original deadline. A plan acceptable to the vast majority of Eugene citizens gets adopted and implemented in <br />a timely manner. <br /> <br />We realize that these are tough choices. We understand the council decision is sovereign. We (City <br />Council, Planning Commission, community) take responsibility for the decision we make and own making <br />our collective decision happen. <br /> <br />We have a ready-made implementation plan that has community political support. Everyone is comfortable <br />and able to agree to framework and choose strategies and tactics. Framework will be so brilliant that will <br />result in 8:0 vote in one 45-minute work session. We have broad community support or at least acceptance. <br />All CRG members fully support the outcome/solutions generated by their efforts. <br /> <br />Council collectively and confidently identifies the ways to accommodate Eugene's population and employ- <br />ment needs. We provide data and options that enable us to choose well thought-out ways to meet 34,000 in <br />new population growth that protects what we value, helps create what we need, and gives us direction for <br />our future - and we do it together. <br /> <br />We find the sweet spot of sufficient specificity to define the product that most Eugeneans support while <br />providing enough room to fill in the details as they become clear to us. People understand what tactics we'd <br />be pursing toward strategies. The plan is specific and comprehensive enough to successfully guide future <br />growth and livability issues in Eugene. The CRG develops a set of real potential solutions. CRG outcomes <br />and recommendations are practical for implementation. We ensure reality based tactics. <br /> <br />We have a new UGB. We create a shopping list of tactics within the strategies that allows filling our basket <br />with acceptable land use choices within the existing UGB and leaves us with a real and well defined amount <br />beyond existing UGB to accommodate the balance. We achieve near consensus agreement about the <br />strategies, and at what level they should be employed so we create a UGB. The planning runs smoothly and <br />UGB expansion is limited to a minimum so Eugene can continue to be a beautiful and livable place to reside. <br /> <br />We make the five-year update a ""maximum of five years" to allow flexibility to do updates as needed. We <br />focus on infill and brown field development. We actually focus on things that will truly affect lives - jobs! <br /> <br />Opposites attract. We will realize that everything is connected and that we need to get beyond linear thought <br />and think and dream of the "whole," resulting in an amazingly better Eugene than we have now. This larger <br />framework gives people room to see why and how others view things differently. All intelligent citizens with <br />constructive ideas get a chance to be heard, competing ideas are discussed in a civil and objective manner. <br />People disagree with new respect for one another. <br /> <br />We find a new place to land. We reshape Eugene. Eugene prospers and provides healthy and vibrant living <br />spaces for all of its residents. Decisions reflect human nature in balance with revolutionary ideas. This all <br />works and we live happily ever after. We create community for all. We become the Eugene we all want to <br />be. <br /> <br />Advice <br /> <br />We prepare the City Council for future decisions. We begin listing strategies now. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Joint Meeting of Eugene City Council/ November 22, 2010 Page 3 <br /> Eugene Planning Commission <br /> <br />
