believed Mr. Kiem's heart was in the right place and that he was trying to work things out so he could <br />provide a meaningful service. <br />Mr. Kamis advocated that the City follow Springfield's example and dedicate meter revenue to help the <br />youth downtown or those such as Mr. Kiem, who hoped to create an outreach center. He believed that in <br />general, people were feeling more comfortable visiting downtown and the food carts were bringing new <br />life into the area. <br />Erin Ellis, 901 South 37 Street, Springfield, continued to review Ms. Hutson's written testimony, which <br />offered further reasons as to why LTD should avoid West 11 and West 13 avenues in favor of other <br />alternatives, including the greater potential for ridership growth and economic development along 6 th and <br />7 th avenues and an enhanced entrance to the community from the airport. <br />Mayor Piercy closed the Public Forum. <br />Speaking to Mr. Vishanoff's comments, Mayor Piercy asked City Manager Ruiz to clarify the notice <br />process. City Manager Ruiz said that the City would follow the law as it regarded public notice and he <br />would ask staff to follow up with Mr. Vishanoff. <br />Mayor Piercy thanked Mr. Kamis for his remarks. She continued to see problems downtown and had <br />asked City Manager for more planning on how to address those problems, because she was not convinced <br />they could all be taken care of by the misdemeanor cleanup crew and a more comprehensive strategy was <br />needed. <br />Mayor Piercy assured Ms. Hutson that Lane Transit District was still considering 6 th and 7 th avenues as an <br />option for the West Eugene EmX route. <br />Councilor Clark thanked the students at the American English Institute for attending the meeting. He <br />introduced his wife Kim and son Bryson and daughter Elizabeth, who were also present. <br />Councilor Clark thanked all those who offered testimony and said he had not given up on the idea of <br />eliminating the meters downtown. <br />Councilor Ortiz also thanked those who offered testimony. She said it was nice to see young people from <br />other countries present to view a representative governmental forum. She was happy to hear Mr. Kamis' <br />positive remarks. <br />Councilor Taylor welcomed the students and hoped they enjoyed their summer in Eugene and that they <br />had time to have fun as well as time to study. She thanked Mr. Kamis for raising the issue of parking. <br />She recalled her long -time interest in eliminating meters downtown. She had recently viewed a series of <br />empty metered parking spaces on Oak Street and spoke of the difficulty of walking back and forth to feed <br />the meters when one was visiting downtown. <br />Councilor Taylor said she continued to believe the West Eugene EmX extension should go down Highway <br />99. <br />Councilor Taylor supported informing the public of hearing locations well ahead of the event. <br />MINUTES — Eugene City Council June 28, 2010 Page 2 <br />Regular Meeting <br />
