At one point, the commi~tee included the appeal process within the framework of the commission, at another point that charge was given to the Human Rights Council, and finally it was decided to remove it entirely and place it in e the hands of a hearings official and the city attorney. In that regard, it was felt a very tedious process would be expedited. Mr. Murray went on to say that he personally feels the terms "coordinate" and "evaluate" are rather undefined. He sees those' terms as . providing conside,ra.bie opportunity for' a very .irctive role ,by the Human RLgh'ts CounciJ;:>":experience will.'determine hOw. that. wnl, woi:,k out ~ Mrs. Beal requested that staff and. members Q;tl}l!Women' s committee draw up an application form to be circulated as sood.as possible after coun~il passage.

Mayor Anderson thanked the committee members for taking on a very difficult task and for their patience, research and willingness to compromise. He feels it is the most significant step taken in the equal opportunity program since the adoption of the ordinance itself. It not on~y provides a means of accommodating groups that need attention in the community but cleans up the ordinance to the extent that there will be set procedures to follow with a much more formal structuring. E. Discussion of Water Extension Policy - The question of water extension has e been brought up again, as specifically regarding the Shade Oak Subdivision - it is well outside the urban service boundary involving the Willamette Water Company with which EWEB has a contract. It is Qnderstood that EWEB is not taking a position at the Boundary Commission meetings on this metter, feeling it is up to the City to take such a position. Asst. Planning Director Chenkin.attended one such meeting arguing in support of denying revisions to the contract which would have the effect of extending .beyond what is now allowed. Mr. Chenkin has further studied the matter and would like Council direction if they would like him to act in their behalf. He stated the Shade Oak Subdivision is located east of I-5 slightly south of Goshen and clearly outside of the urban service boundary. It is zoned county AGT allowing single-family dwellings on 5-acre parcels or larger. Present Oregon law requires Boundary commission approval for any extra-territorial water service. The resolution adopted by the Council on October 13 was an updating of the policy used with an individual property owner. It really was not directed to an entire prea asking for water service. In addition, there are definite criteria in the 1990 Plan to provjde direction. While that plan recognizes that city services might be extended to satellite communities, it requires communities have a plan in their own right first. There is a possibility a plan will be prepared by the count~ some time in the future for ,'. .' ,.~. the area in question, but it is not on the schedule at this time. The Boundary Commission has continued the discussion of this matter to their November 6 meeting. e Mr. Murray feels present policy really mandates the council's position, ebat . they should oppose extending to that area. 10/27/75 - 10 S~,2,
