Councilor Taylor noted her long-time advocacy for a teen center and said one was needed downtown for <br />young people to gather. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />3. CONSENT CALENDAR <br /> A. Approval of City Council Minutes <br /> - November 21, 2005, Process Session <br /> - December 14, 2005, Work Session <br /> - January 9, 2006, Work Session <br /> - January 9, 2006, City Council Meeting <br /> - January 18, 2006, Work Session <br /> - January 23, 2006, City Council Meeting <br />B. Approval of Tentative Working Agenda <br /> <br /> C. Adoption of 2006 City Council Priority Issues <br /> <br />Councilor Solomon, seconded by Councilor Ortiz, moved to adopt the Consent Calendar. <br /> <br />Councilor Bettman indicated that she submitted corrections to the minutes via e-mail. She pulled Item C. <br />Mayor Piercy deemed the corrections accepted. <br /> <br />Councilor Taylor also wished to pull Item C and referred to the December 14 work session and asked for <br />permission to submit corrections at a later date. There was no objection. <br /> <br />Councilor Papé pulled Item B. <br /> <br />Roll call vote; the motion to adopt Item A on the Consent Calendar passed unanimously, <br />8:0. <br /> <br />Referring to Item B, Tentative Working Agenda, Councilor Papé recalled that the council had been told it <br />would have a work session on the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) building <br />standards, but it was not on the schedule. City Manager Taylor indicated he would follow up, but noted that <br />the staff involved in that effort was the same staff involved with addressing the council priority of planning <br />for a new city hall complex. <br /> <br /> Roll call vote; the motion to adopt Item B passed unanimously, 8:0. <br /> <br />Referring to Item C, City Council Priority Issues, Councilor Bettman indicated she could not support Goal 3 <br />as worded in the document. A hospital could locate in Eugene if it followed all the legal processes, she said, <br />but her difficulty with the goal was that the development process would be expedited by the City. She <br />believed that there were issues not being addressed due to the haste of the process. She believed that, based <br />on medical considerations, there were sites not in Eugene that were far superior to the one being considered. <br />She said the criterion important to her was that one could move a child from the emergency room to surgery <br />without recourse to a helicopter. She did not think the City should expedite the process or guarantee an <br />outcome. <br /> <br />Councilor Bettman, seconded by Councilor Taylor, moved to adopt Goal 3. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council February 13, 2006 Page 9 <br /> Regular Meeting <br /> <br />
