Item 3A: Approval of City Council Minutes

Home Browse Search

Speaking to the question of the level of detail desired in the analysis, Mr. Pryor suggested that the appraisals done by McKenzie-Willamette Hospital be employed. He suggested another factor for the council to consider was the time it would take to negotiate the sale of the EWEB site. However, he was willing to explore the EWEB site without going into a lot of detail. He said the council would depend on City and EWEB staffs being honest and candid with their assessment in making a final decision. Mr. Brown believed that staff could review the reports already produced by EWEB. He did not think staff needed to spend a lot of time on the analysis. Mayor Piercy thought the council could consider phasing no matter the site selected. She thought EWEB’s openness to their site as a new city hall was a cooperative gesture and she thanked the board for making it. Mayor Piercy observed that she did not hear anyone other than Ms. Taylor expressing interest in rehabilitat- ing the current building. The motion passed 5:3; Ms. Taylor, Ms. Ortiz, and Mr. Zelenka voting no. Mayor Piercy summarized the instruction to the City Manager, which was to not go too deeply into the analysis but to provide some information about the fiscal ramifications of such a move. She reminded the council of the other goals staff would have to consider as well. C. CONSENT CALENDAR A.
