City Council Work Session: June 22, 2026

The City of Eugene held a City Council Work Session on June 22, 2026, which included a joint Urban Renewal Agency meeting. A significant portion of the session focused on the redevelopment project at 1059 Wammit Street, a mixed-use, mixed-income housing development comprising 133 units, including 68 affordable units targeted at 80% of area median income. The council discussed and unanimously approved additional funding requests to address cost increases, including a $6 million inter-agency loan and urban renewal funds, with a 35-year affordability commitment for income-qualified units. The project emphasizes transit-oriented development, sustainability with all-electric utilities, and community benefits such as pet amenities and retail space. The session also included public hearings and approvals related to the city's 2025-2027 supplemental budget, property tax levies, and urban renewal agency budgets, with all motions passing unanimously. Public comments addressed various community concerns, including affordable housing, police accountability, and climate initiatives, but no other procurement actions were noted.
