integrity as a public official by considering alternatives without asking voters if they wished to reverse their <br />2001 decision. <br /> <br />Mr. Pryor said the vagaries of the situation made it very difficult and there was a lack of clarity about what <br />to do next and which process would move stakeholders forward expeditiously. He agreed with Mr. Papé <br />that it was no longer certain what the public wanted, but his opinion was that the 2001 vote should stand <br />until the voters told the council differently. He said public policy decisions were being made on what the <br />council thought the public wanted and there should be better definition. He was considering supporting Ms. <br />Bettman’s motion as it was limited and could move the process to a more productive point. He asked why a <br />work session had been scheduled on the issue. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy stated that she had requested a work session in order to provide the council with an update on <br />the process. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy called for a second round of questions and comments on the motion. <br /> <br />Mr. Kelly said the assessment called for in Ms. Bettman’s motion would provide an assemblage of facts that <br />could help clarify the situation and was a short-term effort. He said if the WEP alternatives vote in 2001 <br />was considered, the vote on the WEP should also be considered as the project that was voted on was <br />significantly different than its current conception. Regarding Mr. Papé’s question about whether the council <br />was prepared to abide by the collaborative process, he said that was tantamount to agreeing to support a <br />certain outcome in a land use decision before the hearing was held. He said when that question was raised at <br />the MPC meeting other members had similar concerns. <br /> <br />City Manager Taylor remarked that considerable progress had been made in carrying out the council’s <br />direction in October 2005 to consult with partners and community organizations and scope out a plan. He <br />was gratified by the connection with FHWA and over the course of months as the process was explained, <br />progress had been made to engage the key stakeholders in a fundamental first step. He said the City’s <br />support of time sensitive MTIP projects demonstrated its willingness to work with partners and he was <br />hopeful that all of those small steps would lead to a more informed discussion in the future. He hoped that <br />Ms. Bettman’s motion included the spirit of the motion and the direction given to him by the council on <br />October 26, 2005. <br /> <br />The motion passed, 5:2; Ms. Solomon and Mr. Papé voting in opposition. <br /> <br />The meeting was adjourned at 7:20 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Dennis M. Taylor <br />City Manager <br /> <br />(Recorded by Lynn Taylor) <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council January 23, 2006 Page 11 <br /> Work Session <br />
