VI. Com 4/27/77 Approve Adrienne Lannom, Planning Commission, noted a concern for the public representation of having only three individuals making important decisions. Mr. Williams expressed a concern of the two different sizes of membership of the two different commit- tees and Mr. Kupper concurred with Mr. Williams. He said the membership issue was discussed in regard to who was entitled to representation, the feeling being that there should be one Council and one Planning Commission member as the only two permanent members of the Commission and the rest being from the public. He noted reasons for the decision of the seven- five split were that the Community Development Committee would be handling more money and the issues of the CDC were still in insipient stages. e Mr. Delay moved seconded by Mr. Hamel to approve the recommendations to develop the appropriate ordinances and resolutions for Council approval. Mr. Wiliiams moved to amend the motion seconded by Mr. Hamel that the Community Development Committee contain only six members and then five as originally recommended. Mr. Lieuallen, Mr. Delay and Mr. Bradley all expressed opposi- tion to the amendment citing reason of the need for broader citizen participation, the dealing with large amounts of money, the need for diversity of opinion from citizens groups, and the deletion of elite groups making these decisions. e Vote was taken on the amendment to the motion which carried with Hamel, Smith, Williams, and Obie voting yes; Lieuallen, Delay, and Bradley voting no. Vote was taken on the main motion which passed with Hamel, Smith, Williams, Obie, and Lieuallen voting yes; Bradley and Delay voting no. Sewer service and annexation position paper--Memo and draft distributed to Council. Manager noted that the pos1t10n paper was intended to reaffirm the City's current policy requiring annexation prior to the provision of sewer service to individual parcels with some modification in terms of allowing for phasing in annexation by groups of parcels and allowing for phasing in of both service levels and tax rates. He said this came about as a result of the work being pursued by the Metropolitan Waste Management Commission which is concerned with the County Service District as related to financing and operation of regional aspects of the over- all system. He said the local collection component of the overall system would have to be addressed and resolved particularly by Eugene and Springfield. The position paper was prepared in the format usuable by both Springfield and Eugene and hopefully it would be a joint position paper. - 311 5/9/77--16
