Ms. Walston agreed to summarize the committee’s discussion for future distribution to members. Ms. Taylor said the mayor had planned to come to the committee’s meeting to discuss potential sponsors for bills of interest to the City. She suggested that the committee invited the mayor to a future meeting soon. Ms. Walston said that she would ensure that future CCIGR meetings got on the mayor’s calendar. 6. Meeting Schedule for Legislative Session The committee confirmed its meeting schedule during the legislative session, agreeing to meet weekly on Tuesdays at noon, commencing in January 2007. Ms. Taylor noted her conflict on the second Tuesday, and suggested the committee meet earlier that day. The next meeting was scheduled for December 13 at 1:30 p.m. Ms. Cross reported that to date, only one legislator had RSVP’d for the reception for the local legislative delegation, Chris Edwards, and indicated she would do telephone calls to follow-up on those planning to attend after the Thanksgiving holiday. The reception would be at the Oregon Electric Station and there would be food and a no-host bar. Ms. Bettman requested that staff prepare a brief introductory script for the mayor and bullet points regarding the City’s highest legislative priorities for her or another member of the CCIGR to discuss. She suggested that Phil Barnhart be asked to discuss what people could expect from the 2007 Oregon Legislature. Ms. Bettman adjourned the meeting at 2:40 p.m. (Recorded by Kimberly Young) MINUTES—Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations November 21, 2006 Page 4
