PUBLIC HEARINGS A. Appeal of West University On-Street Parking Pricing Program (memo, background information distributed) Assistant City Manager David Whitlow introduced the agenda item. Assistant Parking Administrator Jarvia Shu presented the staff report, reviewing the items under appeal and the goals of the parking program. Ms. Shu outlined the proposed implementation of the program, referring to a map illustrating the parking areas e within the West University Neighborhood. She said the proposed program was a response to the T-2000, Metropolitan, Transportation Improvement, and West University Refinement plans, and Community Goals and Policies. She reviewed the specific goals and policies within each of these plans that identified the West University Neighborhood area as a critical residential area and those objectives on which the parking program was based. Ms. Shu then reviewed the process by which staff had developed the proposal before applying for Federal funding for the program. She said that the program was given coverage by various public and private media during the past 18 months. She said that during the past two weeks the West University Neighborhood and the University/Community liaison Committee had both voted to support the program with the assumption that staff would study the feasibility of including the area between Hilyard Street and the University in the project. She said concerns had also been raised over the rates and boundaries set for the program. She said the council had reviewed the basic program elements of the program in September 1982 and had approved the submission of the grant application to the Federal government. In March 1983, a public hearing was held at which the council approved the acceptance of Federal ass i stance to impl ement the parki'ng program. She said that some latitude existed within the Federal grant to modify the rates, boundaries, and program elements. She said staff was recommending that the program continue as planned and that program elements be adjusted during the demonstration monitoring period based on actual impact. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 10, 1983 Page 1
