Mayor Torrey stated that a citizen had asked whether the proposed policies would have any binding legal force. Mr. Klein replied that the policies would be used to guide staff work in developing proposed changes to the Eugene Code and in the adoption of budget and capital improvement programs, but, in and of themselves, did not enact any legal requirements.
