The proposed <br />amendments that are part of the metropolitan area's periodic review tasks include the following: <br />1. Metro Plan Text Housekeeping Revisions; <br />2. An updated Metro Plan; and <br />3. Revised Metro Plan Chapter III-C: Environmental Resources Element. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br />These amendments will conclude the local requirements on several significant state-mandated Periodic <br />Review tasks. Binders containing the record prior to the council' s public hearing are in the Council <br />Office. The memorandum from the Lane Council of Governments (LCOG) included with the council's <br />March 10, 2004, report provides background, public testimony, and responses to testimony received <br />during the public testimony and open record. <br /> <br />The Lane County Board of Commissioners and Springfield City Council held work sessions subsequent <br />to the Eugene City Council's work session. The Springfield City Council indicated willingness to adopt <br />the amendments as proposed, and may retain Policy J-l, which supports an energy management plan, as <br />requested by Councilor Kelly, if Eugene votes to retain it. The County Board did not take tentative <br />action, as they had questions regarding the forest lands provisions of Metro Plan Chapter III-B. The <br />County Board is scheduled for adoption of these amendments on May 12, 2004. <br /> <br />All three metropolitan jurisdictions must adopt the same amendments, or the amendments are referred to <br />the Metropolitan Policy Committee (MPC) for mediation. <br /> <br />Council Action History <br />The City Council approved the periodic review work program in 1995. A joint public hearing was held <br />on February 10, 2004. A work session was held on March 10, 2004. <br /> <br /> L:\CMO\2004 Council Agendas\M040421\S040421C.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
