Mr. Boles said that the Alton Baker Park Master Plan is not the only issue e which requires intergovernmental cooperation. This type of cooperation is also needed for the~ Fairgrounds Master Plan and transportation planning is- sues. Rather than c.onstituting a body to deal with this issue specifically, he suggested that the Metropolitan Policy Committee (MPC) become more effec- tive and be given the responsibility for handling these issues. In add it i on, all three jurisdictions will have to commit the resources needed to address these issues. Mr. Gleason agreed with Mr. Boles suggestion that MPC be treated as the focal point for these intergovernmental discussions. Ms. Bascom cautioned that the RFP committee be broad enough to represent the large variety of park users. Mr. Rutan reminded the council of its commitment to the Eugene Decisions process and the limitations of its staffing and and monetary resources. While the tity should not put all planning efforts on hold until the process is completed, it needs to establish clear planning priorities. I In response to a comment, Ms. Dumdi emphasized,that the golf course would not . be fllnded publi~ly", but would be' developed by the private sector. IV. .FAIRGROUNDS MASTER PLAN Mr. Boles said that the community can no longer ignore the Fairgrounds Master e Plan. He suggested that Mr. Rust, Ms. Ehrman, and he work with City and County staff to get some background work done on this proposal. Mr. Roberts said that the lack of progress does not reflect a lack of commit- ment to the plan. The County is waiting for a report from Eugene's staff on the issue. He noted that all three jurisdictions have limited staff and monetary resources. , .. The meeting adjourned at 7:25 p.m. ~ q d. < :j .
