another jurisdiction. She said the City of Eugene and the City of Springfield were separate entities and <br />Eugene should take care of its own planning and implementation. <br /> <br />Mr. Clark, seconded by Mr. Pryor, moved to spend no more than five minutes on the dis- <br />cussion item. The motion passed, 6:2; Ms. Bettman and Ms. Taylor voting in opposition. <br /> <br />pro tem <br />City Manager Jones explained that the chief executive officers from the three jurisdictions would <br />meet prior to the JEO meeting to discuss process and outcomes based on feedback from their respective <br />elected officials. <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor, seconded by Ms. Bettman, moved to remove from the table her motion direct- <br />ing the City Manager to refrain from making any commitment that would jeopardize the <br />City's ability to fund the acquisition of the Beverly and Green properties. <br /> <br />Mr. Clark urged councilors not to remove the item from the table due to the shortness of time remaining in <br />the work session unless there was time provided at the end of the meeting to consider the charter amendment <br />already on the agenda. <br /> <br />Mr. Poling, seconded by Mr. Clark, moved to postpone until completion of Item B on the <br />agenda. The vote on the motion was a 4:4 tie; Ms. Taylor, Ms. Bettman, Ms. Ortiz, and <br />Mr. Zelenka voting in opposition and Ms. Solomon, Mr. Poling, Mr. Pryor, and Mr. Clark <br />voting in favor. The mayor cast a vote in opposition to the motion and it failed on a final <br />vote of 5:4. <br /> <br />The vote on the motion to remove from the table was a 4:4 tie; Ms. Taylor, Ms. Bettman, <br />Ms. Ortiz, and Mr. Zelenka voting in favor and Ms. Solomon, Mr. Poling, Mr. Pryor, and <br />Mr. Clark voting in opposition. The mayor cast a vote in favor to the motion and it passed <br />on a final vote of 5:4. <br /> <br />Ms. Ortiz asked if Ms. Taylor's intent was to prevent the City Manager from making any decisions that <br />would preclude the ability to purchase the Beverly and Green properties. Ms. Taylor confirmed that was the <br />intent of her motion. <br /> <br />Ms. Ortiz said it would be difficult for her to support the motion because it was too vague and virtually any <br />action by the City Manager could be considered to affect the ability to purchase those properties. She would <br />need more specificity about the funding sources before she could support the motion. <br /> <br />pro tem <br />City Manager Jones remarked that she was not certain what the motion was directing her to do, <br />particularly in light of the fact that she was in negotiations for properties that had been specifically identified <br />and approved by the voters as part of the parks bond measure. She said the funding sources that could <br />potentially be affected by the motion included the General Fund, Facility Reserves, the Telecom Fund and <br />other resources, and more specific direction was needed. <br /> <br />Mr. Poling, seconded by Mr. Clark, called the question. The vote on the motion was a 4:4 <br />tie; Ms. Taylor, Ms. Bettman, Ms. Ortiz, and Mr. Zelenka voting in opposition and Ms. <br />Solomon, Mr. Poling, Mr. Pryor, and Mr. Clark voting in favor. The mayor cast a vote in <br />opposition to the motion and it failed on a final vote of 5:4. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council January 30, 2008 Page 7 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br />
