MINUTES <br /> <br /> Eugene City Council <br /> Work Session <br /> McNutt Room--Eugene City Hall <br /> <br /> July 18, 2001 <br /> Noon <br /> <br />COUNCILORS PRESENT: Betty Taylor, David Kelly, Nancy Nathanson, Scott Meisner, Gary <br /> Pap~, Bonny Bettman, Par Farr. <br /> <br />COUNCILORS ABSENT: Gary Rayor. <br /> <br />CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION <br /> <br />Mayor Torrey called the meeting to order. <br /> <br />A.Work Session: Metropolitan Public Facilities and Services Plan <br /> <br />Jim Croteau of the Planning and Development Department introduced the item. He briefly noted <br />changes recommended to the Metropolitan Public Facilities and Service Plan as a result of public <br />testimony on April 4, 2001, and the input of the elected officials. He said that the input was <br />reflected in the staff notes attached to the meeting packet (Attachment A), which also included <br />recommendations on how to address the input. He asked the council to consider the draft <br />adopting ordinance and provide input on the contents of the ordinance. <br /> <br />Mr. Croteau reported on a recent Springfield City Council work session on the topic, saying that <br />the Springfield council approved the recommended plan and related amendments as revised. <br />During the council's discussion, it questioned why existing power generation facilities in the <br />metropolitan area were not shown on the plan map. The utilities supported a recommendation to <br />show their facilities on the map. Mr. Croteau identified the location of those sites. He called <br />attention to a proposed modification to the main motion included in the meeting packet that would <br />allow the recommendation to go forward. <br /> <br />Mr. Croteau invited questions. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman called attention to page 17 of the agenda packet (page 11 of 17 of the staff notes) <br />and asked if the refinement to Policy A-8 superseded the council's adoption of a standard of Iow- <br />income housing as opposed to affordable housing. Mr. Croteau responded that the policies <br />adopted by all three jurisdictions in such plans were generally umbrella policies for other, more <br />specific policies the elected body might want to adopt. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman commented that Policy A-8 did not reflect that the subsidies and incentives <br />mentioned were for higher density housing that was served by transit to fulfill the objectives of <br />TransPlan. She said if there was a way to refine that locally, she would not propose a change. <br /> <br /> MINUTES--Eugene City Council July 18, 2001 Page 1 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br /> <br />
