e Mr. Boggs said to date, the total construction contract amount, including all change orders, is $11,265,224. The original construction contract amount was for $11,107,217. He indicated that this is still within the project budget. Approximately 47 percent of the total building is complete. Phase One of the project should be complete in mid-June; Phase Two should be complete by Christmas. Mr. Boggs called the council's attention to the fact that the screening point for passengers has been moved to the first floor so that all passengers must go through the security check point. This is consistent with the Federal Aviation Administration's recent emphasis on security and Horizon Airline1s desire to screen all their passengers leaving our airport. Mr. Bennett asked if project costs are likely to exceed the allocation. Mr. Boggs said there are two places where overruns could occur. One is when activities in the current facility are moved to the new facility or another temporary facility. Another is when the finish materials are added at the end of the project. He felt that that budget and schedule are very tight, but that the project could be finished without exceeding the initial allocation. He indicated that the schedule would depend on the contractor's performance and weather conditions. Mr. Boles asked for recognition of passenger inconvenience resulting from the construction. Mr. Boggs said passengers have been informed of the construction through their travel agents but that additional signs could be posted in the terminal. e Mr. Boggs forecasted some upcoming projects at the airport. In 1989 the Airport Master Plan will be updated and an environmental assessment will be produced. There will also be an overlay of the surface of runway 16/34, a runway extension evaluation, some terminal ramp expansion, construction of a parallel taxi-way, and installation of an emergency generator. The total cost for these nonpassenger terminal projects is approximately $2,423,000. VI. WORK SESSION: HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ORDINANCE AND A BUSINESS LICENSING ORDINANCE FOR HAZARDOUS MATERIALS AND FIRE SAFETY BUSINESS LICENSES Fire Marshal Roger Cleland introduced the item. The council decided to postpone discussion of the ordinance until its January 23, 1989, work session. Mr. Bennett asked for a short summary of key issues in the ordinance before that work session. Other councilors agreed that this would be helpful. Mr. Holmer said he felt the council should focus on the adoption of policy; a number of items in the ordinance should be decided administratively and they should not have been included. Mr. Gleason agreed with this view, but said in this case, the council is adopting a State code which means the extra administrative details had to be included in this ordinance. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council January 18, 1989 Page 6
