Ms. Taylor thought neighborhood acceptance should be a major factor in the location of the hospital. <br /> <br />Mr. Pap6 agreed with Ms. Nathanson that the City could not force the hospital to locate at 2nd and <br />Chambers. He agreed with Ms. Bettman that a "Plan B" was needed, and said if more work was to done at <br />2nd and Chambers, more work needed to be done on other sites, such as the fairgrounds and the West <br />Broadway site. <br /> <br /> Mr. Pap6 moved, seconded by Ms. Nathanson, that the council go into an <br /> executive session. <br /> <br />The council discussed the motion. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman thought the motion premature as she did not think the council was finished with the discussion <br />yet. She said that the hospital was asking for incentives for a site it had already selected, and she questioned <br />why, in that case, an executive session was needed. <br /> <br />Mr. Meisner asked the manager to tell the council what direction he had received from the council that lead <br />to the need for an executive session. City Manager Taylor said he had heard the council's comments about <br />confining incentives to the preferred area. He received a specific request from Willamette-McKenzie/Triad <br />that he wanted to bring before the council; if it chose not to do so, that was the purview of the council. The <br />subject of the executive session was a real estate transaction that it would be inappropriate to discuss in <br />open forum. Mr. Meisner supported the motion. <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor said she would support a brief executive session. <br /> <br /> Ms. Taylor, seconded by Mr. Kelly, moved to limit the executive session to <br /> five-minutes. <br /> <br />The council briefly discussed the merits of limiting the executive session. <br /> <br /> The vote on the amendment to the motion was a 4:4 tie, Mr. Kelly, Ms. <br /> Taylor, Ms. Bettman, and Mr. Pap~ voting yes, and Ms. Nathanson, Mr. <br /> Meisner, Mr. Poling, and Ms. Solomon voting no. Mayor Torrey cast a <br /> vote against the motion, which failed on a final vote of 5:4. <br /> <br /> The vote to enter into executive session passed, 5:3; Mr. Kelly, Ms. Bett- <br /> man, and Ms. Taylor voting no. <br /> <br />D. EXECUTIVE SESSION <br /> <br />Pursuant to ORS 192.660(1)(e), the Eugene City Council entered into executive session. <br /> <br />The meeting adjourned at 7:25 p.m. <br /> <br />MINUTES--Eugene City Council January 26, 2004 Page 9 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br /> <br />
