BACKGROUND As a matter of procedure, the City Council is routinely asked to ratify the actions taken by the Intergovernmental Relations (IGR) Committee. This is done by submitting the minutes of each committee to the council. Actions on which the committee is not unanimous are brought before the full council for consideration. At the January 30, 2007, meeting, there were three actions on which there was not unanimity. The first was SB 187, relating to land supply and the urban growth boundary (UGB). The staff recommendation on this bill was a “Priority 2, Support.” A motion at the IGR Committee level to change the status to “Priority 2, Oppose” passed 2:1 (Bettman, Taylor: Pryor). Staff from both Planning and Development and Intergovernmental Relations will be available to provide additional information on this bill. The second was SB 417, relating to the Boundary Commission. The staff recommendation on this bill was a “Priority 2, Oppose.” A motion at the IGR Committee level to change the status to “Monitor” passed 2:1 (Taylor, Pryor: Bettman). Staff from both Planning and Development and Intergovernmental Relations will be available to provide additional information on this bill. The third was SB 335, relating to amending land supply requirements. The staff recommendation on this bill was a “Priority 3, Monitor.” A motion at the IGR Committee level to change the status to “Priority 1, Oppose” passed 2:1 (Bettman, Taylor: Pryor). Staff from both Planning and Development and Intergovernmental Relations will be available to provide additional information on this bill. The minutes being considered are for the January 30, 2007, meeting. RELATED CITY POLICIES Ratification of IGR Committee actions is the making or affirming of the City of Eugene’s policy with respect to Federal and State legislative issues or such other matters as may come to the council from the committee.
