Councilor Bettman asked what other entities were being assessed. Mr. Klope replied that St. Vincent DePaul, the Santa Clara Investment Group, the Laksidanta LLC, and PeaceHealth were also being assessed. Councilor Bettman asked why the street was classified as a local street. She opined it should be classified as a collector or an arterial. Mr. Klope did not know the reasoning behind the classification. Councilor Bettman registered her opposition to the motion based on the funding package. She opined there were hidden elements in the financing, such as the funding of the Fire Station using, in part, operations money and that a small portion of the funding was being spent on the street. Roll call vote; the motion passed, 7:1; Councilor Bettman voting in opposition. Councilor Poling, seconded by Councilor Solomon, moved that the City Council adopt Council Bill 4890, an ordinance levying assessments for Santa Clara Avenue. Roll call vote; the motion passed unanimously, 8:0. 7. ACTION: An Ordinance Concerning Motor Vehicle Fuel Dealer's Business Licenses; and Amending Sections 3.465, 3.467, 3.474, 3.480, 3.483, and 3.484 of the Eugene Code, 1971 City Manager Taylor said Public Works Department Director Kurt Corey was available to answer questions. He recommended that the ordinance be passed. Councilor Bettman, seconded by Councilor Pap6, moved to separate the ordinance into two ordinances: one ordinance to c6ntain the gas tax increase from section (2) of the ordinance and a second ordinance to contain the balance of the ordinance. Councilor Bettman explained that she did not support the gas tax but supported codification of the other parts of the ordinance. Roll call vote; the motion passed unanimously, 8:0. Councilor Poling, seconded by Councilor Solomon, moved that the City Council adopt Council Bill 4885, an ordinance concerning motor vehicle fuel dealer's business licenses as written in the version handed out on January 24, 2005. Councilor Solomon asked if this ordinance addressed the issues raised by Ron Tyree at the public hearing. Mr. Corey responded that the amended ordinance addressed his concern regarding the 80 percent refund on diesel fuel used by vendors that pay weight/mile taxes. Councilor Kelly, seconded by Councilor Taylor, moved to amend the motion to delete the definition of 'weight receipt' from Section 1 of the Ordinance, and to delete subsections (2) and (3) from EC 3.483 in Section 4 of the Ordinance.
