Mr. Zelenka briefly summarized his understanding of how the LCC’s development project would proceed <br />according to the language of the motion suggested by staff. He noted that a firm plan for the sale of the <br />subject property would be necessary for LCC to acquire funding for the property acquisition and <br />development of the project. <br />Ms. Muir responded to Mr. Zelenka’s comment and noted that LCC hoped to have the terms of the sale <br />finalized in April of 2010. Ms. Spilde noted that such a plan would allow adequate time for LCC to <br />locate an appropriate architectural firm for the design of the new facility. <br />Mr. Pryor recognized Mr. Brown’s concerns that the authority for the approval of LCC’s project <br />development plans might be nebulous if not worded carefully but agreed with Mr. Clark that the motion <br />only granted the Agency Director the authority to investigate and negotiate the terms of the property <br />acquisition. He noted that the authority for final approval of the property acquisition would remain with <br />the URA. <br />Ms. Spilde noted that the LCC Board had granted her the authority to negotiate with the City of Eugene to <br />th <br />acquire the subject property at 10 Avenue and Charnelton Street but added she would still be required to <br />return to the LCC board for final approval of the deal. <br />Mr. Brown stated that his concerns regarding the language of the motion were not in any way intended to <br />indicate his opposition to LCC’s downtown development project. <br />Ms. Piercy pointed out that LCC’s downtown development project had the potential to create a significant <br />number of new jobs in and around the downtown area in addition to the 300 to 400 construction jobs that <br />were expected to be created by the project. <br />Ms. Medary thanked Ms. Spilde for her presentation and comments and noted it was difficult for her to <br />imagine the City of Eugene without Lane Community College. She noted that she had taken many <br />classes at LCC and felt lucky that the City had such an important and beneficial community partner. <br />Ms. Ortiz appreciated the community focus that was integral to LCC’s downtown development project. <br />Mr. Clark, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to select LCC to redevelop the 10th <br />and Charnelton property as the location for its new downtown education facility <br />and to direct the Agency Director to enter into an exclusive negotiation <br />agreement with LCC for a period of six months, negotiate a purchase and sale <br />agreement, and return to the URA Board for final approval of the terms. The <br />motion passed unanimously, 8:0. <br /> <br />Ms. Piercy adjourned the meeting of the Eugene Urban Renewal Agency and reconvened the work <br />session meeting of the Eugene City Council at 6:38 p.m. <br />C. WORK SESSION: City Council Goals <br />Ms. Medary briefly recapped the council’s recent goal-setting meetings and noted that they had continued <br />their discussion regarding the Eugene Counts efforts and their annual goal-setting efforts. She reiterated <br />from previous council discussions that they were generally agreed in their commitment to provide clarity <br />and focus as they moved through the goal-setting process. <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council January 25, 2010 Page 8 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br />
