ISSUE STATEMENT
This work session provides an opportunity for the council to discuss a range of issues for City of Eugene
boards and commissions, including membership, appointments, vacancies, and communications between
advisory groups and council.
BACKGROUND
The City of Eugene has a number of standing boards, and commissions and committees, including the
Budget Committee, Human Rights Commission, Planning Commission, Historic Review Board, Police
Commission, Civilian Review Board, Sustainability Commission, and Toxics Board. Other ad hoc
council committees and department advisory committees also make valuable contributions to the
community and the City of Eugene organization.
In June 2009, the council affirmed best outcomes in three areas:
1)Representation
The makeup of boards, commissions and committees should over time represent the richness of our
community’s perspectives, neighborhoods, and population demographics – race and ethnicity, gender,
age, socioeconomic class, dis/ability and other factors.
2)Board, commission and committee member development
Advisory group members are effective and feel satisfied because they have the training and support to be
successful contributors – both before becoming candidates for vacancies and following their
appointments.
3)Recruitment and selection
Communication and procedures associated with outreach, recruitment, interviews, selection and
appointments are fair, accessible, transparent and civil.
On September 28, 2009, the council approved an ordinance changing the effective start date of advisory
group member terms – shifting from November 1 to July 1. The full effect of this change will occur in
2011, with recruitment getting underway early in the calendar year and council interviews in the spring.

This change was intended to align better with advisory group work plans and improve outreach to
potential applicants.
Issue: Appointment and Membership
In recent months, the council has raised questions about recommendations from advisory groups for
appointments and requests for removal of members. Membership procedures are largely embedded in
Eugene City Code, with additional protocols in bylaws adopted by the different boards and
commissions.
None of the standing advisory groups to the council has authority to appoint or remove members;
however, several have procedures for reviewing applications or interviewing prospective members and
offering recommendations to the Mayor and council. Board and commission members generally can be
removed by council upon a member’s resignation or for non-attendance. Additionally, the Human
Rights Commission has a unique City Code provision, adopted by the council in 1990, which allows a
recommendation that the council remove a member upon concurring with the commission that a member
has failed to properly represent the commission or otherwise damaged its work.
The structure and processes for boards and commissions vary – from the number of members and term

lengths to the manner in which members are selected. provides an overview of these
processes.
Issue: Communications with Boards and Commissions
The council and advisory group members (including boards, commissions and neighborhood
associations) have all expressed a desire to strengthen communications.
Annual report and work plan sessions currently occur for the Planning Commission, Civilian Review
Board, Sustainability Commission, Human Rights Commission, and Police Commission. These groups
also may check in on an occasional basis on specific topics. Regular work sessions are not planned for
the Toxics Board and Budget Committee, although the council meets regularly with the latter during
budget season. Formal communications to obtain updates and provide direction for Eugene’s members
on intergovernmental committees are not established.
Additional options include:
-Advisory group members can testify on particular issues at public forums and public hearings,
identifying themselves either as representing an adopted position of the group or presenting as
individuals who incidentally are advisory group members.
-Advisory groups can provide written testimony and other materials via email and/or the weekly
council packet.
-Advisory groups can communicate about events and actions through the weekly council
newsletter, working with their support staff to submit articles.
-Advisory groups can provide written progress reports to council -- quarterly or twice yearly.
-Council liaisons to advisory groups can provide updates during the Committee Reports agenda
item at council meetings.
-Advisory groups can continue to request work sessions on particular topics when strategic and
appropriate.

Issue: Work Plans & Alignment
Advisory groups provide a valuable way for community members to influence City policies and
practices. While annual reports and work plans offer one way for standing advisory committees to
check in with council on their direction and approach, the feedback loop may not always support full
and timely consideration of issues and concerns. The October 2010 Neighborhood Summit focused on
issues of advocacy, outreach and representation, and what it means to be in an advisory role to City
decision makers. These are ongoing themes for boards and commissions. Preserving the diverse voices
advisory groups can offer while strengthening their alignment with council goals takes smart structures
and processes, open communications, and ongoing member development and education.
Issue: Training and Development
As part of a commitment to building skills and capacity among advisory group members, a number of
opportunities have occurred and are planned. Collaboration across advisory groups and neighborhood
associations also is a priority. This work includes:
a.Advisory group general orientation – Two sessions were offered in January 2010, and expanded
to include neighborhood leaders; one session also was open to the public. City staff, including
the City Attorney, provided information about the City budget process, Oregon Public Records
and Open Meetings laws, meeting facilitation, and working with the media. This general
orientation, which is offered every year or two, supplements specific orientations offered for
each advisory group.
b.Neighborhood leaders training - This recurring training expanded to include interested advisory
group members, on a space-available basis, and it covers roles and responsibilities of a formally-
recognized neighborhood association, and provides information about City departments and the
many services provided, important resources available to help neighborhoods organize
themselves and accomplish great things.
c.Neighborhood Summit – The annual summit provides a forum for discussion among
neighborhood leaders and future leaders, advisory group members, elected officials and City
staff on critical issues.
d.Best practices training - Set for November 6, this will provide in-depth training to neighborhood
leaders and advisory group members to increase effectiveness, including member participation,
outreach and effective decision-making processes.
e.The Diversity and Equity Strategic Plan also includes an action item to develop and begin
offering free trainings for community members on City services and processes, beginning in
FY11.
RELATED CITY POLICIES
This item relates to the City Council goals of Effective, Accountable Municipal Government: a
government that works openly, collaboratively, and fairly with the community to achieve measurable

welcome.
In addition, the council in 2007 adopted an action plan recommended by the Council Committee on
Race: Enhance outreach efforts to our communities of color to increase racial and ethnic diversity on
City boards and commissions.

