e Mayor Miller adjourned the council meeting and convened the meeting of the Urban Renewal Agency. II. ADOPTION OF FY93 URBAN RENEWAL AGENCY BUDGET Warren Wong, Administrative Services Director, referred to Attachment B of his memorandum of June 23 addressed to the City Council, which outlines four amendment options for the Urban Renewal Agency's FY93 Budget Adoption. He reviewed the options, saying Option 2 outlines a practice the City has used before. It allows for freezing all or certain projects until the Agency Board issues a release. Mr. Boles moved, seconded by Mr. Green, to adopt Option 2. The motion passed, 6:1; Mr. Nicholson opposed. Mr. Nicholson said the motion was inconsistent with commitments made as a part of the Eugene Decisions process, where the City Council agreed to put all available funding up for prioritization. Responding to a question from Ms. Ehrman, staff said that the council had previously identified theoretical allocation of some projects. Mayor Miller explained that the council is not authorizing the expenditure of these funds, the funds are being segregated for budgeting purposes and projects will have to compete with other projects for funding. e Res. 962--A resolution of the Urban Renewal Agency adopting the budget and making appropriations for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1992, and ending June 30, 1993. Mr. Boles moved, seconded by Mr. Green, to adopt Resolution 962 as amended. The motion passed, 6:1; Mr. Nicholson op- posed.
