Mr. MacDonald asked that the minutes of March 4, 1992, lunch work session, be removed from the consent calendar. Mr. Nicholson asked that the resolution concerning the Oregon Air Museum be removed from the consent calendar. Councilors agreed to act on the resolu- tion following approval of the consent calendar. Mr. Green moved, seconded by Ms. Ehrman, to approve the re- maining items on the City Council consent calendar. Roll call vote; the motion passed unanimously, 7:0. Mr. Nicholson moved, seconded by Ms. Ehrman, to amend Resolu- tion No. 4323 to strike the renewal clause. Mr. Nicholson said he spoke to Mike Boggs, Public Works, Airport Division, about the resolution and expressed concern about potential lease opportuni- ties in the future being compromised. Responding to a question from Mr. Green, Bill Gary, City Attorney's Office, said he understood that the amendment was to delete the following clause from the resolution: "... with an option to renew for an additional ten years. .." He explained that the amendment would still allow renewal discussions to be held in ten years but without any legal obligation on be- half of the lessor or lessee. He said the term "option" generally means that the lessee has a right to renew a lease beyond the lease term. Ms. Bascom expressed appreciation for the efforts involved in developing the museum, saying that it was an interesting attraction for Eugene. Mr. MacDonald echoed Ms. Bascom and said he hoped the amendment would be inter- preted by the Oregon Air Museum as a challenge. Roll call vote; the motion to amend Resolution 4232 passed 6:1, with Councilor Green voting nay. Mr. Green moved, seconded by Ms. Ehrman, to adopt the resolu- tion as amended. Roll call vote; the motion passed unanimous- ly, 7:0. MINUTES--Eugene City Council 7:30 p.m. May 26, 1992 Page 3
