the city's limits. Mr. Greenleaf responded that it could and is sometimes used as a leverage in securing resolution and is a way of directing City resources. Mr. Delay asked if that would be termed punitive. Mr. Green- leaf responded that it would. Mr. Delay asked if staff work has been done . yet as to the type of enforcement order. Mr. Greenleaf responded that it has not. Mr. Delay asked if this order could be directed at only the areas of di sagreement. Mr. Greenleaf responded that this has been done. Mr. De 1 ay asked what kind of notice would be given to jurisdictions if a punitive action were to be considered. Mr. Greenleaf stated that our staff would receive copies of the enforcement order being considered by the commission, a public hearing would be held, and then the commission would decide if that were appropriate. Mr. Delay asked if it would be effective for the building season next spring. Mr. Greenleaf stated that building goes on throughout the year so that might not be a fair statement to make. It probably would go into effect 120 days from the time the order was prepared, but it could be done faster. Mr. Haws expressed concern that if this process would reach the punitive stage, it sounds as though it would only apply to the cities and not the county. Mr. Greenleaf stated that this could apply county-wide, but that is unlikely. Mr. Haws said it sounds as if this would occur within the urban service boundary but not outside it. Mr. Greenleaf stated that it depends upon the conflict. There has not been a situation like this before. Mr. Haws suggested that the process, if it reached the punitive step, be applied to the complete geographical district involved. Mayor Keller said that if there is a moratorium it seems that development e within presently approved areas could continue. Mr. Greenleaf stated that the City is operating under a plan not approved by LCDC. They woul d take into account that Eugene has an acknowledged plan but that does not prohibit an enforcement order. Mayor Keller stated that if a moratorium were declared, that he would like to know how the City could continue to operate. He noted that they would need to contact the City's legal staff. Mr. Greenleaf reminded him that these are hypothetical situations so responses are vague. Ms. Smith stated that if the approved plan were not to be recognized, the council might object. Mr. Greenleaf stated that he had thought that they might. Ms. Smith asked what kind of communication LCDC has had with the County reg~rding their adoption of the plan and then later objecting. Mr. Greenleaf stated they have discussed this with the County Commis- sioners, who stated that Eugene and Springfield might concur with Lane County's version and then object to portions they disliked. Mayor Keller asked if the urban growth boundary normally applies to cities. Mr. Greenleaf stated that it would apply to all urbanizable areas. 9/3/80--6 e ......."
