<br />Mr. Clark said he would support the bylaws as presented, but hoped that Eugene’s primary and alternate <br />representatives would be elected officials. He asked if the BCC could modify the bylaws after they had been <br />supported by jurisdictions. Ms. Wilson said that was technically possible, but it was doubtful that the BCC would <br />present bylaws to the OTC that were not consistent with those developed and approved by the stakeholder groups on <br />the forum. <br /> <br />Ms. Piercy commented that forum members were very clear that if any changes were made to the bylaws after they <br />were approved by members, the revised version must come back to the forum for consideration. <br /> <br />Mr. Zelenka asked if LACT recommendations for State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) and <br />ConnectOregon funding would supplant recommendations from the Metropolitan Policy Committee (MPC). Ms. <br />Wilson said ConnectOregon laws and regulations required that ACTs provided the funding recommendations to the <br />OTC; however, ACTs were directed to work in collaboration with the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) <br />and MPCs to determine regional transportation priorities. She said the LACT would provide an advisory list of STIP <br />priorities to the OTC, but the MPC also provided a list of STIP priorities. <br /> <br />Mr. Zelenka commended the decision-making model to be used. He noted that the list of interests that could be <br />reflected by the citizen members of the LACT was extensive and assumed that there would be no duplication of those <br />interests among citizen representatives. Ms. Wilson said the range of interests would be as broad or as limited as the <br />applications received for membership. It was difficult to speculate about the interests or specialization that would <br />exist until the LACT was established. <br /> <br />Mr. Clark, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to support the proposed Bylaws for the Lane <br />Area Commission on Transportation as written. The motion passed unanimously, 6:0. <br /> <br />The meeting adjourned at 7:07 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Jon Ruiz <br />City Manager <br /> <br />(Recorded by Lynn Taylor) <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council April 26, 2010 Page 6 <br /> Work Session <br />
