Mr. Poling clarified he was not saying the grant was a bad idea; he did not know. He agreed with Ms. <br />Ortiz there were many grants the council was probably unaware of, but pointed out the majority were <br />reviewed by the Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations. He said that not all councilors were <br />able to attend all events, and the information shared at the kick-off was not shared with those unable to <br />attend. <br /> <br />Like Mr. Bozievich, Mr. Poling found the money involved to be significant, particularly in the current <br />economy. He did not know how much the City of Eugene would be asked to contribute to the <br />partnership, and wanted a clearer picture of what was expected of Eugene. Mr. Poling objected to the fact <br />that he had to obtain the meeting materials on his own. He reiterated he did not know his position on the <br />grant. He waited until he secured all possible information before making a decision. <br /> <br />Mr. Leiken hoped the three chief executive officers of the three jurisdictions would meet to discuss the <br />parameters of the MOU with the concerns they had heard today in mind. He had also been at the kick-off, <br />but found the information shared at that time to be more conceptual than detailed in nature. <br /> <br /> <br />IV.
