e VIII. APPOINTMENT OF MUNICIPAL JUDGE Mayor Miller reported that he and Councilors Bascom and Rutan participated in the procedure required by City Code for evaluating and making recommendations regarding the performance of the Municipal Judge. The committee recommends Judge Bocci's reappointment for a four-year term at a rate of $62 per hour. Ms. Bascom moved, seconded by Ms. Schue, to appoint Frank E. Bocci as Municipal Court Judge for a four-year term commencing July 1, 1989, to serve at the pleasure of the City Council and to compensate Judge Bocci at the rate recommended by the Council Committee. Roll call vote; the motion carried unanimously, 5:0. IX. RESOLUTION CONCERNING WORKERS' COMPENSATION SURETY BOND This item was postponed to a future meeting, at which time Mr. Holmer asked that staff address and explain the difference between recitals and findings. X. RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING ACQUISITION BY CONDEMNATION (BAILEY HILL ROAD) City Manager Mike Gleason introduced the item. Chris Andersen, Public Works Director, presented an overview of items X. and XI. She explained that the e projects are currently under construction or scheduled to begin soon. With the end of the construction season approaching, she said it is important to move forward with these projects in a timely fashion. It takes approximately 45 days for resolution of condemnation of property and the City to take possession. During that period, a formal appraisal is performed and an offer is made to the property owner. The initiation of a condemnation procedure infrequently results in an order for condemnation because a mutually acceptable price or value for the right-of-way necessary for public improvements can usually be negotiated. Initiating that process helps the construction process move forward by establishing a finite time period. Ms. Andersen described the Bailey Hill parcel shown on a map distributed to councilors and said improvement of the intersection is currently under construction and the parcel is in the process of being acquired. Condemnation enables the acquisition process to move ahead. Res. No. 4134--A resolution authorizing the institution of proceedings in eminent domain for the acquisition by condemnation of property interests along Bailey Hill Road south of West 11th Avenue for the purposes of construction of street improvements; and declaring an emergency. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council August 14, 1989 Page 11
