Ms. Bettman declared that the council had passed “many goals” without specifics. She said a goal without specific <br />language attached to it would be brought back before the council by staff on a regular basis. She suggested that the <br />language could be changed to include that staff would check back in with the council at major policy or financial <br />impact decision points. She indicated that she would revise her motion to reflect that if Mr. Clark would agree to <br />withdraw his amendment. <br /> <br />Mr. Ruiz suggested that staff could bring back an annual work plan for the council to evaluate. He thought this <br />could potentially be part of the budget process. <br /> <br />Mr. Clark withdrew his motion to amend. Ms. Solomon withdrew her second. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman, seconded by Ms. Taylor, revised her motion to include language that would require <br />City staff to present for council approval an annual work plan including analysis of implementation <br />strategies and costs. The motion passed unanimously, 6:0. (Mr. Zelenka had yet to arrive.) <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to direct the City Manager to develop a community <br />climate action plan within 18 months, that would (1) set a carbon emissions reduction goal and es- <br />tablish targets for achieving that goal, (2) identify strategies to achieve those targets, (3) identify <br />necessary adaptations, (4) develop measures for tracking success, (5) include periodic progress re- <br />ports back to the community with annual reports of progress to the Sustainability Commission, and <br />(6) include its financial impacts. <br /> <br />Mr. Clark observed that this affected the whole community. He liked that the motion was more analysis- based and <br />would inform the City how a climate action plan could be developed and implemented. He said he would like to <br />know what the financial impacts would be on the private sector, should any of the suggestions become regulatory in <br />nature. He thought the City should provide remedies which were incentive-based. <br /> <br />Mr. Clark offered a friendly amendment to include an analysis of the financial impacts for imple- <br />mentation of any regulatory measures. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman declined the friendly amendment. She averred that those issues would be vetted before they came <br />before the City Council as there were business representatives on the Sustainability Commission. <br /> <br />Mr. Clark commented that he could “live with” the motion with the understanding that the council should take note of <br />any disincentive for job creation that could arise as a by-product of this. <br /> <br />The motion passed unanimously, 6:0. <br /> <br />Ms. Solomon left the meeting. <br /> <br />B. WORK SESSION: <br /> <br />Police Auditor Recruitment Process <br /> <br /> <br />Alana Holmes, Director of the Human Resources Division, introduced Eric Middleton, a recruiter with Alliance <br />Resource Consulting. She noted that most of the councilors had met with him and the rest would be meeting with <br />him later in the day. She stated that the purpose of the work session was to discuss the brochure and the timeline for <br />the recruitment process. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council October 8, 2008 Page 5 <br /> Work Session <br />
