the State typically considered in terms of extensions. He confirmed there was a deadline. The deadline had already been extended multiple times. If EWEB did not secure another extension, the State would certificate the need that had been demonstrated. Water Master Mattick confirmed that there was unallocated water in the McKenzie River and each application would be reviewed and would be subject to a public process. As time went on, it would be harder to secure a permit. He also confirmed there was no other municipality that could sell water to Veneta. Responding to a question from Councilor Zelenka, City Attorney Glenn Klein indicated that the matter before the council was not a land use issue so the council did not have to hold the record open. Staff would attach any submitted testimony to the next council agenda item summary related to the item. He suggested that any additional materials be provided to the council by June 21 by 5 p.m. Councilor Taylor believed the “City could take EWEB back if it wanted to.” 4. ACTION: Human Rights Commission Membership Councilor Clark, seconded by Councilor Taylor, moved to concur with the Human Rights Commission recommendation to remove the Position 6 incumbent from the commission and fill the vacancy from the non-commission members of the commission’s standing committees. Councilor Taylor, seconded by Councilor Zelenka, moved to amend the motion by making the council the body that makes the appointment. Human Rights Commission staff Holly LeMasurier indicated that the code calls for the commission to appoint a member from among its standing committees. Councilor Taylor withdrew her motion. Councilor Zelenka withdrew his second. Responding to a question from Councilor Poling, Ms. LeMasurier indicated that the commissioner in question would have missed six months, including two absences before a proposed leave. Responding to a question from Councilor Clark, Ms. LeMasurier indicated the term in question was due to expire in July. Councilor Clark concurred with Councilor Poling’s remarks. Councilor Poling said he did not understand what was going on and for that reason would not support the motion. City Manager Ruiz said it was not merely an issue of missed meetings, but an anticipated absence that would mean a total of six meetings, or half the individual’s term, would be missed. Councilor Poling pointed out that a leave of absence could be granted by the commission. MINUTES—Eugene City Council June 14, 2010 Page 9 Regular Meeting
