I : D. Tri-Agency Future Funding--Mr. Delay stated that in the past it , was felt that options should be kept open for negotiations with Tri-Agency. The City has supported Tri-Agency in the past, but e now it may be necessary to provide notice of termination of the agreement in order to negotiate. Both Springfield and Lane County have decided to make massive reductions in their contributions which will affect the enforcement aspects of the agency. There will be no enforcement for Springfield; Lane County will have only one control person. The City will continue to contribute but it will be impos- sible to continue service at the present level without the financial support of the other jurisdictions. There will be massive disrup- tions of service. The Policy Committee recommended that the three jurisdictions provide notice that they may terminate the contract in six months, effective July 1, 1980. The staff proposal was to do this to reorganize but to not shut down the agency, as some people believed. Because of the requirements of the 190 agreement, notice of termination is required to be given. There is a strong feeling that it is important for each jurisdiction to determine what it wants for an animal control program and how it should operate. No progress can be made until the juris- ~ dictions determine their own involvement. Each jurisdiction could form a subcommittee or task force to determine what it wants in a new or amended cooperative agreement. The Policy Committee decided it would be important to keep communications open. He is not sug- gesting action on this item today, but feels a task force or council subcommittee should be formed to discuss it in the near future. Priority attention should be given to this in order to come up with an e agreement that is more constructive than those in the past. The other two jurisdictions' financial withdrawal is effective July 1, 1980. E. Hotel/Convention Center Contract--Mr. Obie stated he and Mr. Delay had met with the Renewal Agency that morning. The main topic was the , developer's agreement. They will be working with the attorneys to correct deficiencies outlined in the previous memo. He encouraged councilors to let them know if there are other concerns that should be addressed. They wish to have the contract considered at the June 25, 1980, council meeting. Mr. Obie stated he feels it is a waste of time for staff to read material to the council which they have already received and should have read on their own. F. Cancellation of City Council Meetings--Mayor Keller asked for input about cancellng some of the Clty Council meetings in August. Con- sensus was to recess 'between August 18 and 31, thereby canceling the August 20, 25, and 27, 1980, council meetings. G. Contribution to Better Eugene Committee--Mayor Keller stated the Home Builders' Association had given a check to the Better Eugene Committee for dispersement of information regarding the budget. He thanked John Bennett, representative of the Home Builders' Association. e 6/18/80--2
