voting in favor; Mr. Poling, Ms. Solomon, Mr. Pap6, and Ms. Nathanson voting in op- position. Mayor Torrey voted against the amendment and the motion failed on a final vote of 5:4. Ms. Nathanson, seconded by Mr. Pap6, moved to postpone to March 8 and direct staff to analyze other lots that may be removed as a substitute for the "Good Times" lot. Mr. Klein noted that Ms. Bettman had another motion to amend and it would be better to address all amendments prior to moving to postpone. Ms. Nathanson withdrew her motion. Ms. Bettman, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to amend the ordinance to provide for electoral approval by adding the following at the end of the ordinance title: "And making section (1) of this ordinance effective only upon approval of the electors of the City and adding section (3) and (4) as follows: (3) The City Council orders a City election to be held in the City of Eugene, Oregon, on November 2, 2004, in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 254 of the Oregon Revised Statutes for the purpose of referring to the qualified electors the question of whether section (1) of this ordinance shall become effective, and the ballots shall be counted and tabulated and the results certified as provided by law. (4) Section (1) of this ordinance shall become effective only upon approval of the elec- tors of the City at the election held pursuant to section (3) of this ordinance. Ms. Bettman affirmed that there had been public input into the plan, but she asserted that the actual financial impacts of the plan were not explicitly explained. She supported placing it on a ballot so the voters could decide whether to spend this money on an urban renewal district. The motion failed, 6:2; Ms. Taylor and Ms. Bettman voting in favor. Ms. Nathanson, seconded by Mr. Pap~, moved to postpone to March 8, 2004, and to direct staff to analyze other lots that may be removed as a substitute for the "Good Times" lot. Mr. Meisner offered a friendly amendment to change the language so that it directed to staff to analyze other lots that may be removed or added. The maker and the second of the motion accepted the friendly amendment. The motion passed unanimously, 8:0. Mayor Torrey adjourned the meeting at 1:30 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Dennis M.
