Ms. Nathanson supported it, and hoped the council would support similar resolutions in the <br />future. <br /> <br />Mr. Papd questioned how Finding C was an incentive for the hospital. Mr. Kelly cited the City's <br />former Business Assistance Team as an example of a type of facilitator that could assist the <br />hospitals. He thought the finding provided an equivalent sort of function. Mr. Kelly said that the <br />facilitator could be a dedicated City staff or could be a contractor who was completely focused on <br />the task. <br /> <br />Mr. Papd indicated he could support the resolution because of the change proposed by Mr. <br />Meisner related to the list of incentives. <br /> <br />Speaking to Mr. Papd's concerns regarding a facilitator, Ms. Bettman recalled that the City had <br />subcontracted with its former City Manager Jim Johnson to work on hospital issues, and said she <br />believed that there were knowledgeable experts in the community that the City could call upon. <br />She noted that the proposal for a facilitator had come from her conversations with Jack Roberts. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman suggested that an incentive for a centrally located hospital could be an urban <br />renewal district. That was not included on the list, but she had not intended the list to be <br />exclusive. <br /> <br />Mr. Poling questioned limiting the areas to which incentives could be applied. He thought that <br />the technological advances realized by improvements to the Ferry Street Corridor and the 1-5 <br />bridges alleviated the need to have a hospital south and west of the river. <br /> <br /> Mr. Poling moved to amend the resolution by dropping the text <br /> in Section 2 that read "south and west of the Willamette River." <br /> <br />The motion died for lack of a second. <br /> <br />Mr. Meisner called for a unanimous vote on the main motion. He believed adoption of Mr. <br />Poling's amendment would have resulted in a divided vote. <br /> <br />Ms. Nathanson agreed with Mr. Meisner about the desirability of a unanimous vote. She called <br />on the council to adopt the needed Zoning Code amendments. She feared that in the absence of <br />those amendments, the council could send a signal that turned out to be a hollow gesture. <br /> <br />Mayor Torrey said that he had concerns about the resolution because he feared that it would <br />preclude one of the providers from receiving some of the incentives listed. He asked that the <br />definitions be modified to include an acute care in-patient facility if possible. <br /> <br />Speaking to the potential of waiving fees and SDCs, Mayor Torrey pointed out that the City had <br />limited dollars for new capital expenditures, and waiving fees limited those dollars still further. <br />He said that any incentives cost the City money; such incentives were not free and were <br />accompanied by a price tag. <br /> <br /> Ms. Bettman, seconded by Mr. Kelly, moved to extend time for <br /> the item by ten minutes. The motion passed unanimously, 8:0. <br /> <br />MINUTES--Eugene City Council September 24, 2003 Page 9 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br /> <br />
