The City Complex master planning process began in May 2005 when the Council approved the <br />City Hall Complex Priority Issue Action Plan which identified the major policy issues to be <br />addressed, the overall description of project phasing, the nature of work to be accomplished, <br />resource needs and proposed project outcomes. This Policy Advisement Phase of the master <br />plan, funded at $50,000 from the Facility Replacement Reserve, was completed in November <br />2005. <br />At the December 14, 2005, work session, the Council directed the City Manager to proceed with <br />Phase 2-the Development Plan Phase-of the City Hall Complex Action Plan for $1,135,000, <br />funded from the Facility Replacement Reserve. This phase of the master plan incorporates a <br />broad community involvement process to develop direction on major policy questions, and will <br />culminate in a conceptual design reflecting the scope and location of buildings in a City Hall <br />complex. This phase will be completed in late 2006. Specific projects to implement City Hall <br />will be identified and financial plans developed in the third phase of the City Hall Complex <br />Master Plan, to be completed in early 2008. It is expected that a combination of internal funding <br />and voter approved general obligation bonds will be required to finance future projects. <br />The FY08-13 Capital Improvement Program includes the City Hall project as a placeholder <br />project in 2010. Replacing City Hall within the FY08-13 planning horizon will enable the City <br />to change its building preservation strategy to increasing the overall condition of General Fund <br />assets rather than being faced with an increasing backlog of preservation needs. <br />City of Eugene 2008 - 2013 Capital Improvement Program <br />131 <br />
