e Mr. Lieuallen said, from his review of the materials, it seemed LCDC was concerned about site-specific urban service boundary and working toward more citizen understanding in the planning process. Mr. Saul responded the two areas of concern were citizen understanding and continuing to work with Lane County and Springfield in metro urban problems. Mr. Lieuallen wondered if the LCDC was concerned with a site-specific urban service boundary. Mr. Saul replied in the Fe- bruary meeting, LCDC had agreed that site-specific meant some clearly defined line, i.e., a river, a road, a ridgeline, etc. ~r. Lieuallen then further questioned whether staff thought LCDC would accept the report. Mr. Saul said according to materials provided by LCDC, once a jurisdiction has been determined to be in compliance, before a reversal of that determination is made, LCDC is required to notify, specify grounds, and give the jurisdiction an opportunity to respond. He said that has not occurred, so staff feels Eugene is still in compliance and is asking LCDC to recognize that. Mr. Delay noted LCDC had raised a question about exceptions pro- ceedings, especially regarding agricultural land. However, a more general concern of his was wondering if there was a problem of fric- tion between the City and LCDC staffs, citing some of the specific responses in the City's materials. Mayor Keller replied the reason the City was answering in that way was receipt of a letter August 5 in which it appeared LCDC felt the City was making no effort. Mr. Saul continued the letter had a number of statements which the City felt were prejudicial to the City. Mr. Delay said he was concerned, won- e dering if the staff response was not a bit inflamatory and wondered if the staff should move more toward a cooperative posture. Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, to approve the recom- mendation and report. Motion carried unanimously. III.
