EUGENE CITY COUNCIL <br />AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY <br /> <br /> Work Session: City Council Priority Issue - Hospital Development in the <br /> Central Core <br /> <br />Meeting Date: August 8, 2005 Agenda Item Number: B <br />Department: Central Services Staff Contact: Dennis Taylor <br />www. eugene-or, gov Contact Telephone Number: 682-5010 <br /> <br />ISSUE STATEMENT <br />The purpose of this work session is to review the proposed work plan for addressing the priority <br />issue for hospital development in the central core of Eugene. The council is asked to approve or <br />modify the proposed action plan. Specific elements of the action plan that require council policy <br />or budgetary action would be brought forward as separate items. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br />In February, the City Council met to develop strategic priorities for the community. Out of that <br />session emerged eight priority issues. The priority issues and executive leads for each issue are: <br /> <br /> 1. Launch neighborhood initiative - Public Works <br /> 2. Conclude discussion on City Hall/Police Building - Assistant City Manager <br /> 3. Facilitate the development of a hospital in Eugene's central core - City Manager <br /> 4. Complete and consider Police Department reviews and implement appropriate <br /> changes - Police <br /> 5. Push arts and outdoors as a theme for Eugene - Planning and Development <br /> 6. Re-staff Fire station #9 - Fire and Emergency Services <br /> 7. Develop City Council position on racial issues - Human Resources and Risk Services <br /> 8. Develop a strategy to help the homeless in Eugene - Library, Recreation and Cultural <br /> Services <br /> <br />The expectation from the council was that the City Manager would develop recommended action <br />plans for each strategic priority and return this summer for discussion, input, and adoption of the <br />plans. Subsequent to the council's identification of these issues, a template was developed by <br />the Executive Managers for use by each project team in developing specific action plans. A <br />copy of that template is included as Attachment A. <br /> <br />The action plan for Hospital Development in the Central Core is included as Attachment B. This <br />action plan identifies the major policy issues to be addressed, the overall description of project <br />phasing, the nature of work to be accomplished, resource needs and proposed project outcomes. <br /> <br /> L:\CMO\2005 Council Agendas\M050808\S050808B.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
