<br />City of Eugene City Hall Complex Master Plan <br />Community Forum #1-Summary Report <br /> <br />Other Comments from Large Group Discussion <br /> <br />. Would like an e-mail highlighting the results of the forum. <br /> <br />. Would like a broader discussion of principles, otherwise citizens will lose interest in process. <br /> <br />. The City Council disregards participation and the Whole Foods process colors the City Hall <br />process. There is a low level of trust with the City Council at the moment. <br /> <br />. Project information is biased-you should not be selling the project to the public. <br /> <br />. The City Council has decided not to maintain the City Hall facility as a means of making the <br />problems seem worse than they really are. <br /> <br />. Why not maintain the status quo? <br /> <br />. Include "other" as part of tallying votes for the values voting exercise. <br /> <br />. Improve microphone sound quality for future meetings. <br /> <br />. Please speak to our civic groups as part of outreach process. <br /> <br />. By the time a farmers market becomes part of City Hall, the conglomerates will have already <br />absorbed demand. <br /> <br />. Include the public in conceptual design choices before any bond measure. <br /> <br />Other Written Comments <br />. As an aside use Ballot Measure 16 from 2002 as a tool for financing. <br />. Do not like police department getting funded in this manner-by passing overwhelmingly <br />defeated tax levies. <br />. Issue seems disembodied from other parameters. <br />. Why 20 minutes for this weird make-work issue? <br />. What about community policing? Decentralization. <br />. What about other, bigger problems with the bubble diagrams that are not related to police? <br />. What about a farmer's market downtown? <br />. Process is not very open because the dot game is only polling. <br />. "Other City Hall Functions" is all the interesting stuff. <br />. When only one speaker has a mike it is not a community discussion. <br />. Why do city space uses seem to have 300-400 square feet per employee? <br />. Space numbers and what is in and out of the picture on the propaganda map in Newsletter #1 <br />are confusing and arbitrary. <br />. The time management and focus plan need work! <br />. This public involvement process is empty at its heart as long as you let the City Council keep <br />it on a too tight a leash. <br />. After largely wasting people's time tonight, are you going to have: 1) less participation, or 2) <br />angry participation, next time? <br /> <br />The JD White Company, Inc. <br /> <br />Page 18 <br /> <br />April 2006 <br />
