Cone with the following councilmen present: Mrs. Lauris, Messrs. McNutt, Anderson, Lassen, Mrs. Hayward, Messrs. McDonald and Wingard. Councilman Purdy was absent. Minutes of the January 9, 1967 meeting, as maiE d to Council members, were approved. NEW BUSINESS 1 10th and Oak ParkIDgAss~ment District - The City Manager's report was read with regard to objections filed previously by Stanley Darling on behalf of the DeNeffe Estate prop- erties on 11th between Oak and Pearl. Also read were affidavits of Dale Brueger, assistant manager of Eugene Medical Center; Arthur R. Quackenbush, property owner; and John Porter, planning director. The Affidavits concerned 'exempt' or 'non-exempt' parking status of certain parking lots within the proposed district. e Robert E. Moulton, representing the 1st National Bank of Oregon as trustee for the Fred Fisk Estate, owner of a parking lot at 11th and Oak, objected to the assessment against the Fred Fisk property and joined with Stanley Darling in the matter. I Mr. Moulton claimed no substantial difference between certain lots in the proposed dis- trict which have been exempted and the parking lot in the Fisk ownership. He stated the Fisk property had been assessed $186,000, or 9% of the total_ cdst 6fthe fac1tity. Stanley Darling, representing the DeNeffe Estate properties, reiterated his argument that a double standard of assessment is being used, present use exempting some prop- erties, others being assessed on proximity only. He asked that the parking assessment district be re-initiated after complete examination and mentioned the possibility of reassessment because of the change in 'exempt' or 'non-exempt' status of portions of the Medical Center lots. The City Attorney advised the hearing should be continued to February 6, 1967 Council meeting in order to notify the Eugene Medical Center of ptDposed assessments on lots not previously assessed (Parcel No. 33 - $34,540.33 and 54% of Parcel No. 42 - $49,738.07). Mr. And~rson moved seconded:by Mr. Lauris to continue the hearing to February 6, 1967, with notices to be sent to Eugene Medical Center. Motion carried. 2 7th and Wil1amette Parking Assessment District - Robert Elfers, attorney representing Lane County, again stated the County's feeling that assessment using a formula based on proximity only is in error. He said the value of property in governmental ownership is not the same as that of commercial property. I Oscar Spliid, representing John Warren Hardware, said they were not protesting formation of the 7th and Willamette par~ing assessment district, but wanted to call attention to notice which had been given the Council previously with regard to property in Warren ownership which is being converted to a parking lot. No action was taken, pending consideration of ordinance (C.B.7827) forming district and levying assessments. 3 Bills - For':i:he "period- January 1 to 'January -21,: 1:967-~wer_epresented. and read as follows: e I e _' ,.';;.-,.,.
