<br />e c. CC Assign--Council Assignments list <br /> Mr. Boles asked that the provision of support to the Commercial lands Study <br /> Task Force by the City Attorney's Office for its work on radius clauses be <br /> included on the administrative council assignments list (CC Assign). <br /> Mr. Gleason explained that those council requests which are taken care of <br /> directly do not get placed on the CC Assign list. If items appear to be left <br /> off of CC Assign, they may already be processed. Bill Gary, City Attorney's <br /> Office, said that the City Attorney's office has already been asked to pro- <br /> vide support to that group. <br /> D. Informal Meeting with the Downtown Commission <br /> Mr. Boles inquired about the topic of discussion at the meeting that the <br /> council officers were invited to attend with the officers and staff of the <br /> Downtown Commission. He noted that some community anxiety has been expressed <br /> about Part 4 of the Retail Task Force report, and emphasized that that issue <br /> is part of the Eugene Decisions process and should not be the focus of dis- <br /> cussion at this meeting. <br /> Mr. Rutan responded that the meeting was initiated by members of the Downtown <br /> Commission to discuss issues related to the role of the Downtown Commission <br /> and its future relationship with the City Council. It is intended to be an <br /> informal meeting; however, it is unclear what the full nature of the discus- <br />e sion will be. <br /> Mr. MacDonald said that the effectiveness of the Downtown Commission should <br /> be formally addressed at some point. <br /> E. Transportation Planning Agenda <br /> Mr. MacDonald directed attention to a letter from the council to the Metro- <br /> politan Policy Committee (MPC) expressing the council's strong interest in <br /> having greater interaction with the Lane Transit District (LTD) regarding <br /> regional transportation planning. He asked that two additional items be <br /> included in the letter: <br /> 1. Mention that the promotion of alternative modes of transportation <br /> is one of the council's top goals; and <br /> 2. Elaborate on the importance of updating the TransPlan and the <br /> Metro Plan and emphasize that interaction between land use and <br /> transportation issues is fundamental. <br /> Mr. Boles supported this suggestion and said that in addition the council <br /> should state in the letter that it would like MPC to come back to the council <br /> with a work plan for addressing these issues. <br />e MINUTES--Eugene City Council July 31, 1991 Page 2 <br />
