Ms. Bettman, seconded by Ms. Ortiz, moved to include in the Capital Improvement Program a <br />project to convert the Washington Park wading pool to a spray pool. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman explained that this was in response to public testimony on the CIP. She said many of the park <br />improvements at Washington Park had been done by volunteers. She felt the empty wading pools, which <br />were currently somewhat neglected, were an attractive nuisance. She underscored that the park was well- <br />used. <br /> <br />City Manager Taylor said staff did not recommend including this project at this time. He noted that staff <br />comments had been sent out on this proposal. <br /> <br />Ms. Solomon expressed concern regarding the amendment given that it had been discussed at the Budget <br />Committee and had not gained traction there. She related that a small number of people had testified about <br />it, but it had not been through a larger process at the neighborhood or community level. <br /> <br />The vote on the amendment was a tie, 4:4; Mr. Zelenka, Ms. Ortiz, Ms. Bettman, and Ms. Tay- <br />lor voting in favor and Mr. Poling, Mr. Pryor, Mr. Clark, and Ms. Solomon voting in opposi- <br />tion. Mayor Piercy voted in opposition of the amendment and the amendment failed. <br /> <br />Mr. Zelenka, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to reduce the scope of the Dillard Road project <br />from its current description to a project development project in the amount of $420,000. <br /> <br />City Manager Taylor indicated that Public Works staff was amenable to the amendment as proposed. <br /> <br />The amendment passed unanimously, 8:0. <br /> <br />The main motion, as amended, passed unanimously, 8:0. <br /> <br />The meeting adjourned at 7:18 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 /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council March 12, 2007 Page 11 <br /> Work Session <br />
