We too are interested in the next layers of analysis for housing and <br />employment lands and then the discussions that will occur that will fine tune the solutions. <br /> <br />You correctly characterized the regional problem solving process: it is voluntary and the affected <br />jurisdictions must agree on how the solutions they have designed are to be implemented. <br />As the Commission and I have continued to relate, this is a locally driven "problem solving'~ <br />process. Staff and I have reviewed the steps outlined in your letter and find nothing that would <br />curtail our positive support. I think that you are accurate in highlighting that there are thresholds <br />that will need to be addressed in the required monitoring element ORS197.656 (2) (b) (F) of the <br />final strategy, but we understand that you have not reached that point in your discussions yet. <br />We are also confident that the staff that you have hired for the process will be able to complete <br />the findings of compliance with the Statewide Planning Goals as listed on page 57-58 of the <br />February 14, 2006 draft Strategy~ <br /> <br />We are very interested in the creative solutions, showing that all input has been carefully <br />considered and wishing you continued success as you move forward into crafting the region's <br />final strate gy ~ <br /> <br />Yours very truly, <br /> <br />~~ <br /> <br />LANE SHETTERLY <br />Director <br /> <br />cc: Marguerite Nabeta~ DLCD Regional Representative <br />Carol Heinkel, LCOG <br />
