Councilor Kelly thanked everyone for their testimony. He wished to thank the representatives from Sponsors and from the Pacific Housing Advisors for coming to speak about their projects. He applauded the work of Sponsors. He also reiterated his support for any additional low-income housing project. Councilor Kelly wished the people who sought to find a location and funding for the Slavic Home the best of luck. He said they were dreaming big and he appreciated their efforts. He did not think the City Council could provide a recommendation for non-profit status. Rather, he thought it was a matter of establishing a board and meeting the requirements set forth by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Councilor Papé concurred with comments made to the proponents of the Slavic Home. He thought United Way could be a good resource for them regarding the 501(c)(3) process. He noted that there was a manual, updated annually, that listed all foundations, both public and private, and he was relatively certain it was in the Eugene Public Library. Councilor Taylor echoed comments made about the testimony from the Slavic Home representatives. Councilor Taylor agreed with Mr. Handy’s comments regarding the need for standards for infill. She felt they were desperately needed, alleging such development was “happening all the time with no reasonable standards.” Councilor Taylor agreed with Ms. Duemler’s assertion that the council was acting on the enterprise zone during the summer when people were on vacation and also was taking on large issues “without any public involvement.” 2.
