<br /> e City Attorney Bill Gary said the council was being asked to consider four <br /> separate motions. He said the first motion was the enactment of a council <br /> bill and that any amendment to the bill should be stated at this time. He <br /> said that if there were no amendments to the council bill, the council should <br /> proceed to the second reading of the bill. He said the three additional <br /> motions being considered at this time were separate from approval of the <br /> bill. <br /> Mr. Bennett said he felt that all portions of the motion were important, but <br /> that he would abstain from voting because he owned businesses on Wi11amette <br /> Street. (Mr. Bennett left the meeting.) <br /> Roll call vote. The motion passed, 5:0:1, with Mr. Bennett <br /> abstaining. <br /> Council Bill 4241 was read the second time by number only. <br /> Ms. Schue moved, seconded by Ms. Ehrman, that the bill con- <br /> cerning a Tenant Mix Plan, including amendments approved by <br /> the Planning Commission and Downtown Commission, be approved <br /> and given final passage. Roll call vote; all councilors <br /> present voting aye, the bill was declared passed (and became <br /> Ordinance No. 19711). <br /> Mayor Miller suggested that the fourth proposal of the Retail Task Force Plan <br /> on public policy be considered at a City Council work session to decide if it <br /> e should be passed on to the Planning Commission. Mr. Rutan said he was sup- <br /> portive of this idea and that the council should be specific about its re- <br /> quest that the commission study public policy in terms of downtown develop- <br /> ment. <br /> Mr. Boles said the Retail Task Force had attempted to list a couple of spe- <br /> cific areas in which it could use the help of the Planning Commission. He <br /> suggested the bill be sent to the Planning Commission with the request that <br /> it consider the recommendation for public policy and report back to the <br /> council within six months. He said the council could further ask that the <br /> Planning Commission comment on whether the request seemed to make sense. He <br /> said the Retail Task Force had flagged this issue and felt that the commis- <br /> sion was the obvious body to which it should be referred. <br /> Ms. Schue said that since the City Council would ultimately make any deci- <br /> sions about changes to public policy concerning downtown development, it <br /> should refine its request for the Planning Commission. <br /> Ms. Ehrman agreed that the council should consider public policy on downtown <br /> development at a work session. She said she was concerned that public policy <br /> would assume top priority if the council requested the Planning Commission to <br /> complete a public policy report within six months. <br /> Ms. Schue moved, seconded by Ms. Ehrman, to delegate further <br /> consideration of the Recommendations for Public Policy to <br /> e MINUTES--Eugene City Council July 25, 1990 Page 3 <br />
