Joint Elected officials Meeting Minutes <br />September 15, 2008 <br />Page 7 <br />Commissioner Dwyer said a rural reserve policy was not limited to the metro area. <br />Ms. Barry said their policy decisions on rural reserves had been with the land management <br />division and she was aware of those. This work program would not preclude them from forming <br />a policy on rural reserves. She would continue to keep in contact with that division regarding that <br />policy. <br />Commissioner Sorenson asked why transportation staff was involved in land use on this project, <br />but not in the development of rural reserves. <br />Ms. Barry said transportation staff was not involved in land use, but they did have a <br />responsibility to ensure that transportation didn't conflict with policy direction from the <br />Commissioners on land use issues. They were required by the TPR to coordinate land use and <br />transportation planning. Transportation planning staff had a responsibility to listen to the <br />conversations on the other issues. <br />Councilor Clark thanked Springfield for hosting today's meeting. He asked when the work plan <br />needed to be submitted to the LCDC. <br />Mr. Boyatt said staff had an appointment with that commission on October 16. They could <br />submit the plan in advance for their discussion. Public testimony would be held on October 16. <br />Councilor Clark said that was prior to the - Eiigene Council removing the WEP, , which was <br />scheduled for the first quarter of 2009. He asked how that would be reflected in the work plan. <br />Mr. Inerfeld said the work plan showed that it was anticipated the Eugene Council would remove <br />it in 2009. <br />Councilor Clark asked if the LCDC would make a determination at that time if the land use <br />planning in west Eugene was consistent. <br />Mr. Boyatt said LCDC would just be approving the work plan, not the detail. There was an <br />appeal process if needed. <br />Councilor Clark wanted to know if action taken to this point would put them in conflict with the <br />plan. <br />Mr. Inerfeld said the modeling would identify what was happening in west Eugene and what the <br />future would hold in terms of land use and transportation. <br />Ms. Barry said there had been discussion with legal counsel and staff about what to give to <br />LCDC. One possibility was to only give them what was in the left hand column, because that <br />was the only work in complying with the TPR. The right hand column was for the elected <br />officials' information. <br />Councilor Taylor said Eugene had already approved the plan. She thanked Springfield for the <br />lunch and for hosting. She noted Councilor Wylie's remark about the difficulty in making these <br />
