M I NUT E S e Eugene City Council McNutt Room--City Hall September 10, 1986 noon COUNCILORS PRESENT: Debra Ehrman, Cynthia Wooten, Roger Rutan, Jeff Miller, Ruth Bascom. COUNCILORS ABSENT: Richard Hansen, Emily Schue, Freeman Holmer. The adjourned meeting from September 8, 1986, was called to order by Council Vice President Debra Ehrman. 1. ITEMS FROM COUNCIL, MAYOR, AND CITY MANAGER , No unscheduled items were discussed. II. DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY (URBAN RENEWAL PLAN UPDATE) e City Manager Mike Gleason introduced the item. Bob Hibschman, Greg Byrne, and Kirk McKinley of the Development and Planning Departments presented staff reports. Mr. Hibschman said staff had been working on the renewal plan update since the first of the year, and the plan had been presented to community groups. He also said staff had been working with the Downtown Commission to refine goals, using the Downtown Plan as an overall guide, and had been initiating studies to provide information for making decisions. He added that the Planning Commission had received two updates and had a role in making a recommendation to the Council on the update. Mr. Hibschman said the State Legislature in 1979 had made changes to the statute, specifying plan content and limitations on renewal districts. Since those changes, staff had been working on bringing the plan into conformance with the new Downtown Plan and with State format, he said. He added that the Downtown Plan adopted in 1984 had provided impetus for the Renewal Plan Update, which was considered an implementation plan for the Downtown Plan for that portion of downtown in the renewal district. Responding to Ms. Ehrman's question, Mr. Hibschman said the original plan had specified no time limit to the district. He added that State law required a termination date to be specified for retirement of debt service. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council September 10, 1986 Page 1
