Ms. Wilson, responding to a question from Mr. Brown, noted that partial certification with respect to water <br />rights was intended to show State officials that a municipality was moving forward with its efforts to <br />demonstrate the beneficial use of its entire water allotment. <br />Mr. Clark, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to direct the City Manager to schedule (1) a <br />public forum, with EWEB's involvement if EWEB is willing, in order to provide <br />information to the public about the proposed sale of water: and (2) following that <br />forum, a public hearing on a proposed resolution concerning EWEB's proposed sale of <br />water to Veneta; and (3) a joint meeting with the EWEB Board of Directors before <br />scheduling the matter for council decision. <br />Mr. Klein agreed that it was critical for the council to have a conversation with the EWEB board regarding the <br />proposed sale of water before the council rendered a decision on the matter. <br />Ms. Piercy agreed that a full understanding of the water issues for Veneta and other local areas would be helpful <br />to the council and City staff. <br />Mr. Pryor hoped that any formal discussions with the EWEB board regarding water rights would include a <br />policy component that addressed the wholesale versus retail sale of water. <br />Ms. Piercy suggested that representatives from the City of Veneta also be involved in the council's water rights <br />discussions. <br />Ms. Piercy called for a vote on Mr. Clark's previously stated motion. The motion <br />passed unanimously, 8:0. <br />B. WORK SESSION: Eugene Community Climate and Energy Action Plan (CCEAP) Update <br />Mr. Piercy recognized the volume of work that had gone into the creation of the CCEAP and thanked the staff <br />and community partners who had contributed to that effort. <br />Mr. Ruiz introduced Climate and Energy Action Analyst Matt McRae to provide the update on the CCEAP. <br />Mr. McRae recognized the CCEAP advisory team members who were present as well as Sustainability <br />Commission members Shawn Boles and Howie Bonnett. <br />Mr. McRae presented the most recent draft of the CCEAP and reported that a final draft would be presented to <br />the council in the fall of 2010. <br />Mr. McRae noted that the CCEAP had been generated concurrently with several other planning efforts such as <br />Envision Eugene and the Transplan Update. <br />Mr. McRae provided background on the CCEAP and noted that in the winter of 2008/2009, the council had <br />directed staff to create the CCEAP for the community with the specific instruction to include a broad range of <br />community partners. <br />Mr. McRae reviewed the primary goals of the CCEAP for the benefit of the council members. <br />Mr. McRae stated that staff had been highly conscious in it application of the triple-bottom-line assessment tools <br />to the development of the CCEAP. <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council May 12, 2010 Page 5 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br />
