ATTACHMENT A <br />M I N U T E S <br />Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations <br />McNutt Room—Eugene City Hall <br />777 Pearl Street—Eugene, Oregon <br />February 25, 2009 <br />1:15 p.m. <br />PRESENT: Betty Taylor, Chair; Andrea Ortiz, George Poling, members; Mayor Kitty Piercy; Brenda <br />Wilson, Jessica Mumme, Richie Weinman, Larry Hill, Doug Lauderbach, staff. <br />1.Call to Order and Review Agenda <br />Ms. Taylor called the meeting of the Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations (CCIGR) to order <br />at 1:41 p.m. <br />Ms. Taylor asked that a discussion of a resolution urging enactment of comprehensive national healthcare <br />reform and insuring honest, fair healthcare reform debate be included in the agenda and distributed copies <br />of the resolution to committee members and staff. <br />Ms. Mumme requested that discussions of HB 2577 and LC 2186 be added to the agenda. <br />Ms. Piercy asked Ms. Taylor if she had any information regarding any other cities that had been supporting <br />the healthcare resolution. Ms. Taylor responded that she did not have any such information, but that it was <br />her understanding that Lane County would be adopting the resolution in due course. <br />Ms. Wilson reminded the committee that resolutions such as the one under discussion did not start in the <br />CCIGR but rather were required to be initiated at the full City Council. Ms. Taylor responded that <br />resolutions had in the past begun in the CCIGR, to which Ms. Wilson commented that they no longer did <br />and that according to the City’s current IGR operating agreements, resolutions were to be initiated at the <br />City Council. <br />Ms. Wilson stated that the resolution under discussion needed to be started in the full City Council rather <br />than the CCIGR. Ms. Taylor noted that she would discuss with Ms. Piercy the introduction of the <br />resolution at the next regular City Council meeting. <br />Ms. Piercy reminded Ms. Taylor that a resolution would require the support of at least four councilors to <br />introduce it into the City Council’s agenda. <br />Mr. Poling requested that Ms. Taylor distribute copies of the resolutions and any supporting <br />documentation to the City Council members well in advance of their next regular meeting so that the <br />councilors could have adequate time to review it. <br />MINUTES—Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations February 25, 2009 Page 1 <br />
