Mr. Kelly expressed concern about forwarding five or six scenarios to a public hearing and trying <br />to interpret the testimony and deduce trends from it. He questioned whether it might be useful to <br />reduce the number of scenarios, and asked Mr. Croteau for comment. Mr. Kelly suggested <br />boundary adjustments to the neighborhood associations north of the river might be in order in the <br />future. <br /> <br />Responding to Mr. Kelly's question, Mr. Croteau anticipated that people would focus on specific <br />aspects of the scenarios rather than on the individual scenarios themselves. He did not think <br />there was a need to reduce the number of scenarios prior to the public hearing. <br /> <br />Mayor Torrey indicated opposition to the motion. He said that people should be allowed to <br />comment on all the scenarios. He added that he thought there were three discernible <br />neighborhoods at minimum in the area north of the river with common interests: 1) the area north <br />of Beltline between I-5 and the Willamette River; 2) the area north of the Beltline and east of <br />Coburg Road, and 3) Harlow below the Beltline to the river. <br /> <br /> Ms. Bettman, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to substitute the motion with a <br /> motion adding an additional scenario that increased Ward 1 by directing it <br /> west as opposed to north, maintained the river crossing in Ward 4, and <br /> created contiguity for downtown and the surrounding urban core <br /> neighborhoods. <br /> <br /> The motion to substitute passed, 5:3; Ms. Nathanson, Mr. Rayor, Mr. Fart <br /> voting no. <br /> <br /> The vote on the substitute motion was a 4:4 tie; Mr. Pap~, Mr. Rayor, Ms. <br /> Nathanson, and Mr. Fart voting no, Ms. Bettman, Ms. Taylor, Mr. Kelly, and <br /> Mr. Meisner voting yes; Mayor Torrey cast a vote in opposition to the motion, <br /> and the final vote was 5:4 in opposition. <br /> <br /> Ms. Taylor, seconded by Ms. Bettman, moved to develop another scenario <br /> that moved Ward 1 to the west. <br /> <br />Mr. Rayor opposed the motion because it involved his ward, and because he had difficulty with <br />such nonspecific motions. He thought the input should have been provided to staff earlier. <br />Mr. Kelly disagreed with Mr. Rayor, saying that the option would give the public a different <br />scenario to consider in terms of the ward boundaries. He thought it was not a good thing to be <br />too specific in the motion about the boundaries given the council's lack of knowledge about the <br />populations involved, etc. <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor said the council was just adding other scenario. <br /> <br /> The motion failed, 5:3; Ms. Taylor, Ms. Bettman, and Mr. Kelly voting yes. <br /> <br /> Mr. Fart, seconded by Mr. Pap~, moved to instruct staff to bring back a <br /> scenario that reduces the number of wards to six and established two at- <br /> large positions. <br /> <br />Mr. Rayor did not support the motion, again because of lack of adequate information. <br /> <br /> MINUTE--Eugene City Council September 10, 2001 Page 8 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br /> <br />
