things turned around, it would be a good time to have the community conversation. He agreed there was <br />a need for a new revenue source but it needed to be specific and constrained. Then the council could talk <br />with the community about the value of the investment and why voters should support it. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy suggested that the community conversation could also include discussion about what the <br />City had lost and what it was losing. She cited human services as an example. She said families did <br />better if cultural activities were available and if parks were opened, but the City was cutting back on those <br />basic services, which she believed had a human services element. She said as the council looked to <br />services to add it needed to keep in mind that it was losing ground in other areas, and that should be part <br />of the conversation. <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor agreed with Mayor Piercy’s remarks. She said there were many services such as schools and <br />parks that some citizens did not use but they were important services to the community. She asked if the <br />City was going to ask the voters if it supported the current service mix. <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor recommended that the City advocate for a real estate transfer tax at the State legislature. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy recommended the council also consider partnerships with other agencies as a means to <br />accomplish some of its goals. <br /> <br />Mr. Pryor recommended that the council prioritize services to inform the community discussion. <br /> <br />Mr. Zelenka suggested that staff quantify the outstanding funding issues identified in slide 9 of the <br />presentation prior to the council’s priority discussion. <br /> <br />Mr. Clark also supported holding a priority discussion. He believed it would add to public confidence. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy recommended that the City publicize the proposed process on the Web site in a manner that <br />was accessible to the public. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy adjourned the meeting at 12:59 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Beth Forrest <br />City Recorder <br /> <br />(Recorded by Kimberly Young) <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council June 20, 2012 Page 3 <br /> Work Session <br />
