man named Ryan Allen. Mr. Richardson noted that there would be no CPC term expirations that year, but there would be five the following year: the terms of Mr. Hughes, Mr. McIntire, Mr. Biggs, Ms. Morrison and Ms. Jones would expire in 2011. He stated that if any of these CPC members wanted to continue to serve beyond the end of their terms, they needed to fill out an application. It was determined that there was a six -year term limit, and that the term end date was now July 1. Mr. Richardson said that the application period was ongoing. Any person could apply to be on the CPC at any time. Mr. Richardson explained that the City was no longer providing minutes recording internally. Minutes recording would still be available through Lane Council of Governments (LCOG) at a slightly higher rate. He noted that he and Mr. Hyde were discussing the issue, and the cost would most likely be split between POS and Willamalane in the future, if professional recorders continued to be hired. He noted that public meetings law required minutes, and that staff people would have to take minutes if the service was not purchased through LCOG. He noted that an audio recording, with an addendum outlining who voted how, could be substituted for minutes. Mr. Sonnichsen asked how CPC members could peruse minutes if this was done. He said that at one point, a CPC member had written meeting minutes. This precluded them from being much of a participant. Ms. Behm explained that she was the last minutes recorder on the CPC, but the CPC had decided to hire a City minutes recorder when the stadium expansion controversy had occurred. Because the UO Athletic Department had asked for CPC meeting minutes, the City had decided an objective minutes recorder was needed. Mr. Richardson will recommend that the City continue to hire a minutes recorder, at least for the meetings held in Eugene. He noted that it was a costly service, and the costs had increased, and that Willamalane will need to cover some of the minutes recording costs Mr. Richardson encouraged CPC members to become familiar with the City of Eugene Advisory Groups Member and Staff Manual. He noted that advisory group member emails that discussed committee busi- ness were public record. Mr. Hyde stated that Bob Keefer had been inclined to have Mr. Hyde or one of his staffers write the meet- ing minutes rather than continuing to hire professional recorders, since it would be much more affordable. Willamalane was appreciative of the fact that the City of Eugene had paid for professional minutes record- ing for past meetings. Mr. Richardson distributed newly - finished Ridgeline Trail maps. Ms. Behm stated that three CPC members had attended the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee meeting, and Michelle Cahill had been there and had stated that there was a provision that the 12 -foot wide concrete path standard was not always necessary in natural areas. Mr. Richardson stated that there was a City standard, but it did not have to be applied, and there was no language that applied specifically to natural areas. He said that staff thought concrete was a better solution because it did not require as much maintenance. P1 MINUTES — Citizen Planning Committee for the July 15, 2010 Page 10 Whilamut Natural Area
