Exhibit A MINUTES Local Improvement District Street Paving, Curbs, Gutters, Storm Sewers, and Street Lighting Conduit on the West Side of Bailey Hill Road from Stewart Road to 7th Avenue. (Job #3557) July 23, 1997 Public Hearing A public hearing regarding the formation of a local improvement district (LID) to improve the west side of Bailey Hill Road, from Stewart Road to 7th Avenue, was held on July 23, 1997 at 6:00 p.m. in the First Floor Conference Room in the Eugene Hotel Building at 244 E. Broadway, Eugene, Oregon. Hearings Official Gary Darnielle presided. Mr. Damielle explained that the purpose of the public hearing was to allow affected members of the public to have an opportunity to comment upon the project and to ask questions of staff. Mr. Damielle further explained that he would be developing minutes of the public hearing and findings and recommendations that would be sent to the City Council to be used in their deliberations regarding the formation of the proposed LID. A staff presentation was made by Paul Klope from the Eugene Public Works Engineering Division. He was assisted by Bob Terrel, Project Manager. Mr. Klope explained that the project consisted of improving the west side of Bailey Hill Road from Stewart Road to 7th Avenue with paving, curbs, gutters, storm sewers, and street lighting conduit. The improvements would match the existing width of Bailey Hill Road to the south, between Stewart and West 11 th Avenue. The City Engineer initiated this project as a result of the submission of an irrevocable petition for the improvements and due to the pending development of the lots. Prior to initiation, staff contacted the owners of the lots to determine whether they wished construct the project privately or whether they wished to go through the LID process. Two of the three property owners indicated that they preferred to construct the improvements through the LID process. The owner of the south parcel, Mr. Hammer, stated that he wanted to build the improvements using a privately engineered process. Since a majority of the property owners chose the LID process and it is a logical to construct the entire section of the street at this time with a single project, the City has chosen to recommend the formation of the LID. Mr. Klope further explained that staff had designed and bid the project. The low bid price of $106,740 was under the engineer's estimate. The estimated assessments are $101 per front foot which is lower than similar projects of this width. The front foot cost does not include sidewalks which will be required as a condition of building permit approval for each lot. The irrevocable petition represents 100 percent of the assessable frontage of the project although the City will pay for 14 feet of extra width as well as for the storm sewer and street lighting conduit. The City's share of the project is estimated as $94, 676. Mr. Klope noted that Food For Lane County had requested a reduction in its assessment amount but since there were no code provisions that would enable staff to grant this request no changes were made in the estimated assessment for its parcel. The staff recommends the formation of the LID and award of the contract. In response to a question by the Hearings Official, Mr. Klope stated that the original estimate for the project prior to bid was $113,000. Minutes -July 23,1997 Public Hearing Page 1
