Ms. Shu said that the West University Neighbors, the University Small Business Association, the University of Oregon, Sacred Heart Hospital, the Downtown Commission, and the University/Community Liaison Committee had all endorsed acceptance of the grant. She said staff recommended adoption of the resolution. Public hearing was opened. There being no testimony, the hearing was closed. Res. No. 3756--A resolution authorizing execution of a cooperative agreement with the United States of America, Department of Transportation, Urban Mass Transpor- tation Administration for Project No. OR-06-0010 for parking pricing demonstration strategies within the City of Eugene, Oregon. Ms. Schue moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, to adopt the resolution. Councilor Holmer commended staff and Mr. Lindberg on the grantsmanship demon- strated in the grant application. He was concerned with receiving Federal funds for such a study when the City had other priorities he perceived as much more pressing than the parking problem. Councilor Lindberg responded that the parking situation in the West University area was a long-term problem and that the West University Refinement Plan had emphasized the need for a solution to the problem. He pointed out that diverse groups concerned with the area had voted to support the program. Councilor Hansen said that he shared Mr. Holmer's concerns but that, since all those involved supported the program, he would support it, too. Councilor Lindberg noted that the grant application had included an evaluation process. He asked how the City would determine whether the program was working and if the City could withdraw the program if it was not effective. Ms. Shu responded that extensive evaluation and monitoring would be done. She said that the UMTA was flexible regarding changes to the program, but that if the City wished it could terminate the program before the two-year period was up.
