ATTACHMENT A <br /> <br />M I N U T E S <br /> <br /> <br />Eugene City Council <br />Work Session <br />McNutt Room—Eugene City Hall <br />777 Pearl Street—Eugene, Oregon <br /> <br /> July 23, 2008 <br /> Noon <br /> <br />COUNCILORS PRESENT: Chris Pryor, Bonny Bettman, Bonny Bettman, Betty Taylor, Jennifer <br />Solomon, Andrea Ortiz, Mike Clark, Alan Zelenka. <br /> <br /> <br />Her Honor Mayor Kitty Piercy called the work session of the Eugene City Council to order. She apologized <br />for having to leave the meeting early to attend a personal commitment. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy recognized Ms. Ortiz for a motion. <br /> <br />Ms. Ortiz, seconded by Mr. Clark, moved that the final council action on the University of <br />Oregon’s alley and street vacation requests be scheduled for August 13 instead of September <br />8. <br /> <br />Ms. Ortiz recalled the council’s decision on July 21 to schedule final action for September 8. She had thought <br />about the decision since then and realized she had been uncomfortable with her vote at the time it occurred. <br />She was concerned about the impact of the September 8 date on the University of Oregon’s (UO) ability to <br />move forward with the arena project. <br /> <br />Responding to a question from Ms. Ortiz about the possibility of including an emergency clause in the <br />ordinance, City Attorney Glenn Klein said any ordinance would take effect in 30 days, and it would require six <br />votes to include an emergency clause. He said the UO had indicated it wanted to start the project by <br />September 30, and the ordinance would not be in effect on September 30. <br /> <br />Ms. Ortiz said the UO wished to purchase a piece of land owned by the City but encompassed by UO <br />property. Other issues became involved, bringing politics into the picture. However, that was not what she <br />thought the council should be voting on. She suggested that cooperation between the major institutions in the <br />community could be of mutual benefit and could lead to increased dialogue. She emphasized the importance of <br />jobs for the community and for her constituents, and said she was not willing to threaten the family-wage jobs <br />created by the arena project for even one day. She did not think the council could take the amount of money <br />involved lightly. <br /> <br />Ms. Ortiz acknowledged the other issues related to the conditional use permit (CUP). <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman determined from City Attorney Klein that the Attorney General had not yet provided advice on <br />the UO’s ability to proceed with site excavation without a building permit. Ms. Bettman concluded that even <br />if the council ramped up the decision date, the UO might not be able to start the project when it wanted. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council July 23, 2008 Page 1 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br />
