EUGENE CITY COUNCIL
March 29, 1978
Adjourned meeting from March 27, 1978, of the City Council of the City of
Eugene, Oregon, was called to order by His Honor Mayor Gus Keller at 11:30
a.m., March 29,1978, King's Table, Oakway Mall, with the following Councilors
present: D. W. Hamel, Ray Bradley, Tom Williams, Eric Haws, Jack Delay, Scott
Lieuallen, Brian Obie, and Betty Smith.
I. Items From Mayor and Council
A. Panhandle Review Committee Appointments--Mayor Keller distributed
a list of appointments for the committee.
Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Bradley, to approve the
appoi ntments.
--
Mr. Delay questioned the effectiveness of a committee when there were
persons appointed who had strong positions regarding the panhandle
policy. Mr. Haws said he still did not know what the committee was
supposed to do and suggested Mr. Delay perhaps could take his place
on the committee, as Mr. Haws was entirely opposed to the panhandle
policy. Mr. Willia~s agreed that the problem should be approached
honestly with an objective view from all committee members. He felt
it best to have citizens at large who have not clearly established
their position already. Mr. Obie agreed the committee should have
an objective viewpoint in reviewing the standards. He said it was
Council's intention to continue the panhandle policy, but the co~it-
tee was charged with making reco~endations as to upgrading the
standards to make panhandle lots more aesthetically attractive and
acceptable. He was fearful the corrrnittee might drag its feet in
coming to any change or undermine the present policy. Mr. Lieuallen
agreed the committee should approach the review of standards only by
refining and suggesting improvements. Mr. Hamel felt the commitee
should have a specific charge from Council as to its duties.
Mr. Bradley suggested the committee should have the flexibility to
review the entire panhandle policy and should be able to recommend no
panhandle policy if it feels that is the best solution. Mr. Delay
disagreed, saying the probleM was with the aesthetics in making
panhandle lots more acceptable. He felt that problem existed also
with single- and multiple-family dwellings, and mobile homes. He felt
the policy should not be singled out in isolation; but, rather the
committee should review the standards for the panhandle lots.

May'or Keller said he had sought appointments to the committee on the
premise they would be reviewing the policy. He had tried to choose
people who were concerned, and noted if Council did not like his
appointments then Council was free to make other appointments.
Mr. Lieuallen was willing to serve on the committee in place of
Mr. Haws, noting he also felt the need to address the major issue
of density. He would be willing to look at the bad effects of the
pan~andle policy and suggest ways for improvement.
Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, to amend the motion to
replace Mr. Haws with Mr. Lieuallen for Council representation
on the co~ittee. Motion carried unanimously.
Mayor Keller said the charge to the committee would be to review the
panhandle policy and make suggested changes in the standards which
would be more acceptable to all citizens. The committee would not
have the right to delete the entire panhandle policy. Betty Niven,
Chairman, JHC, suggested Council also instruct the committee to look
at lots which now qualify and determine ways in which these standards
could be changed or develop other lots to increase density.
Vote was taken on the motion to appoint the committee, which
carried unanimously.
e
The committee will consist of the following persons: Council repre-
sentatives Bill Hamel and Scott Lieuallen; Planning Commission
representatives Randy Thwing and James Pearson; Citizens-at-large--
Arden Munkres, 2104 Dewey; Elaine Roccio, 2483 Blackburn; Dr. Glen
Purdy, 2490 Lariat Meadov/s Drive; landscape architect Peter Thompson,
2440 Oak Grove Drive; and architect Dan Childress, 1845 1/2 University.
B.
Parks and Recreation Authorization To Purchase Ridgeline Property--
Manager said in executive session Council had discussed the purchase
of property. Action is being taken at the request of the owner to
proceed with negotiations on a settlement of the price with the owner.
Res. No. 2864--Authorizing institution of proceedings in eminent domain
for acquisition by condemnation of property west of County
Road No. 981, north of Spencer Butte and north and east of
County Road 759 for preservation of South Hills Ridgeline
was read by number and title only.
Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Bradley, to adopt the resolution.
Roll call vote. Motion carried unanimously, with Mr. Haws abstaining.

