Mr. Kelly thought this would complicate Ms. Bettman's goal to have clear, fact-based decisions prior to <br />taking it to the public. He said there was material introduced from a seismic analysis of the building in a <br />council session earlier in the year. He suggested those sorts of larger questions should inform the discussion <br />on whether to build new or renovate. <br /> <br />Mr. Pap6 stated that the City had certain functions and it was important to decide how the City wanted to <br />manage and house these different functions of the City into the future. He felt the council and City were at a <br />larger junction than just the question of what to do with City Hall. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman reiterated the issues she thought should be decided prior to moving forward, such as whether or <br />not to have the Police Department contiguous to the City Hall facility. She stressed the need to reach <br />consensus at the council on the ;;discrete issues." <br /> <br />Ms. Ortiz stated that she had asked for motion language to remove the railroad yards from the proposed <br />Enterprise Zone, slated for discussion and action at a future meeting. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy stressed the importance of ensuring an adequate amount of public participation to support the <br />progress that the council wished to make. She added that she believed when the City Manager and staff <br />came before the council and provided their opinions on items their intent was to inform the council and not <br />to influence decisions. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy adjourned the meeting at 1:15 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Dennis M. Taylor <br />City Manager <br /> <br />(Recorded by Ruth Atcherson) <br /> <br />MINUTES--Eugene City Council February 23, 2005 Page 8 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br /> <br />
