from River Road to Delta Highway, into the constrained project lists. <br />Ms. Bettman said she had read in her materials that the deletion and additions specified in her motion would <br />require the initiation of a Metro Plan amendment and asked if she would need to add that amendment to her <br />motion. Mr. Inerfeld replied that a TransPlan amendment would be sufficient. <br />Ms. Bettman stated that TransPlan was due to be updated by staff in 2008 rather than 2007 for multiple <br />reasons. She said the decision from ODOT was that TransPlan was not part of the RTP and that it seemed <br />like a convoluted way to appease ODOT. <br />Mr. Inerfeld said ODOT was the entity that had recommended the WEP language to the TransPlan <br />recommendations, and confirmed Ms. Bettman’s earlier statement that the WEP was not a planned <br />transportation facility for the purposes of the Transportation Planning Rule (TPR). <br />Mr. Clark was uncertain that he could support the motion as he was unclear what the impact of it would be. <br />Mr. Clark, referring to the second of the five TransPlan recommendations, asked Mr. Inerfeld if the planning <br />horizon of 2022 was where the TransPlan update would occur. Mr. Inerfeld answered that the planning <br />horizon estimation had been adjusted to reflect slower population growth than was originally projected. <br />Mr. Inerfeld said staff would like for a TransPlan update to happen within the next few years, presumably to <br />coincide with the RTP update planned for 2011. <br />Mr. Clark, referring to the third of the five staff recommendations, recalled a previous vote where council <br />discussed the Beltline Highway from River Road to Delta Highway as being the top regional transportation <br />priority for the City. He asked if a vote on Ms. Bettman’s motion would change that priority in any way. <br />Mr. Inerfeld answered that it would not. <br />Mr. Clark was not sure of the value of voting affirmatively on Ms. Bettman’s motion and asked Mr. Inerfeld <br />to identify any potential harm as Mr. Clark interpreted the motion as being contrary to ODOT’s suggestion. <br />Mr. Inerfeld commented it might divert staff time at the City and LCOG that would otherwise be spent on <br />the TSP update and ongoing studies. <br />Mr. Zelenka asked why staff recommended that the RTP issues be addressed over the next several months <br />instead of being taken care of immediately. Mr. Inerfeld replied that there were procedures to be followed <br />with the City Planning Commission and council and that immediate action would not be feasible beyond the <br />act of initiating the changes to TransPlan. <br />Mr. Zelenka averred that the federal portion of the TransPlan had been removed from the RTP. Mr. Inerfeld <br />said that State laws dictated that some sort of transportation facility be constructed to serve the City’s <br />planned land uses and that removal of the WEP from the TransPlan would violate that mandate. He further <br />stated that staff’s recommendation to fold the WEP into the constrained plan would allow the City to comply <br />with state laws. <br />Mr. Zelenka offered that for all intents and purposes the WEP project was dead as it had no funding or <br />authorization to proceed, and that continuing to discuss the WEP was undue process. Mr. Inerfeld said the <br />language staff was recommending to be added to the TransPlan was for the purpose of providing developers <br />the opportunity to rely on the WEP in the interim as it would still be in the TransPlan. <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council August 13, 2008 Page 9 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br />
