Mr. Pryor felt that implementation of public policies using the WEC recommendations could be highly <br />beneficial to the community. He further commented that it would be advisable to let the public know that <br />the initiatives touched on by the WEC recommendations would have a healthy amount of flexibility with <br />respect to the kinds of projects that might be executed under those initiatives. <br />Mr. Zelenka supported the initiatives described in the staff memorandum and further suggested that the <br />staff might provide more specific information as to the City of Eugene's role in the execution of those <br />initiatives. <br />Mr. Zelenka commented that the staff timeline regarding the WEC Eugene Planning Initiatives had been <br />very helpful in illustrating the long-term and inter-related nature of the initiatives. <br />Mr. Inerfeld, responding to a question from Mr. Zelenka, noted that the WEC did not generally address <br />issues related to the westward expansion of LTD's EmX service as such matters were better addressed by <br />the Corridor Committee for the West Eugene EmX expansion which Mr. Pryor and Ms. Solomon served <br />on. Mr. Inerfeld further noted that both LTD and the Corridor Committee had been attempting to identify <br />additional business owners along West 11th Avenue for further input and feedback. <br />Mr. Inerfeld noted that representatives from LTD would be presenting to the council on September 30, and <br />were expected to present further information regarding public involvement on the west Eugene EmX <br />extension at that work session. <br />Mr. Zelenka said it would be important for the City leaders, LTD and the West 11th Corridor Committee <br />to focus on the community benefits provided by western EmX expansion with regard to public participation <br />efforts. <br />Mr. Inerfeld, responding to a question from Mr. Zelenka regarding a study of Highway 126 towards Veneta <br />that had been sponsored by State Senator Prozanski, and Representative Holvey, commented that the study <br />had not received funding during the most recent legislative session. Mr. Inerfeld further noted that Lane <br />County had requested funding for the Highway 126 study as part of the reauthorization of the federal <br />transportation bill. <br />Mr. Brown thanked the members of the WEC for the material in their report and appreciated that certain <br />portions of that report specifically addressed the environmental restoration and protection of local wildlife <br />habitats. <br />th <br />Mr. Brown requested further information regarding the membership of the West 11 Avenue Corridor <br />Committee and asked which agency was responsible for any expansions in the membership of that <br />Committee. Mr. Inerfeld answered that LTD did a certain amount of recruiting for the Corridor Commit- <br />tee, but that they endeavored to keep the membership as balanced as possible between business and <br />community interests. <br />th <br />Mr. Brown maintained that many members of the public felt “shut out” of the West 11 Avenue Corridor <br />Committee process and hoped that the WEC, the Corridor Committee and other similar groups would work <br />to include a broader cross-section of community members. <br />Ms. Piercy commented that the WEC and other groups continually struggled to maintain adequate <br />community representation within their memberships. <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council August 12, 2009 Page 6 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br />