C.
Agenda Changes--Manager said Item X would be postponed to the April 5
~eeting and consideration of the ordinance for a moratorium on panhandle ~
lots would be substituted.
Mayor Keller indicated a request for testimony and noted the public
hearing had been held and closed at the Monday, March 27, meeting. It
was consensus of Council not to take further public hearing at this
~eeting. Mr. Bradley objected, and felt Council should allow the
speaker to address his concerns. ·
Mr. Bradley moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, to allow public
testimony.
Manager suggested it might be better to wait until that agenda item
was addressed.
Mr. Williams requested, seconded by Mr. Obie, to hold the item
over to Monday night, April 10, meeting.
In clarification, Stan Long, City Attorney, said Council had asked,
at its Monday night meeting, .for staff to prepare an ordinance for
this Wednesday meeting. He said there had been no hearing on this
particular ordinance and it is an agenda ite~. With request from
two Councilors, that item can be held over to the next Monday night
meeti ng.
Mr. Bradley moved, seconded by Mr. Obie, to have the item as a
public hearing for the April 10 meeting.
-
Mr. Obie said that was the only logical reason he would see for
holding the item over. Mr. Haws pointed out that would, in effe~t,
allow more people to ~ake applications for panhandle lots. There-
fore, he objected. He could not see there was anything to be
achieved hy holding a public hearing, and he was voting no.
Mr. Willians wondered if a public hearing were required on any ordi-
nance. Mr. Long said there is no such requirement that Council take
public testimony on each ordinance. He said options for Council were
to have a public hearing; not have a public hearing and accept written
testimony; or confine the scope of a public hearing.
A member of the audience asked for a point of order in that there were
two motions on the floor. Mr. Long clarified the one motion made to
allow the speaker to give public testiMOny at this meeting was not in
effect as that item had been removed from the agenda.
Vote was taken on the motion to allow public hearing, which was
defeated with Haws, Delay, Lieuallen, Williams, and Smith voting
no; Of)ie, -Hamel, and Bradley voting aye.

D. Meetings Scheduled
MAPAC interviews, Wednesday, March 29, 6:30 p.m., McNutt Room.
Wednesday, March 29,7:30 p.m., Harris Hall, joint meeting between
Eugene/Springfield/Lane County commissioners for T-2000 public
hea ri ng.
Manager also noted a schedule outlining work sessions for Council
on the T-2000 Plan: Study sessions, Wednesdays April 12 and 19;
public hearing and possible action Monday, April 24; Council action,
if necessary, Wednesday, Apri 1 26.
E. Library Week--Manager announced the first week in April would be
National Library Week, with a speakout to be held 7:00 p.m., Monday,
April 3, in the lecture room of the Eugene Public Library. Purpose
would be to develop local priorities to be presented at the regional
conference in Eugene in May. Citizen participation was being requested.
II. Joint Meeting With Civic Center
Manager said the purpose of this discussion was to have a presentation by
Economic Research Associates of the co~pleted Market Financial Feasibility
and Impact Study for the Eugene Civic Center Project. A possible election
date of June 27 is being considered.
e
Richard McElyea, senior vice president of ERA, said the objectives of the
report were to: 1) Define an appropriate public assembly facility; 2)
test the facility for economic impact on the community; and 3) recommend
financing vehicle and sources. He said four special characteristics had
been identified in the Eugene area: 1) A large trade area for a city of
this size; 2) a strong local basis for support of the performing arts; 3)
a national reputation as a good place to live; and 4) a youthful makeup
of the population. He said all indicated a very high degree of success
potential for such a facility. Overall projections have indicated a very
strong combination use of about 600,000 attendance per year.
The final report analyzes each of the facilities from the operational
standpoint and then from the standpoint of what revenues could be gene-
rated. There will be a deficit from operations alone of one-quarter
million dollars per year; tax revenues can more than offset the deficits
and this is not an unusual situation. From an economic standpoint, the
annual payroll would be $400,000 per year. An important side effect would
be the possible attraction of a major hotel development with a total impact
of perhaps $5 million a year from the hotel. Regarding tax implications,
potential tax revenues from a hotel would be $573,000 per year; and a
potential available of ground lease of the hotel could be also used as an
offset. In summa~y, Mr. McElyea said the economic impact of construction
would be $18 million, operational revenues $2 million, and potential tax
revenues of $800,000 per year.

