.- The meeting was recessed to the McNutt Room for the last agenda item. . VIII. METRO PLAN UPDATE PRESENTATION/DISCUSSION e Jim Croteau, Planning Department, stated that the Elected Officials Coordinating Committee had compromised on wording for the North Spring- field Pl an issue. The suggested wording would read: II In cases of con- flict, the MetropOlitan Area General Plan will prevail. The North Springfield Community Plan (Part I) and the Gateway Park Development Plan standards are completed superseded by this plan for lands inside the City limits of Springfield and for lands annexed to the City of Springfield. The North Springfield Community Plan will remain in effect for lands outside the City of Springfield, and will be promptly updated to conform to the policies and land use designations of this plan." He noted the vote to approve this was 6-0. Mr. Delay stated he agrees with this language in terms of the status quo but is concerned where the statement says that the North Springfield Community Plan will be promptly updated to conform to the policies and land use designations of this plan. Mayor Keller stated that in essence, the plan is first and we must conform to that general plan. Mr. Croteau stated the plan is the overall guide and this wording indicates there are some conflicts that will have to be dealt with as soon as they arise. Mr. Delay stated that his concerns are that this implies that the County should be doing the refinement plans, which may be all right outside the city limits, but not if those areas are to be annexed to the cities. Mayor Keller noted he thinks this item is a trade-off. Mr. Croteau stated the second item for compromise was the Glenwood jur- isdiction item and the recommended policy will be: "Upon adoption of the plan, Eugene, Springfield, and Lane County shall appoint a joint elected official task force to study and determine which city or cities shall have ultimate responsibility for providing key urban services through annexation to the Glenwood area." Mr. Delay asked what effect this would have and if the task force would have the final say. Mayor Keller noted that they would have a recommen- dation that would go back to the elected board bodies. This will be two elected officials from Eugene, two elected officials from Spring- field, and one from lane County. He noted the need for involvement of Glenwood residents. It is a giant step that Springfield felt the residents of Glenwood should be involved. Mr. Croteau noted there is a movement toward resolving the juriSdictional boundary dispute over Mount Pisgah. Information will be presented to the Elected Officials Coordinating Committee on June 5. e 6/4/80--9
