e Eugene Water and Electric (EWEB) Board of Directors, the disposition of surplus public property, and compensation for property if it is vacated. The council directed the City Manager to negotiate with the General Director of EWEB about preparation of an agreement concerning the disposition of public property. Mr. Croteau said progress is being made on the agreement. Mr. Croteau said the vacation request complies with the Cityls criteria for vacations. The area is not needed for public services, facilities, or utilities; public services can be extended efficiently; and the vacation is consistent with applicable transportation plans. Discussing possible compensation for the vacated area, Mr. Croteau said the City did not pay for the land and has not incurred costs for its maintenance. The property was deeded for street and alley use by the abutting property owners. He said the EWEB Master Plan indicates that park and Greenway space will be provided adjacant to the Willamette River when the EWEB office building is constructed. Mr. Croteau recommended approval without compensation of the vacation request. Ms. Wooten said she is satisfied with the progress being made in the discussions with EWEB representatives. She hoped the councilors and members of the EWEB Board of Directors can meet and discuss serious concerns. Mr. Hansen opened the public hearing.
