<br />Councilor Kelly asked that staff let him know what the public process would be for the second round of land <br />use code amendments as constituents had been asking him this. He agreed with Councilor Bettman’s <br />suggestion to bundle amendments in smaller amounts. He thought the amendments should be bundled by <br />category. <br /> <br />Councilor Taylor agreed with Councilor Bettman’s assertion that having over 80 minor code amendments <br />was too much. She also thought the amendments should be submitted in smaller amounts. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy said she was impressed by how staff walked the council through some of the amendments. <br /> <br />Roll call vote; the main motion as amended passed, 7:1; Councilor Bettman voting in <br />opposition. <br /> <br /> <br />4. ACTION: <br /> <br />th <br />An Ordinance Vacating a Portion of the Alley Right-of-Way Located Between 10 Avenue and <br /> <br /> Broadway, Parallel to Olive and Charnelton Streets; Providing for and Effective Date; and <br /> Providing for a Sunset Date <br /> <br />Councilor Poling, seconded by Councilor Solomon, moved that the City Council adopt <br />th <br />Council Bill 4911, an ordinance concerning alley vacation between 10 Avenue and <br />Broadway. <br /> <br />City Attorney Klein noted that Attachment C on page 341 of the council packet contained an improved <br />version of the ordinance that indicated the alley vacation would not go through should the Oregon Research <br />Institute (ORI) deal not go through. He asked that Councilor Poling specify which version of the ordinance <br />the council would consider adopting. <br /> <br />Councilor Poling specified that he moved Ordinance B, from page 341 of the council <br />packet. <br /> <br />City Manager Taylor said this issue was a matter of some urgency as the financing for the ORI was <br />conditioned on new market tax credits that would expire at the end of 2005. He urged the council to adopt <br />the improved version of the ordinance and underscored its specificity to the ORI deal. <br /> <br />Councilor Bettman supported the motion. <br /> <br />Roll call vote; the motion passed unanimously, 8:0. <br /> <br /> <br />5. ACTION: <br /> <br />Land Transfer to Bureau of Land Management (Environmental Education Center) <br /> <br /> <br />City Manager Taylor asked Sarah Medary, Natural Resources Manager for the Parks and Open Spaces <br />Division of the Public Works Department, to speak to issues that had been raised. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council November 28, 2005 Page 9 <br /> Regular Session <br /> <br />
