Councilor Ortiz thanked those who spoke. Regarding downtown, she thanked Ms. Gladen for her remarks. <br />She clarified that the City always had two officers downtown but during the summer months the officers that <br />had been working in the schools were deployed downtown. She anticipated that in another year there will be <br />more officers dedicated to downtown. <br /> <br />Councilor Ortiz thanked Mr. Keim for his remarks. She said she did not think the City failed the homeless. <br />The City put a lot of money into the Human Services Commission and from other sources. She said the <br />City’s work was definitely not done. <br /> <br />Councilor Clark spoke to Mr. Nicholson’s remarks, saying he agreed with him that the council needed to <br />have a definition of success for EmX in west Eugene and an idea of the best outcome. He said there were <br />competing visions for West 11the Avenue. He thought the question was a good one to keep in the forefront <br />of the discussion. <br /> <br /> <br />2.
