was too large and too diverse. Ms. Ehrman also thought the committee was too large. Ms. Bascom said the members probably were busy with the organizations they represent. She recom- mended "at 1arge" members who may not have other duties. Mr. Hansen asked what the most productive size for a committee is. Mr. Gleason said staff support for a decision-making group of five to seven members can be handled easily. An information group can be larger. Communication is better in a small group. Ms. Schue pointed out the Community Development Committee will usually meet only four times a year. It involves a Federal program designed to benefit people with low and medium incomes and the Interim CDC indicated various points of view needed to be represented. In order to have adequate repre- sentation, a larger committee is needed. e Council Bill 2815 was read the second time by council bill number only. Ms. Wooten moved, seconded by Mr. Hansen, that the bill as amended be approved and given final passage. Roll call vote; all councilors present voting aye, the bill was declared passed (and became Ordinance No. 19317). VIII. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT THREE-YEAR PLAN (memo distributed) City Manager Michea1 Gleason introduced the agenda item. Rich Weinman of the Eugene Development Department presented the staff report. He said the three-year plan is a goal plan which governs the Community Development Block Grants. The plan can be amended at any time. The Interim Community Develop- ment Committee (I-CDC) considered the adopted Community Goals, the Capital Improvement Program, the Six-Point Economic Diversification Plan, and the City Council goals. The Interim CDC held two public hearings. The three- year plan shifts the CDBG focus from neighborhood development to economic development. Mr. Weinman reviewed some of the projects. He pointed out that income from loan programs was included in the proposed three-year plan. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council March 13, 1985 Page 9