In addition to the boards and commissions in subsection (1) above:
(a) The council may create council standing or ad hoc committees to advise
the council on the creation of policy and develop recommendations for
council direction or action; and,
(b) The city manager or designee may create standing or ad hoc
departmental advisory committees to make recommendations to city staff
and departments concerning the implementation of city policy.
At the time an ad hoc or standing committee is created, the committee’s charge
or task shall be specified. At the time an ad hoc committee is
created, the council or city manager also shall specify a specific date for
completion of the work, and the committee shall cease to exist upon
completion. Standing committees shall continue in effect until dissolved by the
council (for council created committees) or the city manager (for department
advisory committees).
(3)
The mayor shall nominate, and the council shall appoint the members of any
committee established by the council unless a different procedure is specified at
the time the committee is established. The city manager or designee shall
appoint the members of department advisory ad hoc committees, unless a
different procedure is specified at the time the committee is established. The
number of members of each committee will be as established at the time it is
created.
(4)
As the need arises to fill any vacancy, or from time to time as the council
directs, the city shall conduct a well planned publicity campaign making use of
media, community centers, neighborhood associations, and other civic interest
groups to create an awareness among the public of the opportunities for citizen
participation in local government. All releases shall be designed so as to make
known the number and nature of board, commission and committee vacancies,
any existing criteria for selection, the timing and methods of appointments and
selection procedures, and an explanatory statement regarding the limitations on
opportunities to serve.
(5)
At such times as may be appropriate throughout the year, the city manager
shall cause to be distributed and collected, citizen interest forms on which
interested citizens may indicate their interest in participating in local government
areas of special interest to them. The forms shall be prepared by the city
manager and approved by the council, and shall be so designed as to be
applicable to both existing positions and such new positions as may be created
from time to time, including positions on ad hoc committees, and shall contain
space for such information as the applicant's appropriate civic and
neighborhood experience, applicable skills, appointments of particular interest
to them, and the times(s) which they will be available to serve. In addition, the
forms shall contain a space for the applicant's consent to the sharing of the
completed form with other interested units of local government.
(6)
All appointments to the boards, commissions and committees of the city shall
be made as indicated in subsections (1) and (2) above, or as designated by the
ordinance or state law creating the board, commission or committee. In
nominating or making appointments, the council, mayor, or city manager or
designee shall take into consideration information provided by the citizen
interest form, and shall nominate or appoint only those persons who at the time
of appointment, reside within the city's urban growth boundary. If during their
term a member ceases to reside or work, if applicable, within the city's urban
growth boundary, the position shall be vacated, effective as of the date
a qualified resident from within the city's urban growth boundary willing to serve
is appointed to fill the position. The council may waive the residency
requirement if the council deems it to be in the best interest of the committee
purpose and function. In addition to any other provisions in this code for
declaring a position vacant, the council may remove a member from a board,
commission or committee and declare the position vacant if a member is absent
without leave of the chair from three consecutive meetings of the board,
commission or committee of which he or she is a member.
(7)
Any and all boards, commissions and committees appointed pursuant to state
law or ordinance of the city shall exercise the functions and perform the
responsibilities therein contained. Any ad hoc committee created by the council
or department advisory ad hoc committee created by the city manager or
designee shall perform the duties prescribed at the time the committee is
created. All committees shall have a chairperson to be appointed by the
council, or city manager or designee, or in the absence of such appointment a
chairperson and secretary shall be elected by vote of a majority of the
committee at its first meeting. Committee membership may include members of
the council and interested citizens, or both.
(8)
The membership of an ad hoc committee appointed for a specific purpose shall
end at the time the final report of the committee is made to the council or city
manager or designee.
(9)
Unless otherwise provided in the ordinance, resolution, state law or other action
creating the board, commission or committee, the terms of all members on
boards, commissions and committees other than ad hoc or department advisory
committees shall expire on June 30 of the year the member's term has been
designated to expire. If no qualified successor has been appointed as of that
date, a member's term shall continue until the member's successor is appointed
and qualified.
(10)
Vacancies on boards, commissions and committees, including ad hoc and
department advisory committees, shall be filled in the same manner as original
appointments, unless those procedures are in conflict with the ordinance,
resolution or state law creating the same.
(11)
Pursuant to the requirements and provisions of section 294.336 of Oregon
Revised Statutes, a budget committee shall consist of all members of the
council and a like number of qualified electors of the city, who shall be
appointed by the council for terms of three years. The term of an appointive
member shall expire as provided in subsection (9) of this section, and, upon
council approval, an appointive member may be reappointed once to such
position upon expiration of the term for which originally appointed. Vacancies in
the appointive membership of the budget committee shall be filled in the same
manner as original appointments.
