e There was general agreement to consider two issues if it was determined that a single ballot measure could not be drafted. Mr. Gleason requested further clarification of the council's intent if the voters reject the proposed library project. Mr. Boles moved, seconded by Mr. Rutan, under the Urban Renewal Authority, to reimburse Pankow Development for reasonable expenses, not to exceed $100,000, to allow the design of the building to be switched back to a mixed-commercial-use space in the event that the voters of Eugene do not approve the library project. Ms. Schue stated that the implicit assumption is that the voters' rejection of the serial levy request would be a rejection of the whole project. Answering Mr. Holmer's questions, Mr. Gleason said that a serial levy is limited to three years. Ms. Schue asked when collection of a serial levy would commence if the money is not needed for three years. There was agreement to discuss Ms. Schue's question at a later time. The motion passed unanimously, 7:0. Mr. Gleason said the motion would be brought to the council as an Urban Renewal Authority. e Ms. Bascom indicated her preference was not to go to the voters on a difficult issue on which the council's vote was four to three. She suggested obtaining wording from the City Attorney's Office for both a single measure and two separate questions and then attempting to obtain a unanimous vote of the co.uncil. Mr. Miller requested staff to bring back wording on both one and two questions for council consideration at its next meeting. Ms. Ehrman noted that she would be absent from the council's January 18 meeting. The work session adjourned to January 18, 1989, at 8:55 p.m. Respe~~.~rpJ~ ??~'/7.. .- .. ~_ -,,:...-..,'-i,--,>--'-'..-_ .,,,. ....1.! ,,j.' , ,o'-~::"./,'"/V- ~";~7"- ~ Miih~al Gl~ason, City Manager (recorded by Mary Feldman) mncc 011189-530 e MINUTES--Eugene City Council Dinner/ Work Session January 11, 1989 Page 11
