2003, a group of citizens started meeting to discuss issues facing Eugene. As a result of their discussions they recommended that an inventory of lands proceed as a crucial step toward making sound land use decisions (see Attachment B). On February 11, 2004, LMP Executive Director Jack Roberts met with the Lane County Board of Commissioners and reiterated that they are recommending that Lane County agree to pay $15,000 toward a land supply study. He indicated they were asking the cities of Springfield and Eugene to match Lane County's contribution (see Attachment C). In addition, the Mayor's Committee on Economic Development has recommended that the City support and contribute to a regional buildable lands analysis of available commercial and industrial land consistent with state requirements. (See Attachment A, Economic Development Strategy Summary Report, included with the Agenda Item Summary for the August 9, 2004, discussion of the Economic Development Committee recommendations.) Timing None. OPTIONS 1. The council may agree to match a $15,000 contribution from other jurisdictions and direct the LMP to initiate a process for updating the land survey. 2. The council may take no action. 3. The council may direct staff alternatively. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends Option 1. SUGGESTED MOTION Move to provide $15,000 in contingency funds for the commercial/industrial land study. ATTACHMENTS A. Letter from Lane Metro Partnership, dated May 30, 2003 B.
