Councilor Brown thanked everyone for coming down. He observed that though the topic of the EmX corridor kept <br />thth <br />coming up, no stakeholders from the 6/7 Avenue areas came. He did not think there was a very good representa- <br />tion on the stakeholder group for the West Eugene corridor. He was concerned that outreach was not being <br />conducted in an indepth way in advance of the public hearing process. He thought the complaints were valid and <br />needed to be addressed. He felt that if people were shut out, it would make the determination of which corridor to <br />develop more difficult. <br /> <br />2. CONSENT CALENDAR <br /> <br />A.

Approval to Tentative Working Agenda <br /> C. Adoption of Resolution 4986 Renaming the “Autzen Footbridge” as the “Dave and Lynn Frohn- <br />mayer Pedestrian and Bicycle Bridge” <br /> <br />Councilor Clark, seconded by Councilor Taylor, moved to approve the Consent Calendar. <br /> <br />Councilor Brown pulled Items A and C. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy pointed out that it would not be necessary to pull Item A in its entirety to make a correction to the <br />minutes. Councilor Brown left Item A in the Consent Calendar. <br /> <br />Councilor Ortiz wanted to pull the minutes from the Council Meeting held on August 10. She asked that the minutes <br />recorder review her comments reflected in the last paragraph on page 3 in order to clarify her intent. <br /> <br />Councilor Brown offered the following correction to the Work Session held on May 11: <br />? <br /> Page 8, paragraph 11, last sentence: “If the funding was used as proposed, nothing was left in the Facility <br />Reserve for seismic upgrades for two fire stations, the airport fire station main terminal building, or any <br />other first responder site.” <br /> <br />Roll call vote; the motion to approve the Consent Calendar with the exception of the minutes from <br />August 10 and Item C, and with the aforementioned amendment to the minutes of the Work Session <br />held on May 11, passed unanimously, 7:0. <br /> <br />Councilor Brown stated that he meant no disrespect to the Frohnmayers. He said he was “old school” regarding the <br />naming of structures and he thought it was too soon after the Frohnmayer’s departure.
