Councilor Clark noted that he had Councilor Poling on the telephone. He said he favored the original motion because <br />he thought an expedited process made more sense. <br /> <br />Councilor Zelenka restated the motion for the benefit of Councilor Poling. <br /> <br />The vote on the motion was a 4:4 tie; councilors Taylor, Bettman, Ortiz, and Zelenka voting yes; <br />councilors Solomon, Poling, Clark, and Pryor voting no. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy thought that councilors and neighbors had unanswered questions and no opportunity to review <br />conditions. She also thought the council had time to act without getting in the way of the UO and could take final <br />action with a broad council majority. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy cast a vote in support of the amendment and it passed on a final vote of 5:4. <br /> <br />Ms. Jerome cautioned the council and mayor present against ex parte contacts. <br /> <br />Councilor Bettman clarified with Mr. Ochs that the record was on the City’s website and clarified the timelines for <br />testimony with Ms. Jerome. <br /> <br />Responding to a question from Councilor Zelenka, Ms. Jerome indicated she would provide him with information <br />about the use of the emergency clause prior to the time the council took action. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy called for a vote on the amended motion. <br /> <br />The amended motion passed 5:3; Councilor Solomon, Councilor Poling, and Mr. Clark <br /> voting no. <br /> <br />The meeting adjourned at 11:10 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Jon Ruiz <br />City Manager <br /> <br />(Recorded by Kimberly Young) <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council July 21, 2008 Page 17 <br /> Public Hearing <br />
