Ms. <br />Szakos said this seems like a strange way to force this on our area, because the state is <br />giving us money we have not had in the past on the condition that we do the project they <br />want us to do. <br /> <br /> Dr. Brown said the process the County chose to follow for doing business on this <br />was embarrassing. However, he sees that this may benefit the City, and he does not think <br />Council has a say on this one way or another. <br /> <br /> Ms. Edwards said she is disappointed in the Board of Supervisors and the <br />direction they have taken this . Also, it puts the City in such a position that it does not <br />matter what we think. She said there is no point in having this discus sion further, and she <br />washes her hands of it. <br /> <br /> Ms. Szakos encouraged people to attend th e public hearings July 14 and July 27 at <br />Lane Public High School at 4pm a nd speak out about this issue. <br />Ms. Szakos moved that Council instruct the MPO representatives to oppose the <br />motion if there is a vote at the next MPO meeting.
