e Mr. Lindberg said he found the statement very effective, and praised the members of the Economic Development Committee for their work. He said Philip Klutznick, former United State Secretary of Commerce, had suggested that the City should be working to develop the economic development potential of the University of Oregon. Mr. Lindberg noted that research-type development was one type of use mentioned in the Special Light Industrial Sites document. He hoped that efforts could be made to attract University-related research projects to these sites. Ms. Smith referred to the last paragraph on page 3 of the guidelines, which indicated that "representatives of the community" would be available to discuss location within the community with firms meeting the criteria set out in the guidelines. She asked who these representatives might be. Mr. Farah said that there are at least two formal structures which can be used to provide "repre- sentat ives of the communityll--the Eugene Chamber of Commerce and the City Manager's Office. Mr. Farah added that in addition to these there are other less formal structures. e Ms. Smith felt that in the past it had not been clear what structure was avail- able for firms seeking information about the area. There is a need to establish a firmer definition and structure. Mr. Gleason responded that he has discussed this issue with several people in the community. He felt that there is a fine line for City staff between becoming real estate advocates and remaining as representatives of the public in dealing with a major development. He said that the arrangement which had been worked out with the Chamber of Commerce was that if a major siting was involving in location of a new firm in the area, the City Manager's Office and Mr. Gleason himself would assist in clarifying the issues and simplifying the processes necessary. He said that the mechanics of this arrangement had not been worked out, but he assumed that from the nature of the agreement, it would need to be fairly flexible. Ms. Schue said that she was delighted to see the Economic Development Committee take this concrete step. She had recently attended a forum on the subject of economic development at the University of Oregon and had repeatedly been told that Eugene is perceived as being anti-business and anti-growth. She was therefore pleased to have this concrete evidence that Eugene really is interested in economic development. Role call vote. Motion carried unanimously. D. Supplemental Budget Mr. Gleason said that the supplemental budget request had been reviewed by the Budget Committee. The purpose of the ordinance was to clarify all the previous budget appropriations, so that they match the beginning cash balances of the next fiscal year. He indicated that staff was present to answer any questions. Mayor Miller opened the public hearing. There being no testimony presented, the public hearing was closed. - MINUTES--Eugene City Council May 20, 1981 Page 9
