<br /> : ,
<br />1 Mr. Swanson moved seconded by Mr. Deverell not to accept the resignation of
<br /> C. Dan Christensen as Council member from the fourth ward. Motion carried.
<br />2 The City Manager stated that the latest unofficial tally of votes "in Ward I shows
<br /> Mrs. Lauris to be about 25 votes ahead of Mr. Thomas, and that since the City could I
<br /> not- legally call for a recount of the votes in any precinct or ward the request would
<br /> necessarily have t9 come from a candidate or a political party. The City Manager sug-
<br /> gested that, pending the certification of the Elections Department on the final total
<br /> in Ward ~ perhaps no action be taken at this time.
<br /> Mr. Swanson moved seconded by Mr. Hawk that the Council take no action at this time
<br /> concerning a possible recount of votes in Ward I. Motion carried.
<br />3 Councilman Swanson asked concerning the traffic progression on 18th Avenue east-
<br /> bound from Willamette Street, and also if parking stalls could be useful on Universtty
<br /> off 18th to allow more uniform parking. The Traffic Engineer stated the signals would
<br /> be checked on 18th for progression within the next day or two"and that in his opinion
<br /> the painting of full-length traffic stalls on University would possibly lessen the
<br /> number of cars which would be able to park since many of the cars in the area are
<br /> compacts.
<br />4 Mayor Cone asked a question concerning traffic progression on Olive and Oak
<br /> Streets, and the Traffic Engineer stated that since the opening of 11th Avenue and
<br /> the direction of the flow of traffic on 11th the lights are now back in former se-
<br /> quence. Also, the Traffic Engineer answered a question from Councilman Deverell con-
<br /> cerning possible signalization at 29th and Hilyard. Councilman Hawk suggested that
<br /> yellow zones be painted on Columbia at 15th at the intersection curbs which would
<br /> allow sight clearance on this corner. This was to be checked by the Traffic Department.
<br />5 The City Manager stated the Civil Aeronautics Board had set January 20, 1965 as I
<br /> the date for the hearing on West Coast's petition for exclusive air service at Medford,
<br /> Eugene, and Salem, and the place and time would be stated in a later notice.
