THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EUGENE, OREGON (THE "CITY") FINDS AS FOLLOWS: A. The City is authorized by ORS Chapter 223 to issue general obligation bonds to finance parking improvements without a vote of the people. However, Article XI, Section 11 b of the Oregon Constitution provides that general obligation bonds may not be issued without a vote of the people. ORS 288. 155(2)(a) authorizes the City to issue limited tax bonds without a vote of the people when statutes authorize general obligation bonds to be issued without a vote of the people. The City is therefore authorized to issue limited tax bonds to finance parking improvements. B. The developer will sign a development agreement with the City relating to the Broadway and Charnelton Parking Garages no later than 30 days prior to issuing the bonds, and will meet its requirements under that agreement, including paying the City $300,000.
