Mayor Piercy stated that the motion was still on the table and given that the meeting was approaching its <br />scheduled ending time, she asked for a motion to extend the meeting. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman, seconded by Mr. Poling, moved to extend time for the item by five minutes. <br />The motion passed, 6:2; Mr. Papé and Ms. Taylor voting no. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman said she could have supported the motion in the PowerPoint presentation (direct the City <br />Manager to negotiate a land transaction and to bring back final terms for council approval). She indicated <br />her support for the equitable exchange of land between the City and The Shedd and would be happy to <br />proceed with that. However, the motion implied it was a facilitative move to participating in the Whole <br />Foods development, and it was her opinion that the council “hadn’t gotten there yet.” <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman offered a friendly amendment that deleted the words in the motion following “The Shedd <br />Institute for the Arts, LCC.” Otherwise, she would have to vote against the motion because the council had <br />not yet adequately discussed the issues involved. <br /> <br />Mr. Kelly left the meeting. <br /> <br />City Manager Taylor said his concern about delay was specifically related to the possibility that land could <br />be exchanged without a tie to the more specific development proposal, leading to the loss of all potential tax <br />revenue from that property. <br /> <br />Ms. Solomon declined to accept the friendly amendment. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman maintained that, given expected population growth in the valley, to approach such proposals <br />from a “position of desperation” was a mistake. She said the City could afford to take the time to establish <br />whether there was a public benefit. She could support the transaction knowing there was the possibility for <br />development, but would not “rubber-stamp” the proposal until the council saw the details. <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor wished to honor Mr. Kelly’s request for postponement. Mr. Papé concurred. <br /> <br />Mr. Papé, seconded by Mr. Pryor, moved to table the item to February 13, 2006. The mo- <br />tion passed unanimously, 7:0. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Dennis M. Taylor <br />City Manager <br /> <br />(Recorded by Kimberly Young) <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council February 8, 2006 Page 8 <br /> Work Session <br />
