Ms. Bettman appreciated the response to her questions. She thought the public benefit language should be <br />more general, e.g. that the bid would be given on the basis of criteria including the highest bid and the City <br />Manager could then refuse a bid on any grounds. She wanted there to be enough discretion to move forward <br />quickly and to also take into account the public benefit. <br /> <br />Mr. Klein suggested one thing to consider would be to add something that said the bid would go to the <br />highest bidder subject to a determination by the agency or the City Manager that the purchase of develop- <br />ment was consistent with the provisions set forth in the West Broadway Development Advisory Committee <br />report. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman felt the recommendations in the report had been so broad that she could “not imagine that <br />anything would not fall under” them. She suggested that the language say “the agency” as opposed to “the <br />Agency Director.” <br /> <br />Mr. Klein said they could certainly provide that the proposal should include the amount of the bid and an <br />explanation of what the proposer believed the public benefits to be. <br /> <br />Mr. Pryor, seconded by Ms. Bettman, moved to direct the Agency Director to solicit offers <br />from parties interested in an assignment of the purchase options not being exercised by the <br />Urban Renewal Agency based on the methodology presented at this work session. <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor moved to substitute a motion to direct the Agency Director to solicit offers from <br />tenants interested in an assignment of a purchase option no being exercised by the Urban <br />Renewal Agency based on the methodology below: <br />? <br /> Request for bids will be delivered to tenants of a building covered by an option. <br />? <br /> Minimum bid will be established at the total of the Urban Renewal Agency’s option <br />money payment(s). <br />? <br /> Only tenants may submit bids. If multiple tenants of a building submit bids, then <br />the tenant submitting the highest bid will be awarded the assignment. <br />? <br /> If no tenant submits a bid, then the option will expire. <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council February 20, 2008 Page 5 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br />
