--'- , Answering a question from Mr. Lieuallen regarding the data on the computer e model, Mr. Delay said there was a need to determine what the factors are in the AQMA in order to determine how to deal with those problems. He said very little was occurring on a valley~wide basis, and most of what has been happening was in this area. He reiterated there was a need for cooperation among all cities in the valley, as Eugene and Springfield would not be able to solve the problem alone. He noted it would be to everyone's advantage, including the seed growers, to find out what really is going on and how to deal with the air problem. Vern Atkinson, LRAPA, noted how far advanced Eugene has been over cities like Salem and Portland in their attempt to solve the air quality problem. However, there is still a long way to go, but other areas have not come as far as this area. Assistant Manager noted that the AQMACAC is a subcommittee of the DEQ and, as such, has no direct ties to the City of Eugene. He suggested Council could request DEQ to expand the scope of the committee and allow them to look at some of these other matters, i.e., expanding into the area of intrusions from the entire valley, and not being held just to an arbitrary boundary. It was determined that staff would bring back a motion for Council to consider at its meeting August 2 regarding expanding the scope of the committee. Upon motion duly made, seconded, and passed, the meeting was adjourned to August 2, 1978. · ~uM- . ~ /' /{1{ C/ A.
