Mr. Kelly reported that the State was going to sell its office building. He said that the County had <br />some interest in purchasing the site and constructing a new building and suggested that the City <br />might work in cooperation with the County to construct the building jointly. <br /> <br />Mr. Meisner commented that LUCU implementation would not necessarily increase the number of <br />Measure 7 claims. He reiterated Mr. Kelly's desire to implement the new code as soon as <br />possible. <br /> <br />Mayor Torrey stressed the importance of the council deciding on a consistent public forum policy <br />for its regular sessions. He said that he was embarrassed that it took more time to make a <br />decision about how much time to allow for comment than it took for the actual public forum. He <br />added that he did not want the time allowed to be changed from week-to-week, depending on who <br />showed up to testify. <br /> <br />Addressing school closures, Mayor Torrey said that the 4J School Board was requesting that there <br />be no joint meeting at the current time as it had a very full meeting schedule. He noted that the <br />school board welcomed councilors to attend regular school board meetings. <br /> <br />Mayor Torrey called for a report from legal counsel on the impacts of Measure 7 on LUCU. He <br />expressed concern over the potential financial impacts. <br /> <br />Mayor Torrey indicated that he would leave the meeting at 6:30 p.m., Mr. Farr would leave at 7:30 <br />p.m., and Mr. Pap8 would leave at 8 p.m. <br /> <br /> B. WORK SESSION: Council Goals - Goals Setting Session <br /> <br />Margo Helphand provided a summary of the previous goal setting session. She said that the <br />evening's meeting would continue the work on action priorities. <br /> <br /> 1.

He <br />noted that this would continue and said that the item was no longer an action priority. There was <br />general consensus to strike the item from the list. <br /> <br /> · Ensure that community cultural resources are maintained <br /> <br />Mr. Kelly was in favor of keeping the item on the list. He noted that there was an expected report <br />from the Cultural Services Department Advisory Committee (DAC) that could spark some action <br />priorities. He suggested that the item could be focused on the Cultural Services DAC report. <br /> <br /> MINUTES--Eugene City Council February 14, 2001 Page 2 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br /> <br />
