Z, the city of Eugene has had a plan all along. The plan goes back to before Eugene rate payers paid through the nose for a new EWEB facility. (no collusion there) Mark my words, 20 million dollars of renovations later and telling us how much money they saved, the new city hall will be the "old" EWEB building.

Girl Named Z, didn't you hear, the building they were in would not stand a 6.5 earthquake which might occur in the next 10,000 years.

I live in Springfield, so I'm not fully in 'the know', but it seems to me that maybe they should have had "a plan" before vacating the existing "already paid for" building and moving out into places they have to rent, lease, etc. It seems kind of like a family of 4 with a new baby saying "well our house is too small for our family, so let's move out of our house and into individual hotel rooms, and then we'll decide whether we should sell the house and move to a new house, or demolish and rebuild our old house. Seems like the kind of decision that should be made before you start renting temporary digs.. so as to minimize the amount of time you're paying rent? Was there some reason that they HAD to vacate immediately? Was the building condemned or something?

No that makes too much sense to use the old federal building. And hopefully Kitty won't be around in 2014.

How about the old federal building across the street from city hall? It's close to the action downtown
