How does the concept create <br />entrances and how do they relate to the surrounding streets and larger context of the site? <br />Are the sites equal for optimizing sustainable design? Mr. Hacker ended by presenting <br />three concepts for each of the two sites, with the variable of police patrol included or <br />separate. <br /> <br />Following the presentation, participants worked in small groups to discuss the questions: <br /> <br />1. What will make the new city hall resonate with Eugene now and into the future? <br /> <br />2. What would draw Eugene's communities to our new city hall? <br />Participants recorded their answers on paper and those notes are included verbatim in this <br />report. <br /> <br />An hour long full group discussion followed so that participants could hear each other's <br />ideas, hopes and concerns. <br /> <br />The Forum organizers and presenters included: <br />Jonah Cohen, Thomas Hacker Architects Inc.

The forum participants <br />showed some clear preferences: <br />1) Would like to see the new city hall complex on the Butterfly LotJRock N Rodeo site <br /> <br />2) Liked Option 6 the best; Option 5 next <br /> <br />3) Strongly do not want police patrol in the building <br />4) Would like to have the existing city hall remain for other use <br /> <br />Participants were asked "What would draw Eugene communities to our new city hall? <br />
