<br />
<br />A REPORT OF THE CITY MANAGER RE: BIDS ON WEST-SIDE SEWER SYSTEM, WAS SUBMITTED AND R~AD AS

<br />
<br />"I AM PRESENTING HEREWITH FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION BIOS OBTAINED BY THE CITY FOR THE CONSTRUCTION
<br />OF THE WEST-SIDE SEWER SYSTEM, SECTIONS I, 2 AND 3, TOGETHER WITH BIOS FOR THE SEWAGE PUMPING STATIO
<br />rOR THiS SYSTEM. As THE COUNCIL IS AWARE, THAT PORTION OF THE FUNDS REQUIRED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION
<br />OF THE TRUNK LINES IN THE SYSTEM IS TO BE DERIVED FROM THE PROCEEDS OF THE SPECIAL 5-MILL SEWER LEVY
<br />VOTED IN MAY, 1944. AT THE TIME THAT THIS CHARTER AMENDMENT WAS ADOPTED, AUTHORIZING THE SPECIAL
<br />MILLAGE, CERTAIN ESTIMATES WERE SUBMITTED BY THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT OF THE CITY IN SUPPORT OF
<br />THE SPECIAL MILLAGE PROPOSAL. THESE ESTIMATES INCLUDED AN ITEM - "AMAZON DRAINAGE $,164,425.80".
<br />
<br />As or RECENT DATE, MY OFFICE HAS BEEN CONTACTED BY INTERESTED PROPERTY OWNERS ALONG THE AMAZON
<br />CHANNEL WITH RErERENCE TO THIS SPECIAL LEVY IN CONTENDING THAT THE INTENT OF THE.M~ASURE WAS TO
<br />PROVIDE THE SUM OF $164,425.80 FOR AMAZON CHANNEL IMPROVEMENT. WHILE THE COMMON COUNCIL HAS, ON
<br />VARIOUS OCCASIONS, DISCUSSED THIS MATTER IN CONNECTION WITH PRIORITIES TO BE GIVEN VARIOUS PROJECTS
<br />IN CONNECTION WITH THE IMPROVEMENT AND EXTENSION OF EUGENE'S GENERAL SEWER SYSTEM, I FEEL THAT SOME
<br />rlNAL DETERMINATION SHOULD BE MADE AT THE PRESENT TIME BEFORE ANY ACTION WOULD BE TAKEN TO AUTHORIZE
<br />rURTHER EXPENDITURES OF THE SPECIAL SEWER LEVY rUNDS WHICH WILL BE NECESSARY TO rlNANCE OUR PORTION
<br />or THE NEW WEST SiDE SYSTEM.
