Ms. Piercy was pleased that a downtown LCC facility that included student housing would result in a <br />much larger number of people continuously living and working in downtown Eugene. <br />Mr. Clark strongly supported the LCC development project and felt that it would present a number of <br />opportunities for further downtown redevelopment and revitalization. He was also pleased to learn that <br />Robertson-Sherwood had been selected as the principal designer for the project. <br />Mr. Clark asked how the staff discussions with LCC regarding their development plans had corresponded <br />with the City's plans for a downtown police substation facility and other public safety improvement <br />strategies. Ms. Spilde responded that the preliminary development plans were expected to compliment a <br />variety of public safety improvement strategies including a new downtown police substation. <br />Mr. Clark asked if LCC representatives had had any preliminary conversations with representatives from <br />the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs about how LCC's development plans might correspond with the <br />potential development of a downtown Veterans Administration hospital facility. Ms. Spilde responded <br />that while LCC had not had any discussions with local representatives from the Veterans Administration <br />they had been in contact with representatives from the Veterans Administration in Roseburg regarding <br />certain programs that might be expanded concurrent to the development of LCC's new downtown <br />building. <br />Ms. Solomon asked for further information regarding LCC's plans for its current downtown building. Ms. <br />Spilde replied that LCC planned to vacate the current building once the new one had been completed and <br />that the LCC board was considering a number of potential disposal plans to be discussed with Eugene <br />City staff. <br />Ms. Spilde, responding to a question from Mr. Pryor, briefly described how student housing might be <br />implemented at the downtown LCC facility. She noted that LCC's plans to incorporate downtown student <br />housing corresponded to a number of significant demographic changes that LCC expected to face over the <br />next several years. <br />Mr. Pryor was very excited about the effect that increased downtown student residency would have on the <br />downtown area and believed that getting more people to live and work in the downtown area was <br />essential for the continued prosperity of the City. <br />Ms. Spilde, responding to a question from Mr. Pryor regarding the $27 million in funding required for the <br />LCC development project, noted that that figure was from an old estimate for the project and did not <br />account for a number of programs and services that had been subsequently planned for the facility. <br />Ms. Spilde, responding to a question from Ms. Ortiz, noted that property acquisition costs had not been <br />factored into the initial concept for the project since those initial plans had only called for a renovation of <br />the current downtown LCC facility. <br />Mr. Zelenka was particularly excited about the energy management and education aspects of the proposed <br />LCC development project. <br />Ms. Muir, responding to a question from Mr. Zelenka, noted that an additional RFP would not necessarily <br />have to be submitted in order for the LCC development project to proceed. City Attorney Glenn Klein <br />concurred with Ms. Muir’s statement. <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council January 25, 2010 Page 6 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br />
