Mr. Doll encouraged the elected officials and residents to share their thoughts and ideas with the Airport <br />Advisory Committee. <br />Councilor Zelenka suggested that the findings be revised to address some of the things that Mr. Doll <br />mentioned about energy efficient structures, alternative transportation to and from the airport, potential <br />energy - efficient fleet changes, the fuels used by airplanes and automobiles, and the fuels consortium. Mr. <br />Doll indicated staff would also mention the airport's LED lighting. <br />Responding to a question from Commissioner Handy, Mr. Flock said the main component of the plan that <br />could trigger a future Metro Plan amendment would be the property acquisitions mentioned in the plan. <br />Acquisition of those properties would require that they be designated for "Government and Education" <br />use. <br />Responding to a question from Commissioner Handy, Mr. Doll said that approval of the plan did not mean <br />the FAA would force the community to do anything in the plan. The FAA would require the City to <br />provide the services and facilities required to meet the demand of the traveling public. The FAA would <br />not direct the City to build any of the projects in the plan, and left it to the local airport to decide how to <br />accommodate demand and meet the requirements that the FAA set out. <br />Commissioner Handy asked in what other ways the airport could leverage federal money for other things <br />important to the community, such as funding alternative modes to deal with peak travel or beautifying <br />Highway 99. Mr. Doll said that airport revenues and FAA dollars were dedicated to airport operations <br />only. For example, FAA would not pay for parking lots. That required local revenues. <br />Mayor Piercy determined from City Attorney Jerome that she recommended the record remain open to <br />allow the questions asked by the commissioners to be answered in writing. <br />Mayor Piercy adjourned the hearing of the Eugene City Council at 8:07 p.m. <br />Commissioner Handy, seconded by Commissioner Sorenson, moved the third reading and <br />set it for September 28, 2010, at a time to be determined. The motion passed unanimous- <br />ly, 3:0. <br />Commissioner Handy adjourned the hearing of the Board of County Commissioners at 8:08 p.m. <br />Beth Forrest <br />City Recorder <br />(Recorded by Kimberly Young) <br />MINUTES —Joint Elected Officials September 14, 2010 Page 6 <br />Eugene & Lane County <br />
