ITEMS FROM THE COUNCIL, MAYOR, AND CITY MANAGER A. Highway 126 Ms. Schue pointed out for the council that a half-victory was achieved when the Oregon Department of Transportation approved Access Oregon funds to up- 4It grade Highway 126 from Florence to Eugene. B. Airport Bond Indebtedness Mr. Miller asked haw the City is paying the bond indebtedness on the airport in relation to the money set aside for capital funds. He said it is his understanding there is a $2.3 million cap that does not include airport con- struction payback. Dave Whitlow, Assistant City Manager, said that issue will be addressed during the budget process. He said the $2.3 million is in the capital budget, al- though not all of it is funded. Ms. Bascom asked if the $500,000 earmarked for airport bonds is part of the $2.3 million. Mr. Whitlow said that is being handled outside of the capital budget. He added the capital budget was not reduced because of the airport project. He said it will be reduced to some degree. Mr. Whitlow agreed to draft a one-page summary detailing the airport bond indebtedness in relation to the capital improvement budget. C. Dedications Ms. Bascom said she attended dedications for the new Lane County jail psychi- atric facility and the new emergency care facility on Highway 99. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council March 16, 1988 Page 1
