Ms. Miller stated agreement that she is ready for a work session on this - topic as well as some others. She does not feel the council is ready for a joint meeting. In the work session, sne would like to include a rebrief- ing on the definition of "urban growth boundary" and to pursue with the County an agreement for voluntary non-development of that area until agreement is reached. Ms. Schue noted agreement that the joint meeting might not be productive at this time. She is willing to be open and to discuss the issues. She does not think another public hearing would be helpful unless there is new material. She would like a briefing such as Ms. Miller suggested. She is willing to let the County struggle with the State on their position. Mr. Farah clarified the work session agenda. He said he understands that council is requesting information on: 1) the urban growth boundary, 2) the industrial triangle, and 3) other jurisdictional differences within the plan. After these topics were covered, they would discuss how the City might proceed at this time. Mr. Haws left the meeting. Mr. Obie stated that he is comfortable with this process but would prefer to have everyone hear the same thing at the same time. He stressed the importance of the council being open to change. He encouraged Mayor Keller to speak with the Mayor of Springfield and the Chairman of the Lane County Commissioners to learn how they feel the jurisdictions should e proceed in resolving this issue. Mr. Delay stated that the council is open and may need to articulate to the County why the City feels the way it does. Mr. Delay moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, to have staff prepare a letter to the Lane County Commissioners to encourage them to consider the suggestion from LCDC to adopt the City's urban growth boundaries and then object to the boundary before LCDC. Mr. Delay said he feels that the City should continue to pursue the issue before it goes to LCDC so that time and money will not be wasted. Roll call vote; motion carried unanimously. Mr. Obie questioned whether the purpose of the work session is to "solidify" or "re-exami ne" our pos it ion. Mr. Lieuallen indicated one could use the term "review." Ms. Miller agreed that the work session would be a time to re-examine the issues. Mayor Keller asked when the work session would be scheduled. Mr. Farah noted that it would be held following the council meeting on Wednesday, September 10. The meeting was adjourned to September 10, 1980. Respect lly submi tted, Ie ) Charles T.
