Page 2 of 2 <br /> Cities' expectations for the work product; 2) the description of Coburg's participation must be revised to reflect <br /> that they will be kept informed along the way and will have an appropriate opportunity to comment on the end <br /> product, but that they will not be involved in commenting on or guiding the technical work; and 3) that the State's <br /> request to broaden the scope of the study and to have broader involvement of a steering committee is not <br /> acceptable (again, we described the willingness of the Springfield Council to participate hinges on the ability of <br /> staff to manage the project within the predefined parameters that have already been established by the Council). <br /> What I Understood From Our Discussion Monday Night: <br /> My understanding of your perspectives after discussing this with you on Monday is as follows: <br /> 1) The conditions of Springfield's participation (including provision of any staff resources, which are <br /> required for the project to proceed) remain firm as described above, and that your tolerance for ongoing <br /> discussions regarding proposals for broadening the scope and participants is wearing very thin; <br /> 2) You expect that the scope of work and the roles and responsibilities will be redrafted to meet Springfield <br /> Council's expectations; <br /> 3) Both of you would like to meet with Lane County project management staff to review and approve the <br /> scope and roles before the project can move forward; and <br /> 4) If these terms cannot be accommodated by the County,. it's time to recognize that the project cannot move <br /> forward. <br /> Could you please provide me with feedback to make sure I heard you correctly and can accurately represent my <br /> <br /> ,marching orders????? I will revise as you direct or send as-is to Peter Ruffier so he can provide the County with a <br /> clear understanding of where we stand.
