ATTACHMENT B <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 />March 4, 2009 <br />1:15 p.m. <br />PRESENT: Betty Taylor, Chair; Andrea Ortiz, George Poling, members; Brenda Wilson, Jessica <br />Mumme, City Manager's Office; Steve Nystrom, Planning and Development Department; <br />Finn Cronin, Financial Services; Ellwood Cushman, Eugene Police Department; Glenda <br />Surdam, Human Resource and Risk Services; Kitty Piercy, Mayor. <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 />and asked if there were any changes to the agenda. <br />Intergovernmental Relations Manager, Brenda Wilson, indicated that she wanted to add Senate Bill (SB) <br />622, which would form a task force to look at the issue of geese. Also, she asked that House Bill (HB) <br />2699 be removed from consideration at the current meeting until the City Council could have a larger <br />discussion regarding prevailing wage. Until then, she suggested that it remain a bill to be monitored like <br />the other prevailing wage bills. <br />2. Reconsideration of Pending Legislation <br />House Bill 2699 <br />Mr. Poling, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to monitor HB 2699. The motion passed un- <br />animously, 2:0. Ms. Ortiz had not yet arrived. <br />Senate Bill 622 <br />Ms. Wilson explained that the bill sought to establish a task force to look at the interests of state, federal, <br />agricultural, conservationists, and economic interests in geese. She related that Airport Director, Tim Doll, <br />was present because he wished to ask that the City recommend that the interests of aviation be included. <br />Mr. Doll explained that geese and airplanes did not mix, as evidenced by the recent forced landing of a <br />large airplane in the Hudson River after hitting a flock of geese. He wished to make sure that aviation <br />representatives were included in the tax force and asked that the committee support the bill with that <br />amendment. <br />Mr. Poling, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to support the bill with the suggested <br />amendment. The motion passed unanimously, 2:0. <br />MINUTES—Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations March 4, 2009 Page 1 <br />
