Councilor Solomon asked if there was a need to extend the deadline for the company owners to pay their bills. Glen Potter, Management Analyst for the Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department, responded that there had been precedents set for extending the deadline and there had been no objections to it in the past. Councilor Poling, seconded by Councilor Solomon, moved that the City Council adopt Council Bill 4898, an ordinance concerning hazardous substance user fees. Councilor Bettman asked for an update on the legislative process that sought a remedy for the cap on the fees. Mr. Potter thanked her for providing testimony to the House Environment Committee on March 31. He said he, Councilor Taylor, and Mayor Piercy had delivered the testimony. He related that Intergovernmental Relations Manager Jason Heuser had indicated that the committee wanted additional information from the City and possibly some concessions such as a medium-range lifting of the cap, possibly to change it to $6,000. He noted there had also been some discussion of some legislative provision that would limit future growth in the program's budget. Roll call vote; the motion passed unanimously, 8:0. 6. ACTION: FY06-FY011 Draft Capital Improvement Program City Manager Taylor recounted that Councilor Bettman had a motion on the table. Councilor Bettman thanked staff for providing amended language that "suited" her intent.

She made one correction, as follows: "9. New Transportation capital projects including Transit Projects that are located within Eugene city limits..." Councilor Bettman, seconded by Councilor Kelly, moved to substitute Attachment B with the above noted addition, page 343 of the agenda packet, for the proposed amendments that had been tabled.