2.03
John Dykstra, consultant to Economic Research Associates, discussed
fundi ng sources. ERA was recorrmendi ng very strongly the project be _
phased, with the first phase to be the Center for the Arts. Total con-
struction costs are estimated presently at about $17.1 million. Phase
II would be a parking structure and platform which is estimated at $1.6
million; with the third phase a corrmunity conference center of about $5
million. Regarding funding sources, the ERA had rejected private invest-
ments as this is not to be viewed as a money-making project. Sources
suggested were use of general obligation bonds, tax allocation bonds,
EDA funding, other federal grant funding, and fund raising within the
cOr.1Tlunity. ERA was not recommending total funding for the project with
GO bonds, as that would be $24 million with an annual debt service of $1.7
million. It was suggested for Phase I (Center for Arts) that GO bonds be
used after exercising the potential for fund raising. For the remainder
it was recommended either/or EDA or tax allocation bonds.
Mr. Dykstra continued that financial support outside of the municipal tax
exempt bond issues could be found from the hotel complex ($289,000 tax
incre~ent and $217,000 land rent); impose event ticket tax (20 cents per
ticket for $30,000 per year); fund raising used on an annual basis; and
National Endowment for the Arts funding of perhaps $25,000; raising
Eugene's portion of room tax from three percent to five percent and
applying 50 percent of the proceeds to funding; and using 100 percent of
the hotel's tax. The latter two would generate an estimated $294,000 per
year in revenues. He said when combining the debt service and deficits
for total GO bond, would result in $2 million per year. Sources of out-
side support would approximate $930,000, leaving approximately $1 million ~
to be funded. .,
There was considerable discussion at the Civic Center Commission meeting
held Tuesday evening regarding funding of the project. Mr. Dykstra felt
it seemed reasonable to proceed on the basis of using GO bonds for a
combination of Phases I and II, and then consider Phase III financing
under EDA or tax allocation bonds.
A series of organizational alternatives were considered. The major
recommendation was that there be set up a non-profit operating corpora-
tion to administrate the facilities, promotion of bookings, and marketing
of conferences. Another alternative could be an organization as a City
department under the City Manager's Office. ERA preferred a non-profit
corporation. Also, there was a recommendation for a non-profit organiza-
tion, Eugene Foundation for Arts, for fund raising and establishing
membership for involvement to ~ursue grant sources.
Mr. Haws questioned what the actual cost would be to the taxpayer, based
on a $40,000 house. It was estimated between $25 and $35 for a 20-year
period, with that anout declinin9 as the debt is reduced. Manager noted
the tax base is rising rapidly and the actual tax rate for debt service
would be reduced in turn.
e

