ACCESSIBLE AND THRII~NG CULTURAL AND RECREATION <br /> A community that recognizes that the arts and outdoors are integral to the social and economic <br /> well-being of the community and should be available to all. <br /> <br /> EFFE C TIFE A C C 0 UNTABLE MUNICIPAL GO FERNMENT <br /> A government that works openly, collaboratively and fairly with the community to achieve meas- <br /> urable outcomes <br /> <br /> FAIR, STABLE AND ADEQUATE FINANCIAL RESOURCES <br /> A government whose on-goingfinancial resources are based on a fair and equitable system of <br /> revenues and is adequate to maintain and deliver municipal services <br /> <br />Ms. Hayes solicited comments on the draft vision goals. <br /> <br />Mr. Kelly called the council and staff's attention to some minor errors in the statements, which Ms. Hayes <br />recorded. <br /> <br />Councilors expressed general satisfaction with the goal statements, offering the following comments for <br />possible change: <br /> <br /> · New sustainable development needs to reference healthy and natural built environment <br /> · "Measurable outcomes" --~ Positive outcomes? Demonstrate public benefit? <br /> <br />Mr. Pryor indicated that "measurable outcomes" was included to address the issue of government <br />accountability. Mr. Kelly said he would not object to its deletion as not all things could be measured, <br />although he would like to see quantification of more of the things that could be measured. Ms. Solomon <br />supported the inclusion of the phrase for the reasons stated by Mr. Pryor. She reminded the council of the <br />aspirational nature of the statements. <br /> <br />City Manager Taylor indicated he would schedule the vision statement and goals statements for adoption <br />following further refinement by the subcommittee. Ms. Bettman asked that the revised draft be sent to <br />councilors prior to that date. <br /> <br />2. Boards and Commissions Process <br /> <br />Ms. Walston was present for the item. She recalled the council's discussion of the issue at its last process <br />session and its direction to staff to develop a proposal for the boards and commissions process. She <br />reviewed a draft short-term proposal to be implemented between April and September 2005. <br /> <br />Councilors discussed the short-term proposal. Mr. Kelly did not support having a profile for candidates. <br />He questioned whether the council could interview candidates in executive session given that the issue was <br />related to personnel. He suggested the supplemental questions be included in the application. He asked if a <br />candidate receiving five votes in the straw poll should be interviewed or appointed. Regarding the guidelines <br />for interviews, Mr. Kelly favored allowing the councilors to ask follow-up questions of candidates. <br /> <br />MINUTES--Eugene City Council April 18, 2005 Page 5 <br /> Process Session <br /> <br /> <br />
