In response to a question from Ms. Rygas, Mr. Braud said that the staff would need more time to analyze each site. He said that the only large greenfield site was Awbry Meadows. He estimated that 75 percent of the sites were already developed or underdeveloped. He repeated that the only major greenfield sites, either served or unserved, were the Awbry Meadows property, the Willow Creek area, and the Greenhill Technology Park and that the rest of the sites were either developed or would be considered brownfield/infill property. In response to a question from Ms. Rygas about using Beltline Road as the boundary, Mr. Braud said that the Beltline Road boundary was just not well thought out at this point. Mr. Kahle said that it would be wonderful if the committee could send the message that it approved creating an Enterprise Zone by 75 percent, and then with added conditions it approved the idea 100 percent. Ms. Smith, seconded by Mr. Kahle, moved to recommend that businesses that develop on brownfield sites receive 100 percent of the incentive and that businesses that develop on greenfield sites receive 66.6 percent of the incentive with the opportunity to earn more related to the following items listed in the memorandum: attractive wages, employee benefits, job training and advancement opportunities, and job retention; and that boundary option A or B, as described in the memorandum, be adopted. Mr. Korth made a friendly amendment to adopt boundary option B as recommended by staff. Ms. Smith and Mr. Kahle accepted the amendment. Mr. Wanichek said that he thought this was a good compromise. He added that he knew that a tax incentive did make a difference in businesses decisions about where to locate. He said that the compromise on the greenfield sites would make a difference and would attract companies that would want to locate in Eugene because it was a little different and was concerned about the quality of life. Ms. Teninty asked if the subcommittee would define "attractive wages." Mr. Forbes said that would be the responsibility of the City Council. Ms. Rygas said that she liked the spirit of the compromise but expressed concern that the motion did not ask for enough. She recommended amending the motion to include some minimum level of job criteria for brownfield development and a ladder for greenfield development. She said that while she agreed that the recommendation to the council should not be too detailed, she wanted to create incentives that would raise the median wage in Eugene. Ms. Pierce said that she did not think that even a 100 percent three-year tax exemption for development on a brownfield would cover the cost of the clean-up of the site and that therefore, MINUTES--Mayor's Committee on Economic Development June 28, 2004 Page 5
