Ms. Piercy convened the meeting of the Eugene Urban Renewal Agency (URA). <br /> <br />C. WORK SESSION: West Broadway Advisory Committee Recommendations <br /> <br />Denny Braud, Planning and Development Department, referred to the agenda packet which included a <br />proposed motion and recommended next steps, which included working with Beam and KWG to develop <br />detailed proposals by mid-November. He said there would be a level of detail in the proposals that would <br />allow the council to determine their consistency with the West Broadway Advisory Committee (WBAC) <br />recommendations and evaluate project financing. He said that other steps involved working toward binding <br />agreements and continuing public involvement in downtown development. He anticipated returning to the <br />URA in January with an outline of possible terms that could be included in the binding agreements. <br /> <br />Mr. Pryor, seconded by Ms. Solomon, moved to accept the recommendations pre- <br />sented in the WBAC final report, and to direct the Agency Director to work with <br />Beam and KWG to develop project proposals as consistent as possible with the <br />WBAC recommendations. The Agency Director shall bring the project proposals <br />to the URA for review, including financial details. If a proposal is not completely <br />consistent with the WBAC recommendations, then the Agency Director, when pre- <br />senting the proposal for URA review, shall identify which WBAC recommenda- <br />tions are not met, why not, and what the cost or development implications would be <br />to change the proposal to make it consistent. Prior to the URA's approval of pro- <br />ject proposals and financial details that would be included in agreements with Beam <br />and KWG, the Agency Director shall create opportunities for the public to provide <br />input on the project proposals and financial details, including a public hearing be- <br />fore the URA. Following input from the public, the Agency Director shall bring <br />terms to be included in agreements with Beam and KWG for approval. <br /> <br />Mr. Zelenka offered a friendly amendment to insert the phrase "as amended by the <br />changes presented by Councilor Zelenka at the September 24th council work ses- <br />sion" at the end of the first sentence and strike subsequent uses of "WBAC" in the <br />motion. Mr. Pryor and Ms. Solomon accepted the friendly amendment. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council September 24, 2007 Page 7 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br />
