Appointment of Civilian Review Board Representative to Police Commission <br /> <br />Councilor Ortiz, seconded by Councilor Pryor, moved to approve the items on the Consent <br />Calendar. <br /> <br />Councilor Bettman stated that she had previously submitted corrections to the minutes. Mayor Piercy <br />deemed the corrections, without objection, approved. <br /> <br />Councilor Taylor asked to read a minutes correction into the record.

She recounted that the City had been <br />awarded a $2 million Brownfield Economic Development Initiative (BEDI) grant from HUD and the 108 <br />loan program had to be used in conjunction with the grant. She recalled that the council placed two <br />conditions on the authorization, one of which was to hold a public hearing. Two people testified at the <br />public hearing and three submitted comments via email. She noted the testimony in regard to the program <br />that had been provided during the Public Forum section of the meeting. She said the other condition that the <br />council had placed on the HUD 108 loan was that the council pass a resolution that the loan had to be used <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council July 23, 2007 Page 4 <br /> Regular Meeting <br /> <br />
