<br />A report of the City Manager re: proposed vacation of Inavale Street, was
<br />submit.tedand. read as foll..o'ws,:
<br />
<br />7
<br />
<br />."The Council member~ will r~call that recently. it tabled a proposed vacation i:
<br />of Inavale Street, upon the recommendation of the Public Works Committee. "
<br />
<br />,In making its investigation of the proposed va,catiori.:.the, Public Works Com-
<br />mittee took .under consideration the.. possibility. of some.future re-:allignment of
<br />this. street and in this connection suggested that a further investigation be made
<br />as to ownerships of various parcels of property that would be involved in such
<br />str,eetre-,allignment., .
<br />
<br />I'
<br />
<br />,
<br />To. carry out this suggestion we. .find.that it would be ne.cessary fO:r the City;:
<br />to acquir.e. a.portion .of the old Southern Facif.ic. St.reet railway right~o.f-way :'
<br />abutting the street properand",owned :in part by, the., Souther.n.Facif,ic, .Qompany and '
<br />cer,tain ,pri.vate property owners. '. I,.hav"e....had, ..theEngine,er,s. .o.ffice,pre.pare a list
<br />and. a de.s,cri.ption.of the properti.esin question. and which are shown on the map
<br />attached to this report. I should, therefore, like, .to ask authorizat,ion of the
<br />Council at this time, tha'4 the,prope.r city officers.. be authorized t,o complete
<br />negotiations.. for the purchase of. these " parcels. of .property.- in or,de.r that the way
<br />would be cleared for any future action with reference to the street re-allignment. "
<br />It would appear at this time that the entire cost of such acquisit~on would not be ;
<br />in...exc.ess :of $100.00." :

<br />It.was mov.ed by Crumbaker, seconded, by Da:v:i.s.that the report of the .Manager be
<br />received and placed on file and that the Manager be autho~ized to proceed with
<br />negotiations for" purchase, of ,the: pro:perty.. Motion carried..,

<br />A report o~ the City Manager re: repairs to roof of Library Building, was
<br />submitted and read as follows:
<br />
<br />'tAt the time that the budget for the fiscal year 1947-48 was. adopted last
<br />spring,. the allocation for Public tLibrary purpose,s was. volun tarily reduqed by
<br />action of the Library Board for the City of Eugene. . Since that date an emergency
<br />involving the repairs to the roof of the library building. has, taken place and
<br />. resulted in the necessary expenditu:r:e of $290.00. This. emerge.ncy.. is one that
<br />could not reasonably have been foreseen by the Library:!?oard at the time its
<br />budget was prepared for the fiscal year and the .Board has requested that the
<br />Council authorize the expenditure of $290.00 from our emergency funds at this time'~
<br />to. me.et the cost of the. roof repairs. .
<br />
<br />In view of the reduced budget. under. which the l-i brary is operating for this :'
<br />year, it would appear that this request is entirely in order and I would recommend::
<br />to the Common Council that authorization be given for the payment of this bill for;
<br />roof. .repa iI'S. . from "our Emergency Fund.s."
<br />
<br />It was moved by Davis, seconded. by"Ha.wn that the repor.t of theCi ty Manager be
<br />received and placed on file and that the expenditure of emergency funds be
<br />. approved. Rollc,all,~ AlLG.ouncilmen.present voting AYE. Allen and Hanns absent.
