reported that Oregon Research Institute would break ground on its new building and the Inn at 5 th would <br />have a ribbon cutting later in the week. <br />Mayor Piercy had attended the most recent Oregon Metropolitan Planning Organization Consortium <br />meeting in Corvallis. She reported that Corvallis stopped charging for the bus and added the costs of the <br />system to the utility fee. That had increased transit ridership by 30 percent. <br />Mayor Piercy circulated a copy of Portland's Climate Smart Scenario Project. She suggested Eugene <br />might want to pay attention to the work Portland was doing regarding importing in its economic <br />development plan. <br />Mayor Piercy said the State had issued its new highway mobility standards. <br />B. WORK SESSION: <br />Adoption of Federal Priorities List <br />The council was joined by Intergovernmental Relations Director Brenda Wilson, who presented the <br />Federal Priorities List. <br />Ms. Wilson recalled the council's passage of a resolution calling on Congress to refer an amendment <br />repealing the Supreme Court decision in Citizens United versus the Federal Communication Commission <br />to the states; the resolution also stated the item would be included on the City's 2012 federal legislative <br />agenda. She recommended that the City not propose to add the item to the United Front list because, <br />based on past actions, it was unlikely to be supported by Springfield or Lane County. Staff would <br />continue to advocate for the issue as part of the City's federal legislative agenda. <br />Ms. Wilson reviewed the items on the list. Councilors asked questions clarifying the status of the items <br />on the list. <br />Mr. Brown, seconded by Mr. Farr, moved to adopt the recommended Eugene United <br />Front 2012 Federal Priorities List. The motion passed unanimously, 6:0. <br />C. WORK SESSION: <br />Capstone Collegiate Community Housing Development Proposal <br />The council was joined by Nan Laurence of the Planning and Development Department, who introduced <br />the members of the Capstone Collegiate Properties development team who were present. Ms. Laurence <br />led the council through a PowerPoint presentation titled Proposed Downtown Student Housing Project. <br />The presentation highlighted adopted City plans and policies governing downtown development and <br />included maps showing the site location in the context of downtown and nearby neighborhood <br />associations. The presentation described the project phases and included information about the proposed <br />alley vacation and related bicycle and pedestrian improvements. The presentation concluded with a <br />schedule of public engagement opportunities and the council timeline for action. Councilors asked <br />questions clarifying the details of the presentation. <br />Mayor Piercy asked that the council be provided with the notes of the public forums held on the proposal. <br />MINUTES— Eugene City Council March 12, 2012 Page 2 <br />Work Session <br />
