Mr. Taylor agreed with Mr. Pryor and Ms. Ortiz that the urban renewal district should be discussed separately. He <br />said it was time to take action instead of just discussing a vision for downtown. <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor said actions should be incremental, organic and local and do no harm. She said those things worth <br />keeping should be nurtured. <br /> <br />Ms. Piercy remarked that the many conversations about downtown were moving the City toward action. <br /> <br />Ms. Ortiz affirmed that ongoing discussions about downtown were important until actions were taken. She said <br />revitalization of downtown was an important task. <br /> <br />Mr. Pryor hoped that current and future conversations about downtown would be more collaborative and productive <br />as some prior discussions had been divisive. <br /> <br />Mr. Brown said he did not understand the purpose of the process, other than to create some type of document, <br />followed by a discussion of tools to implement strategies. He said one of the tools was the downtown urban renewal <br />district and that was where the conversation was leading. He said the council should “cut to the chase” and begin <br />discussing specific projects and plans. <br /> <br />Mr. Ruiz summarized that the council wanted to define what it wanted to accomplish downtown, and then determine <br />how that should be accomplished, including use of the urban renewal district. He noted that the council had acted to <br />pursue several redevelopment projects and address public safety and parking issues at the same time it was refining <br />the vision for downtown. <br /> <br />Mr. Zelenka said it was important to move through the visioning phase as quickly as possible and develop a specific <br />list of activities and estimated costs so the council could begin to discuss how to pay for those. <br /> <br />The meeting adjourned at 7:10 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Jon Ruiz <br />City Manager <br /> <br />(Recorded by Lynn Taylor) <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council August 10, 2009 Page 5 <br /> Work Session <br />
