Councilor Poling expressed appreciation for the motion. He averred that there were people in the City who <br />wanted to use alternate modes of transportation and the City of Eugene encouraged this. He indicated he <br />would support it. <br /> <br />Councilor Ortiz did not think it was the intent of the City Council to create hardships for people. While she <br />did not condone the use of the motorized scooters because they were unsafe and helmets were not required, <br />she felt some users rode such scooters because they could not afford a car and did not want to set them up <br />for fines they could not afford to pay. <br /> <br />Councilor Bettman supported the motion. She commented that 30 to 40 percent of the City land mass was <br />paved and it was important to accommodate all modes of transportation on the streets. She wanted the City <br />to distinguish between where it wanted its non-motorized vehicles to be, given that such a small portion of <br />the right of way was designated for them. <br /> <br /> Roll call vote; the motion passed unanimously, 7:0. <br /> <br />7. ACTION: <br /> An Ordinance Concerning Public Contracting; Adding Sections 2.1400, 2.1405, 2.1410, 2.1415, <br /> 2.1420, 2.1425, 2.1430, 2.1435, 2.1440, 2.1445, and 2,1450 to the Eugene Code, 1971; Repealing <br /> Sections 2.1200, 2.1205, 2.1210, 2.1215, 2.1220, 2.1225, 2.1230, 2.1235, 2.1240, 2.1245, 2.1250, <br /> and 2.1255 of that Code; Declaring an Emergency; and Providing an Effective Date <br /> <br /> Councilor Solomon, seconded by Councilor Taylor, moved that the City <br /> Council adopt Council Bill 4896, an ordinance concerning public <br /> contracting. <br /> <br />Councilor Kelly thanked staff for providing the list of differences from the old code to the new code. He <br />asked, regarding packet page 208, what changes there were from the old code to the new code language <br />regarding privately engineered public improvements (PEPI). <br /> <br />City Attorney Jerry Lidz responded that it did not change the instances in which the City would ask a private <br />developer undertaking a PEPI to tag on a piece of work for the City. He clarified that the request could be <br />made without going through the competitive solicitation process if the six conditions listed on pages 7 and 8 <br />of the ordinance were met. <br /> <br />Councilor Kelly wished to affirm, given that the code did not confer any budget authority, that the piece of <br />the project paid for by the City would need to be already committed through capital budget funds and that, if <br />not, it would have to come before the council as a supplemental budget piece. Mr. Lidz indicated this was <br />so. He cited two instances, such as when a catch basin by a development needed repair or a street <br />improvement was needed, under which this situation could occur. <br /> <br />Councilor Bettman appreciated the new format. Regarding the assertion that specific provisions determined <br />when the City could engage in an informal solicitation for bids, she asked how the City would monitor <br />informal bids and ascertain there was no favoritism. Ms. Pomes replied that the informal solicitation <br />process had different thresholds for different solicitations. She said there was still competition and it was <br />required that at least three competitive quotes or proposals be submitted. She related that staff looked at <br /> <br />MINUTES--Eugene City Council February 28, 2005 Page 12 <br /> Regular Session <br /> <br /> <br />
