<br />In response to a follow-up question from Mr. Papé, Ms. Bohman affirmed that the slogan had been <br />trademarked. <br /> <br />Mr. Papé asked if local entities had talked with other cities about partnerships in artistic endeavors such as a <br />ballet company, as an example. Ms. Bohman replied that they had not done so through this effort. Mr. <br />Papé observed that some of the local companies had difficulty sustaining themselves. <br /> <br />Ms. Niles pointed out that the Eugene Ballet Company had partnered with Ballet Idaho since 1994. She said <br />this developed as a result of the company’s own planning strategy and not as a result of anything the City <br />had done in partnership with the company. She felt that coming together in the CPR meetings “linked <br />people up to start talking strategically” about the future. She said there had been a lot of discussion among <br />local arts groups about securing resources and sharing them. She stated that the Eugene Ballet now had its <br />own building and shared it with five other arts organizations. <br /> <br />Mr. Papé thanked Mr. Kelly for his participation in the CPR process. He also thanked Ms. Jones for <br />“winning the event on the front cover of the Chamber magazine.” <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor said that while the council talked about marketing the Eugene outdoors, there was land in south <br />Eugene that was being destroyed. She opined that City staff should “be in the business of protecting rather <br />than helping developers destroy.” <br /> <br />The meeting adjourned at 1:32 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Dennis M. Taylor <br />City Manager <br /> <br />(Recorded by Ruth Atcherson) <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council November 8, 2006 Page 11 <br /> Work Session <br />