e
Mr. Lieuallen said in regard to the organizational management, he would
prefer to have it under the City Manager's Office, resulting in more ease
for use of room tax money. He cited the public contract law and the
public bidding process.
Mr. Dykstra reiterated ERA was recommending phasing for financing because
of the financing alternatives available. The Civic Center Commission was
encouraging commitment to develop the total project. He said there seemed
to be some sense of urgency for use of GO bonds, but ERA was recommending
to the maximum extent possible that tax allocation bonds, EDA funding, and
fund raising be used. He noted a problem with time constraints. Phase I
would be a very usable facility, but the total complex will be much more
usable.
Mr. Bradley noted the center will be a county-wide use facility and
wondered if there had been any discussion with the County for financial
assistance. Mayor Keller had been in discussion with Commissioner
Weinstein and found that the County's room tax money is going to be
used to payoff the fairground's building; there is no chance for the
City receiving any 0 & C funds. One opportunity might be in the County
providing additional parking, and Mayor Keller will continue to pursue
assistance from the County.
-
It was noted that May 18 is the latest date for Council decision. Mr.
Williams questioned the time frame for the process of funding the three
phases. Mr. Dykstra said the EDA funding would take approximately one
year in the application process. The fund raising stage could be evaluated
by a specialist relatively quickly to get a reasonable estimate. Tax
allocation sources depend on negotiating for the development of a hotel,
which might take a year. It was noted that the use of GO bonds was one
of the best bargains for taxpayers as the impact decreases in time.
Mr. Hamel expressed concern with the escalation of the cost and the
project, noting it started out as an auditorium estimated at $11 million
and now is a major complex for $24 million. He commended the work that
had been done to date, but wondered if this were not becoming a monument.
He felt uncomfortable with the $24 million price tag.
Mr. Obie noted the motion passed by the Civic Center Commission on a 5:4
vote did not indicate the entire commission was not supporting the entire
civic center project, but rather was concerned regarding the approach to
financing Phases I and II as they relate to Phase III. He felt Council
should delay any decision in order to allow the commission to review its
motion and bring back any further information to Council.
Mr. Lieuallen agreed the commission vote was not a position on whether or
not the project should be built, but rather whether it should be phased,
which elements should be included in the phase, and what would be the
most advantageous approach to financing. He said there was some general
feeling that all three phases should be included in GO bond financing.
e
3/29/78--6

There was some question as to whether authorization for GO bond measures .
for the first portion should be recommended and build the parking only
with EDA funding, with Phase III being financed from other sources. He
concurred with Mr. Obie that Council should defer any action to let the
commission re-evaluate.
Dory McGillivary, Vice Chairperson of Civic Center Commission, said the
commission wished Council to support the commission's work and allow the
Council time to think about the proposed financing and ask the commission
questions. She noted there were four very important members of the
commission absent from the meeting and she would like to have one more
meeting for those members to be able to take part in the discussion and
decision. The major conflict regarded financing, with the commission
wanting the entire facility financed, but questioning the high price of
$24 million to be presented to the citizens. On the other hand, there
was concern that the political climate may change, which could effect the
total project being completed. Jim Kays, Civic Center Commission member,
said the commission was lOa-percent dedicated to this project. Horace
Robinson, Civic Center Commission member, said his major concern in this
matter was whether the people would inquire if the structure could be
built for less, and his answer was "yes".
Mr. Haws sensed from reading the minutes of the commission meetings that
. there was some disagreement on the committee. He requested Mr. Robinson
to provide him with his opinion as to where plans for the type of facility
went astray. He noted that people he had talked to said they would not
be able to afford to perform in the center. Mayor Keller said people he
had talked to gave him quite the contrary opinion, saying they were amazed
the prices would be so low. Mr. Haws reiterated his desire to have only a
performing arts center for the artists in town, and was not interested in
a commercial development. He requested again a report from Mr. Robinson,
who is close to the performing arts people in the community. Mr. Lieuallen
noted that he and Mr. Robinson had made a motion to reduce the $18 million
figure to $16 million, as they felt it can be done for less.
-
A short recess was taken.
Ill. Joint Funding of Golf Course Study
Outline of study and offer by National Golf Foundation distributed.
Manager said this agenda item was a result of the intergovernmental
meeting with Lane County and Springfield City Council, February 7.
Staff was recommending a joint study of Mount Pisgah site for a golf
course and a study would be financed with a 50-percent division between
Lane County and the City of Eugene. He noted some negative'comments
regarding a golf course. However, he said golf courses are used by
persons from all economic levels and age groups, with much broader
participation than other sports that were being city subsidized, such as
tennis or swimming. He felt there was a very serious need for such a
facility.

