<br />City of Eugene City Hall Complex Master Plan <br />Community Forum #1-Summary Report <br /> <br />Comments from small groups and written comments <br /> <br />. Build for 100 years. Build bigger than the present need and become a landlord in the interim. <br /> <br />. Important if we use this to enhance all of downtown. <br /> <br />. Be affordable. <br /> <br />. Do not spend taxpayers' money on an unnecessary new building. <br /> <br />. Now and for the life cycle of the building. <br /> <br />. Insert "actually" before "exercise." <br /> <br />. Long-lasting, more than 200 years. <br /> <br />. Be affordable. <br /> <br />. The fiscal aspect should not only be transparent, but true and accurate. <br /> <br />. V oters will not take seriously that the City values "fiscally responsibility" and <br />"environmental stewardship" when the executive bureaucracy is selling unneeded parking <br />garage to half-witted city councilors. <br /> <br />. Re: Fiscal Responsibility. Avoid trendy colors and design elements-they age much too fast. <br /> <br />. Fiscal responsibility.

Construct building that will integrate the various parts of the City. <br /> <br />. Government should represent the people-would support the project if it is representative of <br />the populace. <br /> <br />. Need a process in which the public can express its priorities before funds are allocated for a <br />proj ect. <br /> <br />. Efficiency is a virtue when the government is acting on behalf of the populace. <br /> <br />. Do not like the wording of the value-it should read: Enable or facilitate government <br />efficiency. <br /> <br />. Employees may be more efficient in a better building, not just through consolidation. <br /> <br />. Need to know how it will be paid for-do not plan for something when you do not know how <br />you are going to pay for it. <br /> <br />The JD White Company, Inc. <br /> <br />Page 4 <br /> <br />April 2006 <br />
