C. EXECUTIVE SESSION: The Executive Session was held pursuant to ORS 192.660(2)(e) Prior to beginning of the Executive Session, Mr. Klein briefly reviewed the Overview of Eugene Code Provisions on Disposition of Rea! Property. Copies were provided to all those present. He stated that the four different processes the City could dispose of a piece of real property were, as follows: 1) The City manager could either use a public notice that the City intended to sell a property or pro- posals could be solicited for the property; 2) The City Manager could declare a property "surplus" and the council would receive notice of it and could object or not; 3) The City Council could initiate the disposal of real property with or without public notice if it was to another governmental body; 4) When the manager had a proposal that was acceptable in his or her mind then he or she could present it to the City Council for approval. In response to a question from Mr. Kelly, Mr. Klein stated that the Urban Renewal Agency was another government agency but it would have to go through the same public process the council was required to go through to purchase property. Mayor Piercy adjourned the City Council work session at 1:10 p.m. The council then entered into an executive session. Mayor Piercy reconvened the meeting of the City Council following the executive session. Mr. Poling, seconded by Ms. Solomon, moved to direct the City Manager to discuss with interested parties ideas that would facilitate the development of a Whole Foods Market, music school, and parking structure, all in the downtown area near City Hall. The motion passed unanimously. Respectfully submitted, Dennis M. Taylor City Manager (Recorded by Ruth Atcherson) MINUTES--Eugene City Council April 20, 2005 Page 7 Work Session
