Councilor Bettman thanked everyone for their thoughtful testimony. She echoed Councilor Kelly's <br />comments and suggested to the City Manager that a press release concerning Whole Foods be released. She <br />thought many people did not understand the disposition of the Whole Foods issue. She felt providing a Pike <br />Place-type structure for the Farmers Market was an excellent idea. She suggested that when looking at the <br />next round of infrastructure improvements for the park blocks, this idea should be investigated. <br /> <br />Councilor Taylor called it a "delight" to hear the people of Eugene speak. She said that while it was true <br />that with current laws Whole Foods could not be stopped from coming to Eugene, nothing should be done to <br />help such an entity move into the city. She believed there were enough good food businesses in Eugene <br />already. She also supported building a Pike Place-type market for the Farmers Market. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy appreciated the comments on the SBI. She invited everyone to participate in the conversation <br />as fully as they wished. <br /> <br />Councilor Kelly announced that the first meeting of the SBI task force would be held at 1:30 p.m. on June <br />28 in the McNutt Room. <br /> <br />2.
