e e - Ms. Schue moved, seconded by Mr. Obie, that the bill be approved and given final passage. Roll call vote. All councilors present voting aye, the bill was declared passed and numbered 19141. v. DISCUSSION OF MAY 23, 1983, COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA Councilor Obie noted that a hearing was scheduled for the May 23, 1983, council meeting on improvements to Lorane Highway. He noted that this had been a controversial project involving substantial assessments and a good deal of concern from residents of the area regarding cuts and fills that would need to be made. He suggested that councilors visit the area of the proposed improvements prior to the May 23 meeting. Councilor Schue concurred with this suggestion and noted that the improvements had been requested by those concerned for the safety of children walking to Crest Drive Elementary School. She suggested councilors consider this issue as they viewed the area. Responding to a question from Mayor Keller, Mr. Teitzel said that staff had met with residents of the area and that he believed discussions regarding the design of the improvements had progressed as far as was possible. Mr. Gleason said that the City had made considerable compromises in design including reduction of the road section to 26 feet and of the sidewalk to four feet. He said no major realignment of the roadbed was proposed, and he believed only two trees would need to be removed. Responding to a question from Mayor Keller, Mr. Gleason said that he had a personal conflict of interest with the item and had asked that his property be withdrawn from calculations so they would not affect the numbers used in presentations on the item. The meeting was adjourned. ~~ Ci ty Manager (Recorded by Darcy Marentette) MDG:DCM:bm/CM26a7 MINUTES--Eugene City Council May 18, 1983 Page 5
