Councilor Meisner expressed two concerns: the first was the board's continued insistence the facility must close, and the second was the lack of a long-range business plan. In addition, the motion does not say the property was to be returned unencumbered. He asked the manager to request a business plan and ensure the City's resources were protected. City Manager Johnson noted that WISTEC had begun to develop a business plan. He referred the council to the memorandum in the meeting packet, which identified the issues which must be resolved before the staff returned to the council for approval. Councilor Pap~ said he was happy to support the motion. Councilor Rayor asked if it was possible as part of the effort that the City provide a bridge loan based on the University's commitment, or if the organization should pursue that funding privately. City Manager Johnson said that the City did not usually lend money to nonprofit organizations. Mr. Klein said that could occur, but it would have to be structured carefully and it would require the University of Oregon's concurrence. Councilor Rayor said he would be happy to have the manager consider that option. Roll call vote; the motion passed unanimously, 8:0. The council took a brief break, and reconvened in the McNutt Room for the next item. 10.ACTION: An Ordinance Concerning Land Use Regulations; Repealing Sections 2.027, 7.595, 7.600, 7.605, 7.610, and 9.015 Through 9.1195 of the Eugene Code, 1971; Adding Sections 9.0010 Through 9.9710 to that Code; Repealing Ordinances Nos. 18081, 18974, 19402, 17778, 19975, 19470, 19329, 19401, and 19979; Affirming Site-Specific Historic Ordinances; Providing an Effective Date; and Declaring an Emergency And An Ordinance Concerning Tree Removal and Replacement; Amending Sections 6.300, 6.305, 6.320, 6.325, 6.330, and 6.990 of the Eugene Code, 1971; Amending and Renumbering Sections 6.310 of that Code to 6.315; and Adding New Sections 6.302, 6.304, 6.310, and 6.335 to that Code The council was joined by Planning and Development Department Director Paul Farmer, Planning Director Jan Childs, Senior Planner Teresa Bishow, and Glenn Klein and Emily Jerome of the City Attorney's Office.
