Councilor Kelly suggested that allowing Councilor Nathanson to move to reconsider a previous motion she had voted against would open the door for any councilor to immediately move to reconsider any motion that had passed at the same meeting. He raised concern that this would be a poor precedent to establish. Councilor Bettman expressed a desire to discuss the Sister City Program before the next budget cycle. She said she wanted to spend less time on council process and more time on service priorities. She expressed her reservations regarding the budget process. She said the process could be streamlined. Councilor Rayor, seconded by Councilor Meisner, moved to reconsider the amendment regarding the Outdoor Program. Roll call vote; the motion passed, 4:3; councilors Kelly, Bettman, and Taylor voting no. Councilor Nathanson, seconded by Councilor Pap~, moved to amend the amendment by making the funding one-time only for the purpose of developing a plan for the program to lower next expenditure levels. Roll call vote; the amendment to the amendment passed, 6:1; Councilor Kelly voting no. Roll call vote; the main motion passed, 5:2; with councilors Kelly and Taylor voting no. V. ACTION: Ratification of Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission Budget Councilor Kelly, seconded by Councilor Pap~, moved to ratify the FY03 Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission Budget. Councilor Bettman expressed her appreciation for the work Public Works Department staff had put in on the item and said she would support the motion. She raised concern (asking that her comments be forwarded as part of the record of a future public hearing) that not enough systems development charges (SDCs), were being assessed to cover the capacity added by the new facility and reimbursement fees for the existing capacity. She believed that current residents were being asked to subsidize people who had not even moved into the area yet. Councilor Rayor recommended passage of the budget. Roll call vote; the motion passed unanimously. Mayor Torrey adjourned the meeting of the Eugene City Council and convened a meeting of the Urban Renewal Agency.
