<br /> option for vehicle registration fees also will be p ropo sed. Options for <br /> cities to enact vehicle registrations will not be proposed because they would <br /> e be easy to avoid. <br /> Ms. Bascom said she would like the council to have a work session on street <br /> financing. <br /> Mayor Obie said he is concerned about some of the proposals in the street <br /> financing program and he would like the council to review it before a lobbying <br /> effort with other jurisdictions is developed. <br /> Ms. Schue said the street financing program is very important to the League of <br /> Oregon Cities and the Association of Oregon Counties. <br /> Responding to questions from Ms. Bascom, Mr. Smith said it would be difficult <br /> for Eugene to take an independent position to drastically modify the 1986 <br /> Roads Needs and Finance Study now. He said there will be much bargaining <br /> about the proposals, however, and Eugene's concerns could be raised then. <br /> Mayor Obie said the proposals may not be acceptable. <br /> Mr. Holmer said Governor-Elect Goldschmidt has not accepted the 1986 Roads <br /> Needs and Finance Study. <br /> Mr. Rutan said regional pursuit of some of the things in the Roads Needs and <br /> Finance Study is valid and it is important for Eugene to work with other <br /> jurisdictions in a timely fashion. <br /> e Mayor Obie directed the staff to schedule a council work session on the street <br /> financing priority. <br /> Discussing the University of Oregon and the Riverfront Research Park, <br /> Mr. Gleason said the lobbying efforts of the institutions of higher education <br /> wi 11 focus on the need for compet it i ve faculty salaries. He said City <br /> officials are discussing the Riverfront Research Park and its relationship <br /> with the University of Oregon with Governor-Elect Goldschmidt's transition <br /> team. He said the project would be an asset for the state. <br /> Answering questions from Mayor Obi e, Mr. Gleason said the City could <br /> incorporate support for University of Oregon ath 1 et i c events into its <br /> proposals for the Riverfront Research Park. However, Governor-Elect <br /> Goldschmidt wants a short list of priorities. <br /> Mayor Obie said he is concerned about a domed stadium in Portland and a united <br /> front involving the City and the University of Oregon is important. <br /> Mr. Rutan said perhaps the City can anticipate ways to work with University of <br /> Oregon officials. He said the renovation of Hayward Field is very important <br /> and the City supported it financially. Mr. Gleason responded that the City <br /> cooperates well with many offices at the University of Oregon but the <br /> University of Oregon community is not monolithic and the athletic office works <br /> somewhat independently. <br /> e MINUTES--Eugene City Council Work Session December 10, 1986 Page 2 <br />
