ISSUE STATEMENT
This item is an update of the progress in discussions between the Eugene Water and Electric Board
(EWEB), McKenzie-Willamette Medical Center and the City regarding relocation of the hospital to
EWEB's headquarters site.
BACKGROUND
Council Action History: Initial council discussions about hospital expansion and siting in conjunction
with PeaceHealth took place in 2001. At a council work session on September 18, 2002, the council
directed staff to prepare a draft list of potential sites and inducements for hospital development in
Eugene. A continuation of the work session on hospital sites occurred on November 13, 2002. These
work sessions were in response to the intent to induce a hospital to locate in Eugene. In early 2003, the
council initiated a code amendment to accommodate hospital uses in a wider range of zone districts and
subsequently adopted the ordinance (that ordinance is currently at the Court of Appeals).
Work sessions were held on several dates in 2004 to update the council on the status of attracting a
hospital to Eugene. On January 21, the council directed the City Manager to evaluate three alternatives
to extend Agate Street to provide access to a potential hospital located on the EWEB site. On June 16,
the council authorized the City Manager to inform McKenzie-Willamette Medical Center ("McKenzie-
Willamette") that the City would be willing to undertake construction of two transportation projects if
McKenzie-Willamette constructed a hospital on the EWEB site with a value of not less than $85 million.
On September 22, the council directed the City Manager to pursue a development agreement for the
benefit of providing access to McKenzie-Willamette via Patterson Street, contingent upon McKenzie-
Willamette's constructing an $85 million hospital development with a substantial Willamette River
setback.
Major Development Agreements to Date: Attachment A includes a summary of the major development
agreements made between EWEB, McKenzie-Willamette, the City of Eugene and the Urban Renewal
Agency (URA) to date. The attachment also sets out the main documents that will need to be executed
among the parties in order to formalize those agreements.
Attachment B includes an unsigned copy of the initial agreement between EWEB and McKenzie-
Willamette for sale of EWEB's headquarters property. This agreement is still being negotiated between
the parties and has not yet been signed. The document sets out the timeframe for the property sale, as
well as the due diligence period for both EWEB and McKenzie-Willamette to use in evaluating the
L:\CMO\2004 Council Agendas\M041206\S041206B.doc
purchase option. It also sets the framework for the tasks that the City needs to accomplish over the next
few months.
Permitting Process and Issues: Attachment C sets out a synopsis of the permitting process and issues
for location of a hospital on the EWEB site.
Council/Agency Approvals Scheduled for Tonight: The Patterson Street underpass is a critical piece
of the puzzle for McKenzie-Willamette's decision to locate a hospital on the EWEB site. In order to
ensure that design work on the underpass occurs as swiftly as possible, McKenzie-Willamette has
indicated through a verbal agreement that it is willing to provide up to $500,000 of funding to complete
a portion of the design work. The City (through an intergovernmental agreement with the Urban
Renewal Agency) will contract the design work out and expects that design will be 30% complete by
September 30, 2005. Although some of the details of the agreement are still being negotiated,
McKenzie-Willamette has agreed that in the event that the hospital development does not go forward,
neither the Urban Renewal Agency nor the City would be obligated to repay this initial $500,000
investment in design of the project.
Budget authority for this initial $500,000 is included on Supplemental Budget #1 on December 6 (the
same meeting as this item). The additional budget authority needed to construct the project will occur at
a later date, possibly in the FY06 budget process. Authorization for the Urban Renewal Agency to enter
into a design finance agreement with McKenzie-Willamette for the $500,000 to start design work as
soon as possible is also on the agenda for later in this same meeting.
Future Council/Agency Approvals: Staff has had discussions with representatives from McKenzie-
Willamette about the long-term financing of this project and McKenzie-Willamette has verbally agreed
to pay for an approximately $12 million transportation project through an Urban Renewal Revenue
Bond agreement. Attachment D contains the document the City sent to McKenzie-Willamette to explain
how the bond agreement would work. Under the bond agreement, the City will build the Patterson
Street underpass and McKenzie-Willamette will repay the City's costs on a reimbursement basis. When
McKenzie-Willamette's property begins generating tax increment revenue in the Riverfront Urban
Renewal District, the property taxes from the McKenzie-Willamette development will be used to repay
the borrowing. If there are insufficient property tax revenues from the McKenzie-Willamette develop-
ment to repay the borrowing in full, no other URA or City revenues will be used to make up the dif-
ference. In that event, McKenzie-Willamette will not get repaid in full for the principal amount of the
borrowing.
A bond resolution will be brought to the Urban Renewal Agency for the remainder of the project design
and construction costs in the next few months. In addition, the Urban Renewal Agency will be asked to
approve an intergovernmental agreement between the City and the URA in January. That IGA will
cover the actions needed between the URA and the City to make the financing transactions work for this
project.
The City is also currently drafting a memorandum of agreement with EWEB that includes the following
points:
Acquisition of Riparian Areas. It is anticipated that the City will purchase approximately 50 to
75 feet along the riverbank for the length of the property for purposes of providing on-going protection
of certain riparian areas. The exact location and amount of property purchased for this purpose will be
L:\CMO\2004 Council Agendas\M041206\S041206B.doc
determined in cooperation with McKenzie-Willamette and EWEB. Methods of paying for this purchase
are currently being developed by City staff.
Telecommunications. The City will pay for and install underground conduit and fiber optic
cable to the new EWEB headquarters site.
Wetlands Mitigation. EWEB's transfer to the City of the riparian areas and EWEB's relocation
to the proposed headquarters site will be considered by the City in determining whether EWEB may be
entitled to wetlands mitigation credits.
Access and Transportation Improvements. The City will consider assisting EWEB with the cost
of access and transportation improvements needed at the new EWEB headquarters site, if necessary to
complete the relocation transaction.
These actions will be contingent upon City Council approval of appropriation authority for these items,
which will be brought to the council at future dates.

