( Mr. Delay thanked Mr. Obie and Ms. Miller for their work. He feels it is important that the council be able to deal with these problems on a local level and make progress toward this effective program. He stated there is a need to continue to bolster the power of local government and the council will have to take on more of these issues. - Roll call vote; motion carried unanimously. VII. FUNDING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DISCRETIONARY GRANTS FROM JUNE 1, 1980, THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30, 1980 (memo distributed; additional information under separate cover) Mr. Henry stated that this is for approval of additional CETA Title II positions and they are listed on the priority list which the councilors received. The new positions will enable the City CETA program to expend anticipated recaptured funds and additional FY 1979-80 carry-over funds recently granted to the City CETA program by Lane County CETA Prime Sponsor. c Mr. Henry introduced Randy Miller, CETA Program Agent, to provide back- ground. Mr. Miller noted a correction on the priority list--Community Mental Health consultants would be receiving seven positions, not 15 as indi- cated. They had originally anticipated about $100,000 for CETA Title II and Title VI, but the Federal government froze Title VI so they are only funding Title II entry-level positions. Extra points for Eugene Summer were built in. They are trying to work with special-interest groups, minorities, handicapped, etc. They are trying to favor those who were applying for positions for Eugene Summer. Ms. Smith moved, seconded by Mr. Lieuallen, to accept the recom- mendations for funding as presented by the Program Agent Advisory Council. - e Meeting was recessed to McNutt Room for discussion/presentation of Metro Plan Update. VIII. METRO PLAN UPDATE Mr. Croteau stated the discussion/presentation today would begin with a review of Chapter 2, Fundamental Principles. He stated this is the most important part of the update. Section II-A-1 is the beginning of the listing of the Metro- politan Goals, which are a benchmark for getting into the plan in detail. Jim Farah will be discussing growth management and the urban service area. Mr. Farah summarized the findings. Efficiency in providing services was discussed and until the 1960's there was. no plan. The 1990 Plan was adopted to determine the urban service area and to formulate policies for growth management. One of the objectives is to keep the land supply and ratio appropriate for the city's needs and to allow outlying communities to plan for their own needs. Policy 1 ( e 5/21/80--10
