<br />to higher standards. He reviewed some consolidation models that could be considered. <br /> <br />City Manager's Office employee Jan Bohman was photographing the process in order to document it. My. <br />Kelly objected to this, stating that he "had a problem with City staff spending energy on taking pictures." <br />No further pictures were taken. <br /> <br />Mr Hardy stated that the next step would be to gain public input and identify the police service delivery <br />model that the community wanted to utilize. <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor asked if the new substations had to meet the higher seismic standards. Mr. Hardy replied that <br />anything new had to be built to those standards. Ms. Ortiz thought there was a ditTerence between a <br />precinct and a substation and that substations did not have to meet the higher standard. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman felt that before the next steps could be looked into, the City needed to consider what it could <br />atTord. She did not believe that the consolidation issue was germane to the discu..<;sioll of the building <br />Issue. <br /> <br />Mr. Kelly expressed appreciation for the models the council had been presented with. He did not believe <br />he had sufficient material on which to base a decision at this point, however. <br /> <br />Mr. Pape commented that he was uncertain as to what the cart was and what the horse was. He asked if <br />the police chief was ready to get out in front of this. <br /> <br />Police Chief Bob Lehner responded that there were more models to consider, one of which would locate <br />police administration in City Hall and then deliver services from two precincts. He averred that the more <br />patrols were housed in neighborhoods, the closer the City was to having a precinct model for policing. He <br />stated that this was the most expensive model for policing. He pointed out, though, that the second most <br />expensive model was to have all of the services in one location downtown. He added that locating <br />everything together would also cost the most per square foot. He asked how much money the community <br />would want to spend. He stressed that the discussion was primarily a financial one. He stated that the <br />current model, one with a downtown station and public safety stations, was likely the most fiscally <br />prudent. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy asked if the precinct models were required to be built to seismic standards. ChiefLelmer <br />responded that when speaking of a precinct, it was understood to be a place from which patrol cars were <br />deployed. Because of this, the precincts would have to meet the higher seismic standards. He guessed that <br />the Records Division, as an example, would not be required to be housed in a structure built to the higher <br />standards. <br /> <br />Ms. Cooper caUed this conflict a perfect example of some of the quandaries that would have to be <br />addressed. She underscored that the public wants a high level of service and at the same time people want <br />government to be financially conservative. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman asked how it had been detennined that keeping the EPD in the downtown area would be the <br />most expensive model. She commented that having two precincts might be a good idea, but she wanted <br />the one 011 the south side of the river to be c01mected to City Hall. She wanted the police to be housed in <br />the same area as the elected officials. <br /> <br />Mr. Hardy responded that the space needs study would provide the council with different scenarios. <br /> <br />MINUTES-Eugene City Council <br />Workshop <br /> <br />October 19,2005 <br /> <br />Page 5 <br />
