e Responding to a request for clarification, Mr. Bowers said that a building appraisal is costly and should be made just before the purchase negotiation to ensure that it is current. Mr. MacDonald moved, seconded by Mr. Boles, to direct staff to develop preliminary strategies for full capital and operating costs associated with the new library. Mayor Miller urged the council to be aware of the implications of pulling the library funding decisions out of the Eugene Decisions process. Mr. Robinette concurred. Mr. Robinette moved, seconded by Ms. Ehrman, to table the motion until Wednesday, July 10, with staff to return with information about funding issues and a time line at that time. The motion carried, 4:2; with councilors Ehrman, Nicholson, Bascom, and Robinette voting aye, and councilors MacDonald and Boles voting nay. (Councilor Bascom left the meeting at 1 p.m.) IV. APPROVAL OF MAY 29, 1991, INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS COMMITTEE MINUTES e Ms. Norris introduced the topic and said that Glen Potter, Intergovernmental Relations (IGR), was available for questions. Mr. Boles requested clarification of the discussion that took place concern- ing SJRI0. Mr. MacDonald summarized the discussion which took place with respect to SJRI0, noting that the bill would have allowed local government to expand use of Highway Trust Fund dollars to include other transit issues. The committee gave it priority 1 support. Mr. MacDonald said that he recom- mended separating the issues of replacement revenue and expansion of the uses of Highway Trust Fund money. In later discussion, councilors agreed that HJR27 and HB3577 (other Highway Trust Fund measures) should be supported on a priority 2 basis and that the full council should have a policy discussion in order to develop a consistent, long-range strategy for Oregon Highway Trust Fund issues. At Mr. Boles' re~uest, the council reconsidered the priority basis of the following bills: it agreed that 581099 would be moved to priority 1 support and that 581215, 5B613, and 5B695 (if alive) would be moved to priority 2 support. Mr. Boles moved, seconded by Ms. Ehrman, to approve, as amend- ed, the actions taken by the Intergovernmental Relations Com- mittee as reflected in the minutes. The meeting adjourned at 1:20 p.m. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 12, 1991 Page 7
