Mr. Fart noted his appreciation for the work of Ms. McMillan and had no problems with her performance on <br />the commission. However, the issue of geographic representation had been a problem for him in the past and <br />continued to be a problem. <br /> <br /> Mr. Fart, seconded by Mr. Pap6, moved to amend the motion to delay the appointment <br /> and reopen the application process for the Planning Commission. <br /> <br />Mr. Rayor noted that in addition to the issue of geographic representation, he was also interested in placing <br />professional practitioners on the commission, which had affected his thinking in casting his vote. He <br />wondered if the council's support for Ms. McMillan was tenuous, or if it should reconsider the votes. <br /> <br />Mr. Rayor determined from staff that there were no term limits for the Planning Commission. <br /> <br />Mr. Kelly said that if he believed the motion would produce a different result he would support it. He said <br />that staff had worked to recruit candidates from those areas and he did not think anything would change. In <br />addition, Mr. Kelly believed that the commission was critical and should be kept at full strength. <br /> <br />With regard to Mr. Rayor's comments about placing practitioners on the Planning Commission, Mr. Kelly <br />said he had a concern with appointing an active practitioner to the commission because of his fear that actual <br />or perceived conflicts of interest would arise at every meeting. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman agreed with Mr. Kelly. Although she was not opposed to reopening the process, she would want <br />to reopen it for all candidates, which might not result in Mr. Papa's desired result. She suggested that the <br />City saw considerable more volunteerism in south Eugene because it was built on a grid pattern and absorbed <br />a tremendous amount of pressure from the growth in other neighborhoods. <br /> <br />Regarding the reappointment of Ms. McMillan, Ms. Bettman said she had objected to Ms. McMillan serving <br />a third term because she thought there should be new membership on the commission. However, she <br />acknowledged the level of council support for Ms. McMillan and said she would support the appointment. <br /> <br />Mr. Meisner opposed the motion, noting his active solicitation of residents in the north and west areas of the <br />community to no avail. He said that it was important the commission have members that were prepared to <br />serve. He said that if the council wanted ward representation on the commission, it should change the <br />ordinance. <br /> <br /> The amendment to the motion failed, 5:2; Mr. Pap~ and Mr. Fart voting yes. <br /> <br /> The main motion passed, 5:2; Mr. Rayor and Mr. Pap~ voting no. <br /> <br /> Ms. Nathanson, seconded by Mr. Meisner, moved to reappoint Susan Thelen to <br /> position number 3 on the Eugene-Springfield Metro Partnership for a three-year term <br /> beginning on November 1, 2000 and ending on October 31, 2003. The motion passed <br /> unanimously, 7:0. <br /> <br /> Ms. Nathanson, seconded by Mr. Meisner, moved to reappoint Madronna Holden to <br /> position number 4, an advocacy slot, on the Toxics Board for a three-year term <br /> <br />MINUTES--Eugene City Council November 27, 2000 Page 12 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br /> <br />
