Mr. Zelenka hoped that more detailed information regarding the metrics used to evaluate the effects of a <br />free downtown parking program would be provided as the process moved forward. He worried that a free <br />downtown parking program would be used primarily by employees of downtown businesses. He did not <br />support the motion. <br />Mr. Pryor trusted that the City Manager could be creative enough to execute the provisions of a free <br />downtown parking program in a careful and effective manner. He hoped that the meters would not be <br />removed and that a sunset provision for the free parking program would be used. <br />Mr. Clark, responding to a request from Mayor Piercy regarding the previously stated motion, stated his <br />preference for the physical removal of parking meters as part of the free parking strategy. He further that <br />he would support whatever strategy the City Manager recommended to disable or otherwise remove the <br />parking meters. <br />The motion passed, 6:2; Ms. Ortiz and Mr. Zelenka voting in opposition. <br />Mayor Piercy adjourned the meeting at 1:29 p.m. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />�—� ��� <br />Beth Forrest <br />City Recorder <br />(Recorded by Wade Hicks) <br />MINUTES— Eugene City Council August 11, 2010 Page 8 <br />Work Session <br />
