PUBLIC HEARING: <br /> Mayor's Civic Facilities Visioning Committee Report <br /> <br />Mr. Taylor asked Facilities Manager Glen Svendsen to speak to the subject of the public hearing. <br /> <br />Mr. Svendsen explained the public hearing on the recommended policy principles had been scheduled at <br />the direction of the City Council. He stated that in addition to the public hearing, an information session <br />was held in the McNutt Room. Ten people attended and their comments were included in the agenda item <br />summary (AIS). He called the action scheduled to take place on July 14, a continuing step in the process, <br />adding that staff would bring a number of options for the public safety building to the July 14 work <br />session. <br /> <br />Mayor Torrey opened the public hearing. <br /> <br />Jim Hale, 1715 Linnea Avenue, opined that the creation of a Great Civic Street was an example of people <br />being told by experts what they want to hear to justify an important action about which the decision- <br />makers already had made up their minds. He said that just because the people wanted 8th Avenue to look <br />nice was no reason to build a public safety building there. He thought the disadvantage of the site across <br />the street was the Lane County Sheriff's Office (LCSO) was not interested in partnering in a building at <br />that locatiOn. He felt that the City should stay with its goal to partner with other agencies. He did not see <br />a reason for the Police Station to be across the street from City Hall. He felt a better location would be the <br />Fire and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) building on 2nd Avenue and Chambers Street, or perhaps in <br />close proximity to the Lane County Jail. <br /> <br />MINUTES--Eugene City Council July 12, 2004 Page 4 <br /> Regular Meeting <br /> <br /> <br />
