helpful to see an analysis of the entire downtown that identified what was working well, what could be <br />improved and the extent of any problems. She said the current focus was on a small portion of downtown <br />and the discussion should consider the larger context of downtown. <br /> <br />City Manager Taylor said he was working with the mayor and staff to address the other elements of Mr. <br />Zelenka's request. He said the council would have an opportunity on April 25 to focus on a document that <br />described the financial tools that were available for development as well as review the details of proposals. <br />He said information on various timelines issues, such as expiration of options, would also be provided. He <br />said meetings were also scheduled for May 9 and May 14 to discuss process details and make decisions <br />about how to proceed. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman asked if staff would request action or seek direction at the April 25 meeting. City Manager <br />Taylor replied that the council could choose to select a qualified proposal and the timeline information would <br />help inform the council about when actions needed to occur. He had not yet seen proposal details and did <br />not know if he would be making a specific recommendation. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman felt that taking action on April 25 would be premature and not allow for adequate public <br />involvement. <br /> <br />City Manager Taylor reiterated that timeline information would help the council determine what actions <br />were required at points in the process. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy adjourned the meeting at 8:10 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Dennis M. Taylor <br />City Manager <br /> <br />(Recorded by Lynn Taylor) <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council April 16, 2007 Page 8 <br /> Workshop <br />
