police headquarters was being considered, site E would probably need structured parking and a multi-story <br />building to accommodate all police functions. <br /> <br />Ms. Ortiz commented that another reason she had heard for rejecting site R was that the system of steam <br />pipes in downtown could make the streets impassable in a catastrophic event. <br /> <br />Ms. Ortiz, seconded by Mr. Pryor, moved to direct the City Manager to proceed <br />with development of a patrol facility concept design for site E, and continue to ex- <br />plore the acquisition of potential sites D, E and F. <br /> <br />Mr. Poling offered a friendly amendment to change the language as follows: <br />"…concept design for site E, and continue to explore the acquisition of potential <br />sites D, E and F continue to explore acquisition of sites E and F." Ms. Ortiz and <br />Mr. Pryor accepted the friendly amendment. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman said she could not support removing patrol from downtown and thought that sites T and P <br />were viable sites. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to amend the motion by including <br />acquisition of sites T and P. <br /> <br />Mr. Clark said he would not support the amendment, as he did not want the City to plan to build a public <br />facility in the middle of what could potentially be a wonderful park. <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor stated that her preferred location was still site R. <br /> <br />Mr. Pryor did not like either site T or site P as both had potential problems related to unwilling sellers or <br />unsuitable use of the site and could not support the amendment. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman said she was adding site R to her motion. <br /> <br />Mr. Penwell reminded the council that a patrol facility could not be built on sites P and T and meet current <br />planning and zoning requirements, although a variance could be requested. <br /> <br />Mr. Clark said that voting against Ms. Bettman's amendment did not mean he was voting against a <br />downtown facility; he was voting against sites that were not suitable for a patrol facility. <br /> <br />The motion to amend failed, 4:2; Ms. Bettman and Ms. Taylor voting in favor. <br /> <br />The main motion passed, 4:2; Ms. Bettman and Ms. Taylor voting in opposition. <br /> <br />The meeting adjourned at 1:30 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Angel Jones <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council October 17, 2007 Page 7 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br />