Ernie Drapela, Parks, said that since the February 7 meeting, the staff
from the City and Lane County have developed a scope for a study based
on economic terms of whether the community can support such a golf course.
Mount Pisgah is the primary site at this point. Information had been
submitted to the National Golf Foundation and that group has agreed it can
provide the study requested. They, in turn, submitted a proposal to conduct
the study for $6,000, plus $400 expenses, with the cost to each jurisdiction
$3,200. The money would come from City operating contingencies.
Mr. Williams wondered how the decision was reached on the 50/50 split for
the cost of the study and if that implied the construction costs would be
of the same percentage split. Mr. Drapela said it was felt the City
should buy into the study because the location of such a golf course
might be within the city and, thus, the City should be privileged to
have the information from the study. Lane County has discussed the
possibility that if the golf course were to be located on Lane County
property, the financing would be a general bond issue and possibly then
contracted out. He said those details would result from the study. Also,
the study would provide information as to whether the course would be a
Lane County, City, or a joint venture.
Ms. Smith wanted the status of the operating contingeny fund. Assistant
Manager said there were $89,000 unobligated.
-
Mr. Obie said the study spoke directly to Mount Pisgah and wondered if
the location had been set. Mr. Drapela said that site was picked simply
because it is an available location and Lane County had earmarked that as
a prime site. However, after the study, if it is felt it is not a prime
site, then other locations would be considered.
Mr. Delay noted the expense of the study was $2,000-$4,00U less than if
done by an independent firm. He wondered if the National Golf Foundation,
being promotional of the golf sport, would give an objective evaluation.
Mr. Drapela said other communities who had used this foundation for such
a study had been contacted and all reported very good results. The foun-
dation has agreed to terminate the study if they find it is not feasible.
Mr. Haws said as it looked certain the golf course would be located in the
county, he did not see why the City should be paying for the study. Mr.
Drapela said it could not be anticipated what the ultimate siting of the
golf course will be until the study is completed. Manager noted that by
the City buying into the study it will give the City a voice and under-
standing in influencing the outcome more to the city's advantage. Mr.
Haws felt if the study were going to be objective and open to the public,
he did not see any reason for the City to be involved in the funding.
Manager replied it would be more realistic for the City to be deeply
involved in the study and they would not have that right unless it helped
fund the study.
-
3/29/78--8
LO,
Mr. Obie believed there was a potential need for a golf course to serve
the community, but believed also there might be potential for one to serve ~
Eugene. He said if that were the case, he was not interested in having it
put at Mount Pisgah, and would be opposed to the request. Mayor Keller
said he felt Mr. Drapela was saying that at this time Mount Pisgah is the
No.1 priority spot; however, the study may indicate it should be located
closer to the community. Mr. Drapela said funding of the study does not
preclude consideration of other sites.
Ms. Smith supported the City's participation in the study as it would give
input on the final determinations made and would not commit the City to
the financial development. Mr. Hamel agreed with Ms. Smith, saying the
City had started the talk about developing a golf course. Mount Pisgah
came up as a site because Lane County owned the property. He felt the
City should be part of the study. Mr. Williams agreed there was a real
need for a decent golf course facility for the general population in the
area. However, he was not comfortable with the 50/50 split on funding,
but felt in was important to participate in the study. He noted that
would not commit the City to a 50/50 split on development costs.
Res. No. 2855--Authorizing joint funding with Lane County for study and
associated expenses by National Golf Foundation for pos-
sible golf course in area was read by number and title.
Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, to adopt the resolution.
Motion carried with Hamel, Bradley, Williams, Obie, and Smith
voting aye; Delay, Haws, and Lieuallen voting no.

preparation of Mahlon Sweet Field Master Plan update was
read by number and title.

VII. Sale of Surplus Property--Finance Department memo, dated March 17, 1978,
distributed. Manager noted the property was a parcel 20 feet by 120 feet,
located between West 22nd and West 23rd streets, and between Monroe and
Jefferson. The property was acquired through non-payment of improvement
costs and the current owner of the adjacent property wishes to purchase
the parcel to fill out his parcel and give him access to the alley. The
current appraised value is $215, which the owner is willing to pay. The
amount will allow the City to recover improvement costs it experienced.
Mr. Bradley wondered if a different form of appraisal could be used by
determining the value of the lot before it was acquired and after it was
acquired and use that as a basis for appraisal. Don Gilman, Public Works
Department, said he was not involved in this particular appraisal.
However, the Public Works Department often charges the going market value
on street vacations that would make property more valuable. He said in
that case the price might be more than the amount indicated here.
