BACKGROUND The council received a full packet of information for its February 10 work session. At the beginning of the work session, the City Manager made a short PowerPoint presentation and provided a copy of the Power Point to the council. See Attachment A for a copy of the PowerPoint. Summary of Action Taken at the February 10, 2010 Work Session The council approved splitting the suggested motion that was handed out by City Attorney Glenn Klein. The council then adopted (as three separate actions) the first three components. Those components (as amended) were the following: 1. a. Use $100,000 of one-time existing urban renewal dollars to purchase and install additional lighting downtown and $100,000 of one-time dollars (½ from telecomm and ½ from existing urban renewal) to purchase automated behavior crime reporting software and cameras, but only after the council approves the City Manager’s plan for number, location, use and on-going costs of the cameras, after considering the cameras expected effectiveness in deterring crime. 1. b. Pursue use of Springfield jail beds to include the exchange for Springfield’s use of Eugene Fire’s Training Center. 1. c. Include in the City Manager’s proposed FY11 budget, $500,000 of the City’s Human Services Commission (HSC) contribution for partial funding of the downtown safety initiative, including additional services like Cahoots. The remaining motions that the council still must act on are the following: 1. d. Present to the Urban Renewal Agency Board for its review a proposed amendment to the downtown urban renewal plan that would 1) restrict the use of tax increment funds and Z:\CMO\2010 Council Agendas\M100222\S100222A.doc increase the spending limit to pay for (i) the Broadway Place Garages’ debt, thereby freeing up funds for additional police officers downtown, and (ii) three other projects specified in the motion below, and 2) terminate the downtown urban renewal district as soon as the projects are paid for or sufficient funds are collected to fund those projects. In addition, present to the council, at the same time that the City Manager brings forward a draft amendment to the urban renewal plan, an analysis of both a local option levy and a general obligation bond, instead of tax increment financing, to fund the specified projects. 1.e.
