consistent with the take limit on new urban development, but it was not a given. Mr. Rayor asked <br />if failure to adopt Option C could preclude large developments. Mr. Ruffier said that the answer <br />depended on whether the development would result in a take. <br /> <br />Mayor Torrey said that the issue was extremely technical, and City staff was very knowledgeable <br />about it. He said that while the council was discussing a take of an endangered species, it was <br />also talking about the potential taking of private property rights, and the council should keep that <br />in mind. He emphasized the need for public understanding of the implications of the council's <br />actions. <br /> <br />Mayor Torrey indicated interest in having more information about the metropolitan effort <br />regarding the listing, and questioned what happened to the rivers that flowed into the community <br />from another part of the county. <br /> <br />Mr. Lee said that one of the deficiencies of the council's goals process was its failure to tie goals <br />to the budget process. He said he was working with staff to modify the matrix to include the <br />fiscal impacts of the goals. <br /> <br />Mr. Fart believed that the City was "breaking trail" and would not receive much direction from <br />NMFS as it developed its work program. He said that added to the cost of the program. <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor noted changes suggested to the resolution and expressed confusion about what the <br />council was voting on. The council confirmed it was voting on direction to staff regarding its <br />response to the 4(d) rule. Mayor Torrey requested a staff opinion on whether the motion was <br />more restrictive than the resolution. Staff said no. <br /> <br />Mr. Kelly asked if the resolution was the first step in "fleshing out" Option C. Mr. Bj6rklund said <br />yes. Mr. Kelly confirmed said that Option C, as written in the document, was not any more <br />restrictive than the resolution as written. Given that, he wished to amend the motion. <br /> <br /> Mr. Kelly moved to amend the motion to direct staff to adopt Option C as City <br /> policy. <br /> <br />Because of a lack of time, Mr. Kelly withdrew his amendment, but believed that issue of overall <br />program direction needed to be revisited for the benefit of staff soon. <br /> <br />Ms. Nathanson left the meeting at 7:34 p.m. <br /> <br />There was general agreement with a comment from Mr. Meisner that, given the discussion, the <br />resolution should not be placed on the Consent Calendar. <br /> <br /> The motion passed, 5:1; Mr. Fart voting no. <br /> <br />The meeting adjourned at 7:35 p.m. <br /> <br />(Recorded by Kimberly Young) <br /> <br />MINUTES--Eugene City Council February 23, 2000 Page 11 <br />Work Session <br /> <br /> <br />
