In response to another question from Mr. Pap6, Ms. Riner said the division would continue to work on the <br />projects from the last bond measure for the next two years. <br /> <br />Mr. Meisner agreed the council should act from a plan and not from opportunism. He hoped the committee, <br />in developing a master plan, would also prioritize activities and acquisitions. <br /> <br />Mr. Meisner approved of the use of the northwest Park Block as an urban park. <br /> <br />Mr. Taylor said the question on the bond measure was not "if," but "when." He said that when the City <br />Council and staff had done things well and had been successful in engaging the interest of the community, it <br />had done them in a thoughtful and methodical way. He predicted the support would be stronger when the <br />end results being sought were better known. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman remarked that senior citizens would need parks that were "more of a corridor" as activities for <br />seniors tended to involve walking. She suggested the committee take this configuration into consideration. <br /> <br />Ms. Nathanson asked if the council was anticipating that staff would work on a rough outline of a bond <br />measure. <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor reiterated her concern that land for open space would only increase in value, should the bond <br />measure be delayed until 2006. <br /> <br />Mayor Torrey polled the council to determine whether there was support for such an outline. There was not <br />majority support for it. <br /> <br />The meeting adjourned at 1:28 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Dennis M. Taylor <br />City Manager <br /> <br />(Recorded by Ruth Atcherson) <br /> <br />MINUTES--Eugene City Council July 14, 2004 Page 8 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br /> <br />
