<br />e In response to questions from Ms. Ehrman, Mr. Bowers said that the council <br /> newsletter reported that DEI has collected its threshold level of private <br /> service contracts, triggering the $70,000 match. He said that Lane Community <br /> College (LCC) has expressed conncern with how this parking transition will <br /> impact their students. LCC has created a short-term committee to make recom- <br /> mendations on this and is also going to create a second committee to explore <br /> the most appropriate role for its Downtown Center over the long term. The <br /> City has been invited to participate on both of these groups. <br /> Ms. Ehrman suggested that the council be notified of those meetings. Mr. <br /> Boles suggested that the Downtown Commission would be the most appropriate <br /> forum for this discussion. <br /> Mr. Robinette said that mothballing the Gross Receipts Tax creates ambiguity <br /> in the code and suggested that the council repeal the tax entirely. Mr. <br /> Nicholson agreed. <br /> Mr. Nicholson asked about the memorandum the council received stating that <br /> the deadline for DEI to reach its private service contracts was extended. He <br /> asked who set the original deadline and on what authority the deadline exten- <br /> sion was granted. He also asked whether the City has verified the contracts. <br /> Mr. Boles responded that the council approved the deadline extension by tacit <br /> consent. Mr. Bowers said that City staff has verified that the contracts are <br /> 1 egit imate. <br /> CB 4334--An ordinance concerning taxes and user fees in the <br />e Downtown Development District; amending Sections <br /> 3.700, 3.715, 3.743, and 3.746 of the Eugene Code, <br /> 1971; and declaring an emergency. <br /> Ms. Bascom said that she would prefer to leave the Gross Receipts Tax in the <br /> ordinance. <br /> By consensus, the council directed staff to modify the ordinance to repeal <br /> the Gross Receipts Tax and bring the ordinance back before the council for <br /> final approval. <br /> The meeting adjourned at 8:20 p.m. <br /> Resp~~~ <br /> /~ .' .i2 <br /> ~~.'::7? <br /> Mi chea rGl eason ~ '.#' J.\~. <br /> City Manager <br /> (Recorded by Traci Northman) <br /> mncc 101491-730 <br />e MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 14, 1991 Page 6 <br />
