The City of Eugene has expended considerable funds on site preparation for its city hall. Even if Lane County reimburses Eugene for these costs, tax payers will pay the bill. Lane County's courthouse requirements are likely to change further; construction is still years into the future. The best path is for Eugene to build the city hall on its current site. The Eugene City Council should not become distracted by premature ideas that are likely to evolve. This is a situation where the best answer is a simple, "no."
