The regular meeting of the Eugene City Council was called to order by his Honor Mayor Jeff Miller. I. DISCUSSION OF METRO PLAN AMENDMENTS A. Background on Metro Plan Amendments Jan Childs, Planning Division Manager of the Planning and Development Depart- ment (POD), reviewed the background for the amendments to the Metropolitan Area General Plan proposed for Blue Water Boats and Good Neighbor Care Cen- ters. Ms. Childs said the planning commissions of the cities of Eugene and Spring- field and Lane County, voted to support the amendment to the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) for Blue Water Boats. She said all three planning commissions had held public hearings on the issue and there had been additional public testimony at the joint elected officials level. Ms. Childs said there had been some confusion about the testimony of the representative from the Department of Fish and Wildlife concerning the Blue Water Boats proposal. She said there was concern that the statements made by this individual differed from statements in a letter from the department. She said the letter was the department's official position. Mr. Nicholson asked if the Department of Fish and Wildlife had indicated that the State biologist had altered his viewpoint. Ms. Childs said she did not know. She introduced Mel Oberst, City of Springfield staff. Mr. Boles pointed out that the City of Springfield was one of the two initia- tors of the Blue Water Boat amendment to the Metro Plan. He asked if Mr. Oberst had spoken during the rebuttal session at a meeting of the joint elected officials. MINUTES--Eugene City Council May 13, 1991 Page 1
