e M I NUT E S EUGENE CITY COUNCIL March 28, 1979 Adjourned meeting from March 26, 1979, of the City Council of the City of Eugene, Oregon, was called to order by His Honor Mayor Gus Keller, March 28, 1979, Council Chamber, 11:45 a.m., with the following Councilors present: Jack Delay, Betty Smith, Eric Haws, Scott Lieuallen (arrived late), Brian Obie, Gretchen Miller, and Emily Schue. Councilor D.W. Hamel was absent. I. ITEMS FROM MAYOR AND COUNCIL A. Metro Area Transportation Committee (MATC)--Ms. Miller attended a recent meeting. Action taken resulted in putting the Roosevelt Truckway and the 30-30 Connector on the Transportation Plan in order to get Federal financing. Some indication from the Federal Government indicated this would not be acceptable, since funding was being requested only for the Roosevelt Truckway at this time and the 30-30 Connector was not due for construction until well beyond five years from now. She said more information would be available later in the summer. - Assistant Manager said the Federal Government would probably delete those items on the City.s time line, and noted the 30-30 Connect~r was not to be implemented until after 1990. However, the Committee still chose to put them in the TIP. It is assumed the Federal Government may say that these are part of the T-2000 Plan and would rather wait until modifications of that plan are completed. Mr. Delay wondered what rationale was offered by the Committee for putting projects in the transportation plan that were not included in the T-2000 Plan. Ms. Miller responded that the majority of the Committee wanted to see those built. Jim Farah, Planner, said he understood the action of MATC to put those two proposals on the Functional Classification System which is different from the Federal Aid System. Staff had been directed to consider the 30-30 Connector in the update of the T-2000 Plan. He said it has been staff's con- tention that the decision is predicated on the action of the General Metro Update. B. Agenda Adjustments Item II-G (Council Bill 1862) for public hearing and easement vacation (A & X, Inc., EV 78-15) was deleted from the agenda because of inade- quate public notice given regarding a variance request for the property. The item will be rescheduled when action has been taken on the variance. Item VI--Appeal from Paul Osborn, HCC, was held over to the April 4 meeting by request of the owner. - 3/28/79--1 /15
