Councilor Kelly pulled Item A. He offered corrections to the minutes of May 29, noting Councilor Rayor was incorrectly listed as both present and absent; he was absent. Regarding the work session minutes of June 10, he asked that the reference to the "initial levy" in the last paragraph on page 3 be changed to the "initial youth levy." He also asked that the reference to distinctive judicial process in paragraph 8 on page 6 of the same minutes be changed to "distinctive judicial evaluation process." Councilor Bettman also pulled Item A and asked that Item C be pulled. Councilor Bettman noted that "follow" was misspelled "following" in paragraph 1 of page 6 of the work session minutes of May 29. She also asked that paragraph 8 on page 2 of the May 29 minutes be revised to read (italicized text added; struck text deleted): "...could be listed as a minor change on a separate ballot as a separate measure." Referring to the June 10 work session minutes, Councilor Bettman asked that the reference to "school councilors" in paragraph 3 on page 4 be changed to "school counselors." She also asked that the second sentence in paragraph 6 on page '12 be replaced with the following: "Could it be interpreted as a strong preference for an internal candidate?" Mayor Torrey determined that there were no objections to the changes offered by Councilor Kelly or Councilor Bettman. Roll call vote; the motion, with the exception of Item C, passed unanimously, 8:0. Councilor Bettman asked that Item C, a resolution approving the charter and agreement of the Lane Council of Governments (LCOG), be tabled pending a council work session on issues related to LCOG. She thought a work session would help to address some issues of concern that had been raised by constituents to her over the years. She termed LCOG a "quasi-governmental agency" that put an insulating layer between the elected representatives of a jurisdiction and the expenditure of funds. She said it created an extra level of bureaucracy, which decreased accountability. Councilor Bettman pointed out that the council was not receiving regular reports from its representatives to the LCOG Board regarding the decisions the board made.
