Councilor Bettman supported the amendment. She agreed that 2024 was the appropriate sunset for the district. Roll call vote; the motion passed, 7:1; Councilor Pap6 voting no. Mr. Klein indicated that a change had been made to AlS page 136, section 1, and a computer glitch had caused an earlier version of the language to be printed in the final draft. He asked that the council move to amend the ordinance to reflect this deletion. Councilor Bettman, seconded by Councilor Poling, moved to delete the last 26 words of Section 1, beginning with the word "except." Roll call vote; the motion passed, 7:1; Councilor Taylor voting no. Councilor Bettman noted that she had determined there was no support for the amendment she wished to set forth and so she would not move to amend the motion. She believed urban renewal should be strategically focused and she felt this plan was not. She asserted it would largely pay for transportation projects and would shift money from the general funds of the State, County, and City to do so. She opined that the replacement of City Hall would be a better project. Councilor Taylor rescinded her no vote on the previous roll call vote. The motion to delete the language, as set forth by City Attorney Glenn Klein, passed unanimously, 8:0. Councilor Taylor reiterated that she opposed the diversion of tax money. In response to a question from Councilor Pap6, Mr. Weinman responded that the district could be extended in 2024 should the City Council decide to do so. Roll call vote; the motion passed, 6:2; Councilors Bettman and Taylor voting no. Councilor Pap6 thanked the council for allowing him to participate by telephone. The meeting adjourned at 9:39 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Dennis M. Taylor City Manager (Recorded by Ruth Atcherson) MINUTES--Eugene City Council September 13, 2004 Page 11 Regular Session
