RESOLUTION NO. 4742
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE INSTITUTION OF
PROCEEDINGS IN EMINENT DOMAIN FOR THE
ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY INTERESTS (1948 CRANE
LANE, TL 17-04-25-24-05800) FOR LOCATION OF A
PORTION OF A POLICE DEPARTMENT FACILITY.
The City Council of the City of Eugene finds that:
A. The City Council has authority under provisions of the City Charter and applicable
state law to institute proceedings in eminent domain for the acquisition by condemnation of private
property for public purposes, including construction of a facility to house a portion of the Eugene
Police Department operations.
B. The proposed project is in compliance with and in furtherance of adopted City plans
and policies, and acquisition of the property at 1948 Crane Lane, Eugene, Oregon is necessary in
order to construct a portion of the Police Department facility.
C. The public good realized from the project far outweighs any damage which the
property owners might sustain, particularly in light of the City's obligation to provide just
compensation to the affected property owners.
Now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EUGENE, a
Municipal Corporation of the State of Oregon, as follows:

Section 3. The City Council further directs that the City Manager or the Manager's
