ITEMS FROM MAYOR AND COUNCIL, APPOINTMENTS, ANNOUNCEMENTS, AGENDA <br />ADJUSTMENTS <br /> <br />A. Downtown/Performing Arts Center/Fifth Street District Shuttle <br /> <br />Mr. Lindberg stated that at the last City Council meeting, there was an exten- <br />sive discussion regarding the vacation of Willamette Street between 6th and <br />7th. A number of ideas have surfaced regarding promotion of the downtown <br />district and the success of that business area. One is the possibility of <br />implementing shuttle service between the mall, the Fifth Street District, and <br />the Performing Arts Center. He would like staff to review and bring back a <br />report on the options for implementing such a service and possible options for <br />funding this service. <br /> <br />B. Promotion of Downtown <br /> <br />Mr. Lindberg stated that there are a number of problems in the downtown area and <br />he feels they are due, in part, to an image problem. Staff could look at a <br />series of public service announcements or other activities to promote downtown <br />~development as downtown development is a high priority goal with the council. <br />He indicated that he would have to leave the meeting early today and asked if <br />the discussion on assessment policies could be held over~ Mr. Gleason stated <br />that it could either be held over or a brief staff report could be given with <br />individual briefings given to the councilors later if needed. The council <br />concurred that a brief staff report would be presented today. Ms. Miller <br />reiterated that she would like to see an additional report brought back at a <br />later time. Mr. Gleason indicated that this could be done. <br /> <br />MINUTES--Eugene City Council <br /> <br />June 10, 1981 <br /> <br />Page 1 <br />
