took would serve as direction to the area's federal representatives. He believed the support shown for moving <br />the courthouse would result in the loss of the courthouse if there was no other solution. <br /> <br /> Mr. Meisner moved, seconded by Ms. Nathanson, that the City Council supports the <br /> development of a needed new federal courthouse in downtown Eugene. Because the <br /> Fifth Street site presents significant challenges of scale, compatibility, and <br /> neighborhood impact, the council urges GSA to give serious renewed consideration to <br /> the City Hall site as a potentially better alternative for a new federal courthouse. <br /> Second, to authorize and appoint a council committee composed of councilors Kelly, <br /> Nathanson, Pap~, and Rayor to report to the council on the following: recommend a <br /> plan for developing options to relocate functions currently in City Hall if the current <br /> City Hall site is chosen. The committee should consider the following: 1) <br /> consolidation and relocation of services and activities; 2) use or disposal by sale or <br /> otherwise of other City-owned facilities; 3) new construction or remodeling; 4) timing <br /> and sequence including vacating spaces and providing for temporary spaces; and 5) <br /> cost and funding. The committee shall report to the council by November 1, 1999. <br /> <br />Ms. Nathanson noted her support for the motion for the reasons she had already stated. <br /> <br />Mr. Kelly asked if there had been any further communication between GSA and the City since the previous <br />day. Mr. Bowers indicated that City staff had informed GSA of the upcoming council discussion. Mr. <br />Meisner said that he had received a telephone call from Judge Michael Hogan about his concerns that the <br />courthouse project proceeded in a downtown location. <br /> <br />Mr. Pap~ liked the motion. He said that the federal government could move the site and wanted the motion to <br />include some mention that the council endorsed and was pleased that the GSA was considering a courthouse in <br />downtown Eugene. Mr. Meisner and Ms. Nathanson agreed to incorporate the concept in the motion. <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor wanted to split the motion into two parts because she did not support the formation of the <br />committee. <br /> <br /> Ms. Taylor moved, seconded by Mr. Rayor, to split the motion. The motion failed, <br /> 3:4; Ms. Taylor, Mr. Kelly, and Mr. Rayor voting yes. <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor said it was a mystery to her why anyone would object to allowing the council to vote on the <br />elements of the motion they liked. <br /> <br />Mr. Meisner suggested the addition of the following text, so the motion read (italicized print added): <br /> <br /> Mr. Meisner moved, seconded by Ms. Nathanson, that the City Council supports the <br /> development ora needed new federal courthouse in downtown Eugene. Because the <br /> Fifth Street site presents significant challenges of scale, compatibility, and <br /> neighborhood impact, the council urges GSA to give serious renewed consideration to <br /> the City Hall site as a potentially better alternative for a new federal courthouse. <br /> Second, to authorize and appoint a council committee composed of councilors Kelly, <br /> <br /> MINUTES--Eugene City Council September 22, 1999 Page 5 <br /> 5:30 p.m. <br /> <br /> <br />
