<br />I In answer to Dr. Purdy's fears, the City Attorney said that the organization of mass transit district -_
<br />I provides for the alternative replacement by a metropolitan service distr~ct.
<br />I -
<br />il Councilwoman Hayward commented that ,she would prefer the establishment of a metropolitan service dis-
<br />:1 trict by the vote of the people, but only 10% of the voters need sign the petition to place the matter
<br />I! on the ballot. The important matter is to keep the bus system operating.
<br />I'
<br />Ii
<br />;11 Mayor Anderson said that he could think of many reasons for voting down the resolution, the tax
<br />j burden, mechanics of government, etc., but if the resolution was not passed, the City would watch the
<br />Ii demise of the mass transit system in the area. Once lost, a system is usually gone for good, or
<br />ill restoration is much more difficult. With the thought in mind of whether to pass the resolution or to I
<br />i watch the demise of the bus system and the failure to meet the demands of the people in the area, the ,
<br />il Mayor felt that the resolution must be passed.

<br />j! Edgewood ~ This project was initiated by the City Council after receiving requests from prop~rty ~
<br />1! owners in the area. Because of the controversial nature of the project, the Council o'ieiue~gd=-an? i
<br />'I assessment be made on the basis of estimated costs so the Council could be sure it could finance - - :
<br />Ii the project prior to investing money. The assessment ordinance was read May 25, 1970, and held over ;
<br />ti to this meeting to allow the proper notice of assessment to be given to owners of property. Written I
<br />II protests have been received on the project from almost all those involved, including some who origi~al~
<br />11 ly supported the project. I
<br />I' ,
<br />:1 Mayor Anderson said that the Council had been quite realistic in its approach, and that this was one I
<br />II way it could get the reaction of the people concerned. I - -
<br />iI
<br />Ii There was no one in the audience who spoke in favor of the proposal.
<br />I,
<br />I: Mayor Anderson requested that those in the audience in opposition to the proposal~cstand..o A large
<br />1: number of those present were in opposition. . -
<br />
<br />I,
<br />
<br />I! Councilwoman Hayward said that from the large number of owners opposed and the letters received, it
<br />:1 had been indicated that this was not the time to pave Willamette Street.

<br />!i Mr. Leonard Oswald, 4275 Willamette Street, was opposed to this proj ect and suggested that traffic

<br />
<br />ill Mrs. Joy Goolsby, 18 East 47th, said that she had written various letters, and questioned the city's i
<br />I; assessment procedures.
<br />"
<br />,
<br />I: The ,City Attorney explained that the City Charter covers the rules regarding assessments of property
<br />il for streets, sewers, sidewalks and other public improvements authorized by law.
<br />"
<br />
<br />il Mrs. Goolsby suggested that the Council should study assessment procedures of other cities, and
<br />11 perhaps revise the charter so that a more equitable method may be devised.
<br />I'
<br />
<br />Ii Mayor Anderson suggested that Mrs. Goolsby write to the City Manager .and request that this matter be I I-~
<br />1'1 placed on a committee of the whole agenda.
<br />I r
<br />Ii Mrs. Daniel Sullivan, 95 East 46th, agreed with Mrs. Goolsby, and requested an opportunity to discuss
<br />I
<br />:1 the matter.
