said the issue was not economic but rather community value and there should be some type of outreach to <br />private for-profit and nonprofit organizations, such as a request for interest (RFI), to determine if there <br />would be any interest should the building become available. He would not be willing to support the current <br />City Hall site as the new City Hall site without some feedback from the community. <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor declared that the current City Hall building had won prizes when it was built and was considered <br />one of the best buildings in the country. She said the council should be cautious about demolishing the <br />building and later regretting it. Consultant Ellen Teninty said use of the current building and its value to the <br />community would be discussed in more detail later in the meeting. <br /> <br />City Manager Taylor agreed that an assessment of community value could be done; however, he felt that it <br />could be difficult for organizations to respond to an RFI without more information about the site and its <br />potential use. <br /> <br />Mr. Kelly asked that community feedback be made available by the council’s September 20, 2006, meeting, <br />particularly if the expectation was that a decision would be made about whether the current site would be <br />selected as one of the two sites for further analysis. <br /> <br />Mr. Papé wanted clarification about the type of information on the current site’s community value that <br />would satisfy other councilors. He was uncertain that issuing an RFI to for-profit and nonprofit organiza- <br />tions would be effective. <br /> <br />Ms. Ortiz echoed Mr. Kelly’s remarks about community value, but said she would also need information <br />about the monetary value. Mr. Penwell said that a more formal analysis would provide that information for <br />the September 20 meeting. <br /> <br />Ms. Ortiz also requested seismic information on the current building. <br /> <br /> <br />Criteria Discussion <br /> <br />Mr. Macy demonstrated the consequences of applying evaluation criteria to various sites and the design <br />teams’ recommendations with regard to eliminating some sites from further consideration because of factors <br />such as flood plain, adjacency to or across railroad tracks, remoteness from the downtown core and <br />incompatibility with sustainable design principles. <br /> <br />In response to a question from Mr. Kelly, Mr. Hacker explained the challenges of designing to LEED <br />standards for a building facing south and north on its long facades and the importance of orientation as a <br />consideration in site choice. Mr. Macy also pointed out sites that could be developed for commercial use to <br />reinforce Broadway as a commercial street. <br /> <br />Ms. Teninty asked for further discussion and direction on the following evaluation criteria: <br /> <br />? <br /> Consideration of sites prime for private development <br />? <br /> Affirmation of downtown planning policies and application to site selection <br />? <br /> Relevance of consolidation of police patrol function with the City Hall complex to the question <br />of site size <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council August 9, 2006 Page 4 <br /> Work Shop <br /> <br />
