b. Design Project #2 e In response to a question by Councilor Wooten regarding the options regarding the design elements of 10th and Willamette Street, Ms. Decker stated that staff recommended that the council include the option because each of the design projects reflected some thought of the Downtown Commission to considera- tions of specific design elements. She said that the council's direction should be provided to the staff addressing the design alternatives. She clarified that the only difference between the recommendations by the Planning and Downtown commissions was the language listed under item b. and that the remaining language was provided only for information. She stated that no council action was necessary because the council had already indicated its recommendation in the previous section by approving the opening of Willamette Street between 10th and 11th avenues. Ms. Ehrman moved, seconded by Mr. Obie, that the following language be added to item 2.a. of Design Option #2 on page 11 of the Downtown Pl an: "or between Oak and 01 ive Streets on the south si de of the mall.

Vegetation and Structures on the Downtown Mall Ms. Wooten moved, seconded by Mr. Obie, to adopt the language of Option 2 regarding item c. addressing the Eugene Downtown Mall. Roll call vote; the motion carried unanimously, 8:0. 5. Implementation Priorities Ms. Decker stated that staff was recommending that the City Council recognize the Implementation Priorities as giving direction but that budgetary considera- tions and timing will affect the order in which those programs will be realized. She said the recommendation was that the Implementation Priorities would be included in the plan document but not as part of the Downtown Plan itself. She said staff was also recommending the proposal of the preface as stated on page 5 of the October 26 memorandum. Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Ms. Wooten, to adopt the Implementa- tion Priorities, with the inclusion of the preface as presented by staff. In response to a question by Councilor Wooten, Ms. Decker stated that staff would conclude from the council's previous action that item 19 would be deleted from the Implementation Priorities. Mayor Keller moved to delete that item. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 31, 1984 Pa ge 9
