<br /> e Ms. Wooten asked whether businesses and residences would be disrupted by construc- <br /> tion of these projects. ~ <br /> Public hearing was opened. <br /> Gordon Elliott, 938 Jefferson Street, said he believed in the free enterprise <br /> system and therefore felt that public investment in such things as sewers should <br /> not be used to reduce the ability of lands outside the City to compete with <br /> lands within the City in attracting industry. <br /> There being no further testimony, public hearing was closed. <br /> Mr. Teitzel responded to Ms. Wooten's question and said that the route for these <br /> projects had been chosen to disturb as few businesses as possible. He said that <br /> four possible routes had been considered, that owners of all properties affected <br /> by those routes had been notified, and that public hearings had been held. <br /> Councilor Smith said, as a member of the MWMC, that good notification efforts <br /> were made and that MWMC recommended approval of the proposed route. <br /> Mr. Gleason said that the project would serve the West Eugene area, including <br /> approximately one-third of the City, not just the Willow Creek area. Councilor <br /> Ball added that overloaded sewer systems in the Bethel area would also be served <br /> by the project. <br /> Res. No. 3705--A resolution initiating proceedings before the <br /> Lane County Local Government Boundary Commission <br /> e for approval for extra-territorial extension of <br /> sanitary sewers. <br /> Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Ms. Schue, to adopt the resolution. <br /> Roll call vote. Roll call vote; motion carried unanimously. <br /> C. Public Works Contract Awards (memo, tabulations attached) <br /> 1. Sanitary sewer reconstruction on Spring Boulevard to 23rd Avenue <br /> (2025) <br /> 2. Sanitary sewer between Fox Hollow Road and West Drive from <br /> Fox Hollow Road to Martin Street (2021) <br /> Mr. Gleason introduced Bert Teitzel, City Engineer. Mr. Teitzel said staff <br /> recommended that the council not award a contract for the Spring Boulevard <br /> project, since the bid received was out of line with the engineer's estimate of <br /> the cost. He said staff recommended awarding the contract for the Fox Hollow <br /> Road project to Eugene Sand and Gravel, Incorporated, on the condition that <br /> necessary easements be acquired by the City. <br /> Public hearing was opened. There being no testimony, public hearing was closed. <br /> e <br /> MINUTES--Eugene City Council August 9, 1982 Page 9 <br />
