Mr. Taylor said the question on the bond measure was not "if," but "when." He said that when the City <br /> Council and staff had done things well and had been successful in engaging the interest of the community, <br /> it had done them in a thoughtful and methodical way. He predicted the support would be stronger when <br /> the end results being sought were better known. <br /> <br /> Ms. Bettman remarked that senior citizens would need parks that were "more of a corridor" as activities <br /> for seniors tended to involve walking. She suggested the committee take this configuration into <br /> consideration. <br /> <br /> Ms. Nathanson asked if the council was anticipating that staff would work on a rough outline of a bond <br /> measure. <br /> <br /> Ms. Taylor reiterated her concern that land for open space would only increase in value, should the bond <br /> measure be delayed until 2006. <br /> <br /> Mayor Torrey polled the council to determine whether there was support for such an outline. There was <br /> not majority support for it. <br /> <br /> The meeting adjourned at 1:28 p.m. <br /> <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> Dennis M. Taylor <br /> City Manager <br /> <br /> (Recorded by Ruth Atcherson) <br /> <br />MINUTES--Eugene City Council July 14, 2004 Page 8 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br /> <br />
