 <br />As recommended by the Opportunity Eugene task force, we’ll set up an ongoing city <br /> <br />committee to ensure we continue taking steps to reduce homelessness and to increase <br />shelter options, property storage capacity and safe, legal places for people to be. <br /> <br /> <br />We’ll take a look at the laws and ordinances unfairly affecting homeless people with the goal <br /> <br />of removing barriers. <br /> <br />I know we will help each other. That’s really the only way it will get done. My guiding principles will <br />remain the same: ensuring that Eugene has a strong, resilient and creative economy that supports <br />our families, and that our economic development is guided by sustainability, by caring for and <br />nurturing our natural environment and social well-being of all. <br /> <br />We have proven that much can be accomplished when we work together and I look forward with <br />great optimism to what we will achieve for our wonderful city in the next four years. <br /> <br />I wish all of us a more prosperous, more compassionate, and more just new year. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy adjourned the meeting at 6:44 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Michelle Mortensen <br />Deputy City Recorder <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—City Council January 5, 2010 Page 8 <br />
