Ms. Piercy recognized that Mr. Ruiz had addressed certain open space acquisition issues immediately upon <br />assuming his duties as City Manager and had been very proactive with respect to matters related to the <br />EPD and the City's police auditor hiring process. <br />Ms. Piercy asked Mr. Ruiz to set another set of goals for himself as the City Manager over the next year <br />and further requested that he communicate those goals to the council. <br />Ms. Piercy recognized Mr. Ruiz's recommendation that the compensation discussion regarding his position <br />be waived for the current year. <br />Mr. Zelenka, seconded by Mr. Clark, moved to accept the City Manager's rec- <br />ommendation and waive the compensation discussion this year. <br />Ms. Piercy, responding to a comment from Mr. Zelenka, noted that the goal- setting language and the date <br />certain regarding same as listed in the agenda item summary materials was not being included in the current <br />motion. <br />Ms. Piercy called for a vote on Mr. Zelenka's previously stated motion. The mo- <br />tion passed unanimously, 8:0. <br />B. WORK SESSION – Eugene Comprehensive Lands Assessment (ECLA) <br />Planning Director Lisa Gardner noted that the staff update to be presented regarding the ECLA process <br />would emphasize a review of residential lands in order to establish the full set of information needed to <br />determine the overall demand for land in the area. <br />Associate Planner Jason Dedrick presented information regarding the ECLA process which he noted helped <br />demonstrate and determine Eugene's need for residential, employment, and public /semi - public land over the <br />next 20 years. <br />Mr. Dedrick briefly reviewed the baseline assumptions of the ECLA process. <br />Mr. Dedrick reminded the council that the review of public /semi - public land needs data through the ECLA <br />process had been presented to them in April of 2009. <br />Mr. Dedrick commented that the figures demonstrating the employment redevelopment land need as <br />demonstrated in his presentation materials were based on the forecasts of other cities for their redevelop- <br />ment. He noted that this was primarily due to the City's lack of extensive data regarding the redevelopment <br />of lands for employment purposes. <br />Mr. Dedrick noted that the City's total employment land need for the next 20 years was approximately 900 <br />acres, but noted that number was likely to be adjusted based on reviews of special land needs and the <br />current available land supply. <br />Mr. Dedrick briefly described the various components of the City's residential redevelopment land needs <br />determined through the ECLA process including the estimates for population growth and housing density in <br />the area. <br />MINUTES— Eugene City Council July 22, 2009 Page 3 <br />Work Session <br />
