Mr. Pap~ thanked Ms. Jones and staff for their work in running the pool and for being flexible to demands for more hours of use. Mayor Torrey noted ongoing interjurisdictional work on the subject of after-school program funding. Mr. Johnson asked how the City could get credit for providing Measure 20-37 money to nonprofit organizations. Ms. Jones concurred that was an important issue. Ms. Hardt of the Central Services Department discussed the department's progress on the work plan activities under the goal Effective, Accountable Municipal Government and Fair, Stable and Adequate Financial Resources. Ms. Nathanson spoke to the lack of coordination she perceived between two bodies she served on, the Human Services Commission (HSC) and Public Safety Coordinating Council (PSCC). She indicated her interest in greater regional collaboration and her intent to seek more information about performance levels from the HSC. She was unsure how she would pursue the issue through the PSCC. Mr. Meisner requested regular updates reports on what was being done in terms of fees for non- Eugene residents. Ms. Hardt indicated no work session was planned at this time. Mr. Johnson said he asked Mr. Carlson to look at City agreements with Lane County and the City of Springfield regarding payments for mutual assistance, for example, the police canine response. He indicated staff would provide regular updates. Mr. Rayor concurred with Ms. Nathanson as to the importance of coordination between the two bodies' concerns and said that perhaps some of the issues involved could be resolved in the Budget Committee setting. Ms. Taylor asked if the PSCC and HSC were made up of representatives of the same groups. Mr. Johnson said no, but both were related to Lane County government, which had the responsibility for coordinating both groups. He wanted to look at the monitoring of the intergovernmental agreement to ensure that it was being done well. In response to a follow-up question from Ms. Taylor, Mr. Johnson said that the PSCC had about 30 members and many spots were designated by State law. Two members must be from the City Council. Mayor Torrey and Ms. Nathanson served on the body itself; he was an ex officio member. The two groups could not be combined because the PSCC was established by law. Mr. Johnson thought that to some degree, the board had responsibility for the coordination Ms. Nathanson sought. Mayor Torrey referred to the additional revenues anticipated in the form of in-lieu taxes from EWEB and recommended that the council have a work session and discuss creative, useful way to use those dollars. He said the City also needed to do some post-Ballot Measure 47/50 prioritization. He agreed that the PSCC and HSC needed more integration.
