- - e Mrs. Niven concluded the Community Goals Comndttee favors a permanent green belt around the urban area and wants that further pursued through the joint parks committee. Mayor Anderson wondered what was meant by the Central area. Mrs. Niven replied it meant basically from Chambers to the University campus boundary and from the river to 18th. Mrs. Niven noted $20,000 has been set aside for use for the growth study. Manager clarified that the next step would be for staff to come back with more elaboration and then proceed upon Council's approval. There was Council consensus that some statement about the costs of growth be included. Mrs. Beal said she would want to see something which referred to the cost of urban services as it relates to Eugene's growth management. Mr. Murray felt, too, that consideration should be given to what impact growth will have on the rest of the community - what will be sacrificed, etc. Mr. Murray moved seconded by Mrs. Beal to adopt the two growth management studies as recommended, adding the statement "including the cost of urban service extension" after "economic and social implications" in recommendation No.2. Motion carried unanimously. Comm 5/12/76 Approve D. Social Priorities Committee - Memo of May 5 from Community Goals Committee has been distributed to Council. Mr. Murray explained that the original socials goals committee, formed in 1970, had gone defunct. In 1974, during the Community Goals conference, the issue resurfaced which lead to a proposal for the creation of the Social Priorities Committee. Mr. Murray said the intent was to structure the membership of the comndttee with persons having interest and expertise. Suggested were one Council member, one Planning commissioner, one HRC representative, one Budget Committee member and a public member of HCDC. Appointment of the chairman and perhaps even other members to be made by the Council. The Committee's charge would be to make recommendations to the City Council. Mrs. Beal suggested perhaps the Human Rights Council could serve as the committee. It was the general feeling, however, that too much work would be invol ved and the areas would be too broad. Asst. Manager could see a major staff comndtment to the project. He felt it would take much attention to avoid too much work and to develop something streamlined and sirp l-a to put before the Council. It was generally agreed that the list of recommendations of the Committee could be flexible. Mr. Murray moved seconded by Mrs. Beal that the Community Goals Committee recommendations be accepted and a committee be appointed. Motion ca rried unanimously. Comm 5/12/76 See action below Comment ~as made that the name of the committee brought inquiries from people assuming that the committee would deal primarily with social services whereas it really would deal with all city services - police, fire, parks, etc. Betty Niven, 3940 Hilyard, suggested that the Council decide on a different name. "City Services" seemed to her the most desirable and least likely to be misunderstood. Mr. Murray moved second by Mr. Hamel to rename the committee "City Services Priorities Committee." ~7oif 5/24/76 - 13
