Ms. Taylor noted that she would like to see a minority report to counter the ECONorthwest report and felt <br />that the community advisory committee had been too heavily weighted with members of the business and <br />land development community. <br />Mr. Dedrick, responding to a question from Ms. Taylor, noted that staff was not necessarily seeking a <br />formal adoption of the ECONorthwest report from the council but rather an indication as to whether or not <br />the staff's interpretation of the findings of the report seemed reasonable. <br />Mr. Pryor expressed that it was important for the ECLA data to be accurate, clear and justifiable with <br />respect to the City's future land needs. He noted that he was comfortable endorsing the current trajectory <br />of the staff's interpretations of the ECLA report but only with the caveat that staff continued to make those <br />interpretations as reasonable and supportable as possible. <br />Mr. Dedrick, responding to a question from Mr. Pryor, noted that staff was currently investigating the <br />statutes whereby restricted lands might be classified as buildable and would return to the council with <br />further information in that regard in September. <br />Mr. Zelenka suggested that the discussion regarding the ECLA process be continued to a future work <br />session meeting before taking any of the actions that had been proposed or recommended. Mr. Clark <br />agreed with Mr. Zelenka's suggestion. <br />Mr. Ruiz commented that he would try and have staff present more information regarding the ECLA <br />process to the council before their next break. <br />Ms. Piercy adjourned the work session meeting at 1:31 p.m. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Jon Ruiz <br />City Manager <br />(Recorded by Wade Hicks) <br />MINUTES— Eugene City Council July 22, 2009 Page 5 <br />Work Session <br />
