<br />Mr. Brown believed that the development would take tenants from existing landlords who paid property <br />taxes, which he did not think was fair. He questioned whether the number of projected jobs was worth <br />the projected tax exemption. He expressed concern about the manner in which housing was proposed to <br />be massed on two city blocks and asked how that benefited the neighborhood. He said he would be more <br />supportive of the development if economic times were better, but instead it was a time of scarcity and the <br />City needed revenue. He did not believe the developers would continue to own the development and they <br />would not be part of the community in the future. He believed if the City was to grant an exemption of <br />such a magnitude it should be to someone who intended to stay in the community. <br /> <br />Mr. Poling agreed with Mr. Pryor’s remarks. He supported the project, saying it was exactly what was <br />the community needed. He believed downtown was starting to “come back” and the project would inject <br />more life into the area and spur more businesses to locate in the core. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy adjourned the meeting at 7:21 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Beth Forrest <br />City Recorder <br /> <br />(Recorded by Kimberly Young) <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council April 9, 2012 Page 5 <br /> Work Session <br />
