Ms. Brody said the City has enough staff resources to participate in the study e of the Howard Buford Recreation Area. Answering questions from Mr. Rutan, Mr. Hansen, and Mr. Holmer, Ms. Brody said the proposed changes are acceptable to Wildish Sand and Gravel Company repre- sentatives. She understood the Lane County Commissioners will pass the ordinance she distributed. The proposed addition of an airport reserve designation is acceptable to the City. Ms. Wooten asked Randy Hledik of Wildish Sand and Gravel Company to answer a question from Mr. Rutan. Mr. Hledik said the proposed changes are acceptable to the Wildish Company. Ms. Brody asked the councilors to indicat their opinions of the proposed changes. Mr. Hansen, Mr. Holmer, and Ms. Bascom were comfortable with the way concerns had been resolved and will support the proposed changes. Ms. Schue was glad a compromise had been reached and urged support for the changes. Ms. Ehrman preferred to treat the Confluence Island Heronry and the Pudding Creek Heronry the same, but she will support the compromise. She was gl ad the Lane County Commissioners were taking the lead because the land is in Lane County. e Mr. Miller said one Lane County Commissioner indicated the study of the Buford Recreation area will be pursued and, if there are problems with the heronry, changes will be made. Ms. Wooten was pleased with the proposed master plan for the Buford Recreation Area. She was not pleased with the operations management plan for the Pudding Creek Heronry. She did not think the changes provided any greater protection for the rookery. She wished the natural resource designation would be appl ied. She noted that the Babb family representative testified they will seek an operational management plan for Confluence Island if it is approved for the Pudding Creek Heronry. She did not want that to happen. Ms. Wooten recessed the meeting at 12:37 p.m. Mr. Hansen reconvened a work session of the Eugene City Council in the McNutt Room.
