<br /> . " <br /> - ."e <br /> . <br /> . <br /> since it is such a diverse committee. Mayor Keller suggested possibly dis- <br /> e solving the Mayor's committee. Ms. Smith asked if there was that potential. <br /> Mr. Keller suggested they ask the committee and see if they could. Mr. Obie <br /> noted the committee had served its purpose of defining the problem. The matter <br /> is now an action item. Mr. Gleason suggested that if the council wanted action, <br /> the staff should go directly to the City Council. If they go to the Mayor's <br /> task force, it will hone off the rough edges. Consensus will be gained. By <br /> going directly to the City Council, vigor is achieved. <br /> Mayor Keller said to go to the City Council and bypass everyone. In order to <br /> get consensus, Mr. Gleason would spend too much time. They must streamline the <br /> process. <br /> Ms. Wooten was comfortable with the City Manager reporting directly to the City <br /> Counc i 1 . She wanted to be informed about who the task team is listening to. <br /> Ms. Miller noted that the Economic Development Committee has done a lot of work. <br /> They have looked at difficult questions. This has resulted in more community <br /> consensus. Mr. Keller added that the six points of the current program are the <br /> result of their work. It is a group document. <br /> Mr. Gleason said that if he reported directly to the City Council, they would <br /> have to link the boards and commissions. He added they would form the task team <br /> tomorrow. Ms. Wooten said that they wanted to be informed as he went along. <br /> Mr. Gleason answered that he would communicate and be sensitive. It is the <br /> implementation model of the General Plan and staff will help with policy. They <br /> will assign a person to the task team. <br /> e Mr. Keller noted this will be on the council agenda the first week in September. <br /> The funding, reporting to the City Council, and a report on the boards and <br /> commissions will be presented. He said by doing this they will quash the idea <br /> that Eugene is anti-growth. The image of the City is not good and this will <br /> help. It shows that we care. It is important. It could attract outside <br /> investment. That is what he liked about the six points. He did not think they <br /> had overlooked anything. If the councilors had, they should contact the City .- <br /> Man ager . He thanked Mr. Gleason. <br /> Meeting was adjourned. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> ~~ <br /> Micheal Gleason <br /> City Man aqer <br /> (Recorded by Beth Conant) <br /> MG:BC:db/CM7b16 <br /> e <br /> MINUTES--Eugene City Council August 12, 1981 Page 7 <br />
