Ms. Taylor worried that using the word “pursue” in the previously stated motion might allow staff to <br />proceed with amendments to the urban renewal plan without prior Council approval. <br />Ms. Cutsogeorge, responding to a comment from Ms. Taylor, noted that any remaining monies from the <br />urban renewal tax proceeds would be returned to the taxing districts. <br />Ms. Taylor reiterated her opposition to both the urban renewal district and the motion that was currently <br />under discussion. <br />Mr. Clark appreciated the thoughtful discussion from the Council regarding the manner in which the City <br />would seek to encourage local economic development and hoped that future discussions would address how <br />the City might help remove any barriers regarding the same. <br />Mr. Brown reiterated his opposition to the urban renewal district. <br />Mr. Zelenka called for a vote on Mr. Clark’s previously stated motion. The <br />motion passed 6:2 (Mr. Brown and Ms. Taylor voting in opposition.) <br />Mr. Zelenka adjourned the work session meeting at 1:09 p.m. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Jon Ruiz <br />City Manager <br /> <br />(Recorded by Wade Hicks) <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council May 27, 2009 Page 7 <br /> Work Session <br />
