make expenditures in a way that was inconsistent with the council's previous direction in regard to the <br />Planning Division work program. She believed the motion on the floor could be interpreted as being non- <br />cooperative. <br /> <br />Mayor Torrey agreed with the remarks of Ms. Nathanson. He suggested the council accomplish what it <br />wished to accomplish and not attempt to dictate to Lane County or Springfield what they do. <br /> <br />Mr. Kelly pointed out that Springfield could initiate any Metro Plan amendments it wished to. Speaking to <br />Ms. Nathanson's concerns, he invited alternate wording. He said he included the last sentence in the motion <br />to indicate it was the sense of the council that proposed amendments should be specific to Springfield. <br /> <br />Mr. Lidz determined that Mr. Kelly was not attempting to limit the scope of the amendments offered by <br />Springfield. Mr. Kelly said that Springfield could proceed as it wished. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman said the motion she initially suggested was much broader in intent. It had suggested <br />Springfield could move forward in its best interest but Eugene was not interested in changing the policies in <br />the Metro Plan at this time. She thought Eugene would be a better partner to indicate it was not interested in <br />a fundamental change in the way services were provided before Springfield went through an expensive and <br />time-consuming amendments process. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman pointed out that the Springfield City Council recently gave its legal counsel direction to <br />examine the question of opting out of the Metro Plan altogether. She asked what would happen if <br />Springfield moved forward with that while the community was going through the amendments process. She <br />reiterated that the responsible thing to do was to provide input early in the process. If Eugene was not to <br />weigh in on the topic at this time, Ms. Bettman suggested the council propose a broader time line for the <br />process that provided for more public input and for the elected officials to have input into the scope of work. <br />The existing time line did not allow for that. <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor supported the motion. She did not want to spend tax money on the effort. However, she did not <br />think the last sentence in the motion was needed. <br /> <br /> Ms. Taylor, seconded by Mr. Pap~, moved to amend the motion by striking the last sen- <br /> tence. <br /> <br />Ms. Nathanson reiterated her preference for different language in the motion. She suggested the following <br />alternative wording: <br /> <br /> Move to inform the City Manager and ask the manager to inform Lane County and the City <br /> of Springfield that Eugene is not interested in pursuing a Metro Plan policy amendment for <br /> the use of special districts applicable to Eugene at this time. <br /> <br />Ms. Nathanson declined to offer her text as an amendment to the amendment to the motion, preferring rather <br />to vote the motion down. <br /> <br />Mr. Kelly endorsed the concepts in Ms. Nathanson's suggested motion. He indicated opposition to the <br />amendment because it did not communicate that the council was not interested in a Metro Plan policy <br />change that applied to Eugene's actions. <br /> <br />MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 28, 2004 Page 7 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br /> <br />
