<br /> <br />January 27, 2020, Work Session – Item 1 <br /> <br />option, additional land will be removed from consideration in the final phase of analysis, before staff brings a proposal forward to decision makers. <br />Project Coordination and Review There are a variety of project committees and groups involved in Urban Reserves planning with differing responsibilities and levels of involvement. All of them have been integral to the project: The Service Provider Working Group are area service providers, who analyzed each subarea for serviceability. They include water, wastewater, stormwater, transportation and fire protection representatives who have met several times as a group and individually with staff, as needed. This work is included in the Preliminary Analysis of Orderly and Economic Provision of Public Facilities and Services and summarized for each subarea in the suitability analysis. The Triple Bottom Line Sounding Board has met twice, in May and November 2019. The TBL is a framework the City of Eugene is using to reach its sustainability goals. It’s designed to help us think about and explore the environmental, equity and economic impacts, benefits and trade-offs of our decisions. The work of the TBL Sounding Board helped inform Criteria #3 analysis, <br />Comparative economic, energy, social, and environmental impacts. The 13-member Envision Eugene Technical Advisory Committee provides technical advice to staff on growth management issues, specifically the Growth Monitoring and Urban Reserves projects. The EETAC has met 13 times since October 2018 and has been critical in reviewing and providing input on the Urban Reserves analysis. EETAC members include a City Councilor, Eugene Planning Commissioner and Sustainability Commissioner; representatives from the Lane County Homebuilders Association, Eugene Chamber of Commerce, 1000 Friends of Oregon, and Beyond Toxics; a local realtor and appraiser, and interested citizens from inside and outside the UGB. By the time of this work session, there will have been five public meetings with study area <br />residents. Three of those were this January, to receive input on the project’s suitability analysis. The first two meetings at Meadow View School and Kennedy Middle School were well attended with over 50 participants at the first meeting and 40 at the second. Invitations were mailed to residents within the areas identified as suitable for Urban Reserves. Meeting information was also distributed to neighborhood associations, the Envision Eugene e-newsletter (over 20,000 emails); and the Urban Reserves interested parties list. For those who were unable to attend, meeting materials were posted on the project web page including the presentation and project boards <br />(Attachment D). More meeting details will be provided to the City Council at the work session as the last meeting is still to come as of the publication date of this memo. Urban Reserves planning cannot succeed without the strong collaboration of Lane County as a critical project partner. City and County staff are working closely together to ensure County interests are represented in Urban Reserves planning. County staff are key participants on the <br />Project Management Team, which includes City and County staff tasked with carrying out the project in accordance with the Project Charter. The PMT has been meeting monthly since January 2018. County staff have also been active participants in the Service Provider Working Group.
