e Answering a question from Mayor Obie, Mr. Shelby itemized the telephone replacement costs. He said reconnection costs will be avoided if the replacement can be completed before telephone service is needed in the new FAA Control Tower. Responding to questions from Mr. Holmer and Mr. Miller, Mr. Shelby said the cost of the addition to the taxiway access to the general-aviation hanger area is $135,000. If County Road Funds are allocated for the airport expansion, they will be used for a new entrance road, a new cargo road, and relocation of the car rental lot. Answering questions from Mr. Hansen and Ms. Bascom, Mr. Shelby said the improvements are a prudent expenditure of funds even if the terminal is not expanded. If the proposed improvements are completed this summer, they will reduce the terminal expansion project by $1.6 million. Replying to a question from Mayor Obie, Mr. Shelby said the proposed improvements include landscaping all the way to Airport Road. Mr. Hanson moved, seconded by Ms. Wooten, to direct staff to proceed with the $1,665,300 Phase I land-side construction project for the parking lot, road systems, and taxiway as well as the telephone distribution network at Mahlon Sweet Airport. Roll call vote; the motion carried unanimously, 7:0. Mayor Obie said Ms. Ehrman had been excused from the meeting. e V. RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING IMPROVEMENTS ON ROYAL AVENUE FROM CANDLELIGHT DRIVE TO TERRY STREET (memo, findings distributed) A. Adoption of Hearings Official's Minutes and Findings City Manager Micheal Gleason introduced consideration of improvements to Royal Avenue from Candlelight Drive to Terry Street. City Engineer Bert Teitzel gave the staff report. He recommended the council initiate the improvements. Using visuals, he discussed the process for council initiated street improvements. He said the Hearings Officer approved the improvement of Royal Avenue on April 29, 1986. The meeting tonight was to consider the Hearings Official IS findings and to initiate the project. Mr. Teitzel said before the bids are awarded, another hearing will be held by the Hearings Official for consideration by the council. A remonstrance might be received at that time, in which case the council will also hold a hearing. If two-thirds of the councilors approve the project, the remonstrance will be overruled. Mr. Teitzel said the improvement of Royal Avenue is in the 1987 CIP. He said the project was initiated by complaints from residents and the neighborhood organizations. He said the existing road is in poor condition and becoming difficult to maintain. The project will cost the City $121,000, and it will cost the property owners $77,000. It includes 46 feet of paving with sidewalks on both sides. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council May 12, 1986 Page 5
