in cooperation with council representatives of the MPC/MPO, to amend <br /> the fiscal year 2005-07 MTIP to fund the Chad Drive extension, Roose- <br /> velt extension Terry to Royal exclusively with system development <br /> charges and assessments, and to reprogram all STP-U funding in the <br /> Monroe-Friendly bikeway and the Chad Drive extension to the highest <br /> priority road or bikeway preservation projects. After which the City <br /> Manager will return to the City Council for approval of the amended <br /> FY05-07 MTIP. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman said she included the Roosevelt extension in the motion because of her concerns about its <br />source of funding. She did not know where the rest of the projected funding was to come from, so she <br />added it to the motion. Regarding the Monroe-Friendly bikeway project, she interpreted the work as being <br />"basically signage." She did not think it was the same priority as some preservation projects and objected <br />to using the money for the project. She maintained that the Chad Drive extension could be funded by <br />SDCs and assessments. She found her position consistent with the City's priorities regarding both <br />TransPlan and the maintenance of existing road system. <br /> <br />Mr. Poling said that the money for Chad Drive would go back to the regional pot and might not be <br />available to Eugene. The council approved the project in a variety of venues. It coincided with a County <br />project to upgrade Game Farm Road. The extension would take traffic off local streets and extend the <br />lives of those roads. He felt it important to keep the project alive. <br /> <br />Mr. Kelly agreed about the value of the Chad Drive project, but the motion did not delete the project, it <br />changed how it was paid for. For that reason, he could support it. <br /> <br />Mr. Pap6 thought the last motion was government at its best, a policy-setting exercise, while he likened <br />the motion before the council to switching courses on a marathon runner. <br /> <br />Ms. Ortiz indicated she was unprepared to take action at this time and would move to table the motion. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ortiz, seconded by Mr. Kelly, moved to table the motion. The mo- <br /> tion passed, 7:1; Mr. Poling voting no. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy adjourned the meeting at 7 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Dennis M.
