an opportunity to purchase the site, which was "in play." He noted that several portions of the property <br />were identified by staff as a natural resource priority. <br /> <br /> The motion passed, 4:3; Mr. Pap6, Mr. Poling, and Mr. Pryor voting no (Ms. Solomon did <br /> not participate in the vote because she had not yet arrived). <br /> <br />Mr. Kelly reported that a public safety task force which included representatives of the County, Eugene <br />and Springfield, and all other incorporated cities in Lane County was meeting to discuss everyone's <br />perceptions of the County's public safety needs, identify shortcomings, and work on a strategy to <br />overcome those shortcomings with the goal of developing a ballot measure. Two meetings had been held <br />to this point to share background and discuss the various jurisdictions' public safety needs. A total of six <br />meetings were anticipated; the next was scheduled for July 28 at the John Serbu Center. <br /> <br />Mr. Pap6 noted Eugene's recent mention as a wonderful fishery in an article in Northwest Fly Fishers <br />magazine because of the local steelhead run. He said he could verify the facts in the article because he <br />recently caught a 12-1/2 pound steelhead. <br /> <br />Ms. Ortiz indicated she was working on a report to the council regarding her recent visit to Puerto Rico. <br /> <br />Ms. Ortiz reported that she had attended a McKenzie Watershed tour and had found it interesting and eye- <br />opening to learn about projects in the watershed. <br /> <br />Ms. Ortiz said she went to the River Road community organization to discuss the proposed River Avenue <br />project. She said that the community needed options from which to choose, such as the project Mr. Poling <br />discussed. She did not think anyone would be happy with the ultimate solution given that taxation was <br />involved, but it appeared from her observations that the improvements were needed. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman asked Mr. Kelly to let the council know when the working group meeting to discuss public <br />safety had identified a funding amount. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman said she was contacted by a constituent who objected to the fact that access north of the <br />tracks had been cut off. The constituent maintained the access had been in place for more than 100 years <br />and it was one of the few access points in the area. She requested a memorandum with more information. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman spoke of large sites in the city, such as school and stadium sites, that were in transition. <br />Rather than wait for a proposal to be made on those sites, she suggested the City be proactive about <br />identifying the highest and best use for those sites so it could consider what she thought was in the best <br />interest of the city, which was more housing. <br /> <br />Mr. Pryor discussed the Forest Service tour he and Ms. Ortiz attended, which had started at H. J. Andrews <br />Experimental Forest. He said the tour was very interesting with regard to what happened in the forest, and <br />those conducting the tour had a lot of pride and passion for the work they did. <br /> <br />Mr. Pryor noted that he and Ms. Ortiz also attended the Human Services Commission meeting earlier that <br />day for a post-budget review. He said that contrary to some reports, funding for several agencies, such as <br />Whitebird Clinic, had been maintained. <br /> <br />MINUTES--Eugene City Council July 18, 2005 Page 3 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br /> <br />
