City Attorney Glen Klein noted that the language of the proposed amendment was unclear about how the local <br />jurisdictions of Eugene, Springfield and Lane County would need to work together with regard to the pilot study <br />described therein. He suggested that the council motion might need to be revised in order to provide more time to <br />investigate the provisions of the proposed amendments more thoroughly. <br />Mr. Zelenka pointed out that revisions had been made by 1000 Friends of Oregon to the proposed amendments that <br />would provide for mediation of any administrative or operational disputes between local agencies affected by the <br />provisions of HB 2001. Mr. Klein responded he was concerned that the mediation language of the proposed <br />amendments was not specific enough and might allow the state government to impose an authority over local <br />agencies. <br />Ms. Ortiz asked for clarification regarding the staff responses that had been drafted regarding the proposed <br />amendments. Ms. Wilson briefly summarized the written responses of Sustainability Manager Felicity Fahy and <br />Transportation Planning Manager Rob Inerfeld. <br />Mr. Inerfeld noted that his suggestions of ways the bill might be amended, as described in his written response, had <br />been made to correspond with the position of the Springfield City Council regarding the proposed amendments. <br />Ms. Wilson briefly summarized the written comments of Principal Planner Steve Nystrom and indicated that staff <br />was recommending a “support if amended” position regarding the proposed amendments. <br />Ms. Wilson, responding to a question from Mr. Poling, noted that while there were still a number of blank items <br />involved in HB 2001, City staff currently recommended a support position on the bill. <br />Mr. Poling, seconded by Mr. Clark, moved to substitute Mr. Zelenka’s previously stated <br />motion and adopt an opposition position regarding the proposed amendments to HB 2001 as <br />presented. The motion failed, 4:5 (Ms. Piercy, Ms. Taylor, Mr. Brown, Mr. Zelenka and <br />Ms. Ortiz voting in opposition) <br />Ms. Piercy called for a vote on Mr. Zelenka’s previously stated motion. The motion passed, <br />5:4 (Mr. Clark, Mr. Poling, Mr. Pryor and Ms. Solomon voting in opposition). <br />Ms. Piercy adjourned the meeting at 1:43 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Jon Ruiz <br />City Manager <br /> <br />(Recorded by Wade Hicks) <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council May 13, 2009 Page 7 <br /> Work Session <br />
