e E. Urban Renewal Adoption Mr. Holmer indicated that at the November 8 City Council meeting, the council voted to adopt the new Urban Renewal Plan for the Central Eugene Project. He also noted that consideration of Resolution 941 on that agenda was deferred to a later date and expressed concern that this issue has not rescheduled to come before the council in the near future. Resolution 941 grants the City the authority to execute a development and disposition agreement, ground lease agreement, parking structure construction agreement, and reciprocal easement agreement for property located at 8th Avenue and Willamette Street. Mr: Holmer indicated that the council, as an Urban Renewal Agency, should act on Resolution 941 soon and requested staff to provide the council with additional background information that was not provided in the initial packet; included in this request is a copy of Resolution 923. Mr. Holmer said that information provided in Resolution 941 conflicts with information in Resolution 923, especially in regard to the period and compensation for property lease. He further stated that the council has been given no indication to suggest why charging an amount greater than 10 percent of net cash flow would make construction at this site economically infeasible. F. Chocolate Challenge Mr. Miller noted that the University of Oregon football team was recently - invited to the Independence Bowl in Shreveport, Louisiana, and offered a challenge to the Mayor of Tulsa regarding the results of this game. Mr. Miller indicated that he would send a letter to the Mayor wagering several boxes of "homegrown" chocolate that the Oregon Ducks will be victorious in this competition. G. Southern Willamette Private Industry Council (SWIPIC) Mr. Miller reminded council members that Mr. Rutan had requested that each member of the council attend a SWIPIC meeting in his place and asked for a volunteer to attend the November 30 meeting. Ms. Ehrman volunteered. H. World AIDS Day Mr. Miller informed the council that December 1 is World AIDS Day and said that he has been asked to have a council representative present at this ceremony. It was also requested that the City fly its flags at half-staff in order to bring awareness of the tragedy that is occurring within our nation as a result of AIDS. The council offered unanimous support for this suggestion. Ms. Ehrman volunteered to represent that council at this commemoration. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council November 22, 1989 Page 4
