EXECUTIVE SESSION <br /> <br /> <br />Pursuant to Oregon Revised Statute 192.660(2)(e), Mayor Piercy called the Eugene City Council into <br />executive session to discuss real property transactions. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy adjourned the work session and moved the council into public session. <br /> <br />B. WORK SESSION <br /> Potential Hospital Siting <br /> <br />City Manager Jon Ruiz introduced the item, requesting more council direction on potential hospital sites. <br />The council was also joined for the item by Planning and Development Department Executive Director, <br />Susan Muir, and City Attorney Glenn Klein. <br /> <br />Ms. Ortiz declared a possible conflict of interest due to her employment with PeaceHealth. <br /> <br />Ms. Muir referred the council to the letter she sent to McKenzie-Willamette Hospital about the potential of <br />th <br />using the downtown site at 13 Avenue and Willamette Street as a site for its new hospital. She shared a <br />map of the area and indicated that staff was not recommending the inclusion of the Olive Plaza or Florence <br />Apartments due to the expense of relocating the residents of those developments and the time and complexity <br />it would add to the process. <br /> <br />Ms. Muir reviewed the acts the City was willing to commit to in regard to assisting the hospital to relocate <br />to the site in question, which included financial assistance, the provision of parking, and connection to other <br />medical services. She envisioned the City would construct a public parking garage and provide bulk rate <br />permit parking in the existing parking structures downtown. She said there were also park and ride options <br />to consider. Ms. Muir said the site would require a conditional use permit (CUP), some code variances, and <br />a transportation impact analysis (TIA). She believed the necessary regulatory processes could be run <br />concurrently. She noted it was possible the footprint available for the hospital could be expanded by the <br />vacation of alleys. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council May 28, 2008 Page 1 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br />
