Mr. Brown asked when the City’s inventory of buildable land would be completed. Ms. Gardner said that the <br />assessment would be finished by December 31, 2009. She said staff would provide regular updates to the council on <br />progress. <br /> <br />Mr. Clark used the River Road Parks and Recreation District as an example of how residents who wanted to develop <br />their County property were required to annex to the City under the City’s ORS 190 agreement with the County; <br />which then resulted in the parks district losing a part of its tax base. His chief concern with changes at the County <br />level was the City’s response to the issue of public safety as the County’s financial problems diminished its role. He <br />asked for information about the potential adverse impacts to or burdens on the City if the Metro Plan was eliminated. <br /> <br />Mr. Zelenka stated there should be council involvement in the development of the buildable lands inventory and key <br />points at which the council could participate. Ms. Gardner said staff would provide ample opportunity for the <br />council to be involved before decisions were made and scenario development began. <br /> <br />Ms. Piercy commented that the county commissioners seemed to be concerned that the cities planned to annex County <br />land and that was a fundamental question that needed to be addressed during JEO meetings. <br /> <br />C. WORK SESSION <br /> Police Auditor Recruitment Process <br /> <br />Mr. Ruiz introduced AIC Human Resources Director, Alana Holmes, and Recruitment and Selection Manager, <br />Becky Hopkins, to review aspects of the police auditor process. <br /> <br />Ms. Holmes stated that recruitment was closed on December 8 and applications would be reviewed on January 14. <br /> <br />Ms. Hopkins said the discussion of interview questions for candidates and interview process elements would need to <br />be discussed in executive session. <br /> <br />Ms. Piercy called the Eugene City Council into executive session to consider the employment of a public officer, <br />employee or staff member, pursuant to ORS 192.660(2)(a). <br /> <br />The work session reconvened at 7 p.m. <br /> <br />Ms. Hopkins asked for suggestions for the internal and stakeholder interview panels. <br /> <br />Mr. Poling asked if internal panel members had been chosen during the city manager hiring process based on their <br />positions and were some members of the stakeholder panel from the community at-large. Ms. Hopkins said people <br />were chosen internally based on the positions they held; stakeholder panel members were invited based on recommen- <br />dations from the council and their activities in the community. She said that stakeholder members listed their own <br />affiliation. <br /> <br />Mr. Clark felt the current composition of the community stakeholder panel did not reflect a balance of perspectives <br />and suggested expanding it to achieve a better cross-section of the community by adding representation from the <br />business community and more neighborhoods. <br /> <br />Ms. Piercy noted that councilors could forward their recommendations for panel membership to Ms. Holmes and Ms. <br />Hopkins. She supported expanding the community panel as long as the group remained at a manageable number. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council January 12, 2009 Page 4 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br />
