<br />RESOLUTION NO. 4660 <br /> <br />A RESOLUTION REAFFIRMING COUNCIL SUPPORT FOR <br />LOCATION OF A NEW FEDERAL COURTHOUSE AT THE <br />"CHIQUITA" SITE WITHIN THE CITY OF EUGENE. <br /> <br />The City Council of the City of Eugene finds that: <br /> <br />A. Prior Council Resolutions have expressed the Council's support for acquisition of the <br /> <br />"Chiquita" property by the Urban Renewal Agency of the City of Eugene ("Agency") as a site for <br /> <br />location of a new federal courthouse. <br /> <br />B. The Agency has entered into a binding purchase agreement with Chiquita to acquire <br /> <br />its property, and has agreed to make a portion of the property available for location of the new <br /> <br />federal courthouse. <br /> <br />C. In the Final Environmental Impact Statement issued in December 2000, the GSA <br /> <br />selected the "Chiquita" site as the preferred alternative location. <br /> <br />D. Location of the new federal courthouse on this site is consistent with the City's <br /> <br />adopted 1984 Downtown Plan; will further a long-held community desire to connect the downtown <br /> <br />with the Willamette River area; would play a pivotal role in implementing the 2000 Greater <br /> <br />Downtown vision currently being discussed by the City Council; and the $70 million investment in <br /> <br />downtown Eugene will enhance the City's role as a regional center for a variety of services, such as <br /> <br />government, business, education, health care, and higher education. <br /> <br />Now, therefore, <br /> <br />BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EUGENE, a <br /> <br />Municipal Corporation of the State of Oregon, as follows: <br /> <br />Resolution - 1 <br />