The council has identified a goal for 2004 to facilitate the development of a hospital in Eugene's central
core.

disturbance agreements in mutually agreeable form from each of the tenants of the
Property.
11. TITLE AND SURVEY. Purchaser shall obtain, at Purchaser's sole cost and expense, a
current title commitment and a survey of the Property. Purchaser shall provide Seller a
copy of the survey when it has been completed. Purchaser has until the end of the

refundable security deposits received by Seller and not applied against tenant's
obligations under tenant leases shall be credited against the Purchase Price, and Seller
shall be entitled to retain such deposits. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold

OUTLINE OF PROPOSAL TO MCKENZIE-WILLAMETTE MEDICAL CENTER
McKenzie-Willamette is proposing to construct a hospital facility in the City of Eugene (the "Hospital").
The Hospital will be located in the Eugene Renewal Agency's Riverfront Urban Renewal Area. The
Riverfront Urban Renewal Area will receive the "tax increment revenues" from the Hospital. The tax
increment revenues are the property taxes on the increase in property value that results from the con-
struction and operation of the Hospital. In order for the Hospital to go forward with the project,
additional transportation access needs to be provided by constructing a Patterson Street underpass (the
"Street Improvements"). The City of Eugene proposes to construct the Street Improvements and to pay
for those improvements with the proceeds of a bond that is purchased by McKenzie-Willamette.
The bond will be secured by the increase in tax increment revenues that results from the construction of
the Hospital, but would not be secured by any other revenues of the City or its Urban Renewal Agency.
The City has plans to use the other revenues of the Agency to accomplish additional high priority pro-
jects within the Riverfront Urban Renewal Area.
The Street Improvements are estimated to cost approximately $12 million. The Hospital is estimated to
have a total taxable assessed value of approximately $61 to $72 million (assuming the property is
assessed at 72% of the cost of $85 to $100 million). The property on which the Hospital will be located
is currently largely exempt from property taxes, but there are a couple of tax lots that have a taxable
assessed value of about $2 million*. This means that the Hospital will increase the assessed value of in
the Riverfront Urban Renewal Area by about $59 to $70 million.
The consolidated tax rate (the sum of all property tax rates) in the Riverfront Urban Renewal Area is
currently about $18/$1,000 of assessed value. This means that the Hospital should produce about $1 to
$1.2 million of tax increment revenues each year, assuming a 93% county-wide property tax collection
rate. If the bond that McKenzie-Willamette purchases bears interest at 5% per annum, the tax increment
revenues will repay the bond with interest in approximately 15 to 19 years.
The Riverfront Urban Renewal Area will terminate on June 30, 2024. When the area terminates, the
Agency will no longer be able to collect tax increment revenues. This means that the bond must also
terminate in that year, regardless of whether it has been paid in full.
IfMcKenzie-Willamette constructs the Hospital, maintains its value, and pays its property taxes begin-
ning in 2009, the tax increment revenues from the Hospital are estimated to be sufficient to fully repay
the bond between 2023 and 2027. However, McKenzie-Willamette, as purchaser of the bond, will bear
the risk that property taxes on the Hospital are not sufficient to pay the bond before the date the bond
terminates or when the Urban Renewal Area terminates. If the Hospital is not constructed, or has an
assessed value that is less than current estimates, or is damaged or destroyed, or becomes exempt from
property taxation, the tax increment revenues from the proposed facility may not be sufficient to fully
repay the bond.
* More research needs to be done to determine the amount of taxable assessed value within the property that the Hospital
would purchase from EWEB.
