committee was a valuable voice of the citizenry. Perceive the lay members' utility as more short - <br />term or medium -term value rather than long -term vision or community direction, which is what <br />this conversation is about. However, acknowledge example of Mr. Barofsky, who advocated for <br />long -term capital needs. Perhaps there was more value in involving the committee lay members <br />in the longer term discussion. (Clark) <br />• No problem with individuals on committee but I do wish the composition of the committee was <br />more reflective of the entire community. Everyone on the committee lived in south Eugene and I <br />believe it would have more value if its members were more geographically diverse. (Clark) <br />• Budget Committee lay members can bring public viewpoint to suggestions and recommendations. <br />Creating that kind of opportunity makes sense. Historically committee members have liked being <br />asked to do more regarding long -term strategies. (Piercy) <br />• When I served on Budget Committee it had a subcommittee focused on how improvements to the <br />Capital Improvement Program. Such tasks were worthwhile for the committee members. (Clark) <br />• Committee necessary but insufficient in conversation —like urban growth boundary conversation. <br />It was a broader conversation that called for another `Envision Eugene" sort of process. Such a <br />process could serve as a model for how the community made tough decisions. Want to avoid <br />community polarization. (Zelenka) <br />• Recall that in past each councilor appointed a committee member, leading to more variety of <br />opinions. Could reconsider that approach. Remember, committee members were not elected and <br />were no more out in the community than councilors. (Taylor) <br />City Manager Ruiz indicated that the workshop was the beginning of a larger conversation. He <br />anticipated that staff would return with additional thoughts and recommendations. He thanked those who <br />participated. <br />Mayor Piercy adjourned the meeting at 8:17 p.m. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />,8-t� Jot A <br />Beth Forrest <br />City Recorder <br />(Recorded by Kimberly Young) <br />MINUTES— Eugene City Council April 18, 2010 Page 5 <br />Work Session <br />
